If there’s one word that sums up 2009 AVN Best Actress Nominee Kirsten Price’s approach to her career, it’s driven. She’s tackled her many projects with a flawless precision and her hard work has been rewarded with an impressive set of award nominations. Her estimable acting skills have been recognized with a Best Actress mention for her skillful work in Mouth, while her formidable sexual display in Brad Armstrong’s Cockstar earned her and co-stars Alektra Blue and Lexxi Tyler a Best All-Girl Three-Way Sex Scene nomination. These virtuoso performances have kept her in the limelight since her Armstrong-directed war epic Coming Home emerged as one of 2007’s most acclaimed releases, and helped Ms. Price lock down both a Best Actress - Video nom for her captivating performance in the movie and a Female Performer of the Year nom for the overall excellence of her work.

While the latter nomination was in recognition of Kirsten’s adult movie accomplishments, it’s indicative of the same drive to succeed that she’s exhibited ever since she left Massachusetts for New York’s Big Apple and the greater opportunity it represented at an early age. Once there, it didn’t take long for this alluring star-in-the-making to find her calling when she started doing bikini modeling. With her natural beauty and infectious personality, Kirsten quickly made a name for herself on the modeling and pageant circuits. She won several titles, including the prestigious Hawaiian Tropic competition. On the heels of this early success, Kirsten relocated to Los Angeles, where she quickly landed a spot in the Playboy Magazine Special Edition Girls Next Door. Impressed with her ease in front of the camera, Playboy also shot her for additional Special Editions, including the highly popular Book of Lingerie. With her Playboy Magazine shoots under her belt, Kirsten started posing for more men’s magazines, and has since been seen in Adam Film World, Hustler, Club, Cheri, High Society and Strip Las Vegas.

By early 2005, Kirsten’s life took a high octane turn as she made her debut in adult movies. With her stunning beauty and passionate sexual performances, she quickly captured the attention of Wicked Pictures president and owner Steve Orenstein. Intrigued with her charming personality and thirst for success, Orenstein immediately signed the charismatic performer to a two-year deal.

Reviewers have raved about the high quality of Kirsten's work, citing her beauty and solid acting chops as two attributes that make her movies must-see viewing experiences. With all this in mind, it comes as no surprise that she was the Temptation Awards' choice for Best New Starlet of 2006. In Europe, she received a MEDIEN ELine nomination in the same category at the 10th Annual Venus Berlin Fair.

Always striving to perfect her craft, Kirsten has turned in impressive performances in an array of releases, including the lead in Michael Raven’s ambitious Supernatural. In two of Wicked's most ambitious projects, Armstrong's Manhunters and FUCK, she displayed a sexual confidence that further solidified her superstardom. Not surprisingly, she was rewarded with five 2007 AVN Award nominations, including Best Actress (Just Like That), Best Supporting Actress (Manhunters), Best New Starlet and two sex scene noms. At the 2007 AVN Awards show, Kirsten happily took home the Best Supporting Actress honors.

Since then, she’s continued to impress fans with quality performances in titles like Michael Raven’s Dinner at Frankie’s  and in Brad Armstrong vehicles Spin the Bottle and Roommates.

In addition to her Wicked work, she’s hosted Playboy TV’s "infotainment" series The Bang, and appeared on its hugely successful Night Calls. In the mainstream, Fox Reality’s My Bare Lady saw her proving her thespian skills in a London production of Romeo and Juliet.  She’s also hosted podcasts for rock legends Poison and made guest appearances on Showtime’s Weeds. 

With recent projects like Francois Clousot’s The Stranger, Brad Armstrong’s House of Wicked and the sci-fi epic 2040 giving her ambitious career more momentum every day, you can expect to see much more of this stunning Wicked Girl on TV, on the web, and on the red carpet!
