Maitland Ward Named Best Actress at XRCO Awards

LOS ANGELES—Maitland Ward received her second consecutive Best Actress trophy at the 2022 XRCO Awards, held May 5.

She was recognized for her performance in Deeper’s feature Muse 2.

The Deeper contract star described to the Daily Beast her portrayal of the movie's sexual psychology professor as “notorious for her many-limbed body of work in the world of sex ... she goes from being a hunter to prey but then also a hunter again—all in the blink of an eye.”

“I want to extend my appreciation to the X-Rated Critics Organization’s editors and reviewers for their consideration in acknowledging my work—for two years in a row—as Professor Ward in Muse and Muse 2,” Ward said. “And I also would like to thank Kayden Kross—XRCO’s reigning Best Director (Features), as well as the supremely talented Deeper production team, for their hard work in bringing the magic of Muse to life!”

Meanwhile, Ward’s personal memoir, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me From Hollywood will be released on Sept. 6 and will be available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million and Indiebound, all of which are currently taking pre-orders.
