LOS ANGELES—At the 2023 XRCO Awards, adult performer Maitland Ward earned her third successive Best Actress trophy in honor of her showcase performance in Deeper’s dramatic feature, Drift.
A historic first-time feat in the category since the show’s 1985 debut, Ward, who also took home the esteemed award in 2021 and 2022 for Muse and Muse Season 2, respectively, now officially holds the honor as the only performer to win Best Actress three times in a row.
Upon Drift’s completion last year, Ward told fans that she and director Kayden Kross "went way outside the box this time to create a five-part feature spectacle like no other" that examines the public persona and private affairs of a popular rom-com actress.
Said Ward, "A big thank you to the X-Rated Critics Organization’s editors and reviewers for selecting me as XRCO’s Best Actress for a third straight year. However, an actor’s talent shines brightest when nurtured by exceptional writing, direction, and behind-the-scenes expertise, so I want to also thank Kayden Kross and the amazing crew at Deeper for their incredible collaborative artistry and support."
Ward, who signed on as the face of Deeper and Vixen Media Group (VMG) contract star in 2019, recently announced a two-year extension on her exclusive deal into 2025, featuring a variety of upcoming projects that the star will also write and direct.
