Superstars like White and Ferrara are the exceptions and can make double or triple the normal rate. A 21-year veteran with over 1,900 scenes under his belt, Ferrara says he basically sets his own rate to control how much he works. He’s made himself so expensive that he only works with the best studios, directors and co-stars. As Angela White, one of the industry’s top women performers, points out, some of the strongest adult films tap into real feelings, passion, and connection. “The best porn is when it’s most likely to feel threatening because there are emotions and feelings and there’s passion and real chemistry,” she said during a filming break. “It doesn’t mean that it goes beyond those walls. But the best porn as a performer to experience is the porn that doesn’t feel like porn.” White and Ferrara have performed together in over 20 scenes. Even so, “Angela 3” was special for them both. In part, it’s the potential for authentic feelings—the intersection of work and intimacy—that drives Ferrara to ask Kross to leave once the sex starts. He prefers her in another room, even if rationally he knows that she will not only bring her monitors with her, but also later edit the scene. “He doesn’t want to do something that he’s doing to make the performance look better and then have me interpret it as this spontaneous reaction to the person, but obviously I know that,” she says. As Ferrara tells it, his discomfort is a result of concern for how she will react. “I never want to think, ‘If I do this, is she going to get upset? If I say that, is she going to get upset?’”

Meanwhile, make the filling. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium–high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fully cooked. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in the cream and allow to bubble until it coats the mushrooms in a light sauce. Stir in the Parmesan and most of the chopped herbs and season well.

Just a decade ago, the old-school porn studios signed the most popular entertainers to exclusive contracts and fans followed their favorite female stars by buying the studio’s big release. While those movies are still getting made, no one is waiting around for them to drop. White pulled off “Angela 3” because she’s one of the few industry veterans with enough clout to call the shots. She parlayed her on-screen success into her own production company, which gave her the freedom to write, cast, shoot and edit the film.

Similarly, Kross questions the allegations against Ferrara and Dupree, but has also been vocal about the issue of consent on set. “I’m getting better and better at finding all the little places where there could be violations and controlling for that,” she said, explaining that she’ll often interrupt scenes, even at the slightest sign of unease, to ensure that a performer is comfortable.Hewitt’s pristine articulation and clarity of thought, line and feeling are, as ever, inimitable … I am still surprised at just how expressively, and romantically, the great Canadian plays this music” (The Herald)

Angela Hewitt’s legion of fans will be delighted at this third volume of Beethoven sonatas. Her first two releases in this series were praised for their ‘clarity, intelligence and elegance’ … ‘fusing poetry and passion’, and all these trademark qualities of her playing are fully present in this third disc. Few adult performers have her staying power. Most leave the business before anyone knows their name. Meanwhile, the never-ending supply of new 18-year-olds and the emergence of “webcam girls” offering custom porn has made it harder than ever for fresh faces to establish themselves. Ferrara says part of his request for satellite directing is to avoid this kind of interference. “We’ve seen girls that are great performers and then because Kayden was here they kind of ... ,” he trails off as he tightens his shoulders and freezes up his body. “They don’t want to offend her. They don’t understand that she’s down with it, she’s cool with it, she wants the best scene, no matter what it takes.” As Kross puts it, “It works with the performers that are most clear about the fact that it’s a job.”as well as I know Hewitt’s playing, from Bach to Schumann, I am still surprised at just how expressively, and romantically, the great Canadian plays this music.” (The Herald, Scotland) This complicates what is otherwise a story of a couple’s collaborative rise within the porn industry, and the depiction of forbidden fantasies, with real-world concerns around consent This recording, the third in the series of Beethoven piano sonatas, comprises four works from three different periods of the composer’s life. As with the two previous recordings, there was no particular plan governing their being put together, other than the inclusion of one very famous sonata (in this case the ‘Moonlight’) with others that are less often heard. The Op. 26 Sonata contains a funeral march; the Op. 10 No. 2 is a concise masterpiece of humour in music; the two movements of Op. 90 are said to be depictions of speech and song, with the second of the two sounding a lot like Schubert. Angela Hewitt’s Beethoven is like no one else’s. The rip-roaring finale of the “Moonlight” encapsulates the textural and dynamic subtleties with which this disc abounds.” (International Piano Magazine)

It was way more hardcore than all those extreme physical acts,” White told The Post. “Delving into your emotionality and opening yourself up like that. At the end of the scene, I cried, it was so emotionally touching.” Defying convention paid off with fans and critics. The 2017 film, according to White, was the best-selling of her career. “Angela 3” also scored six Adult Video News awards— the Oscars of porn — with White and Ferrara taking home “best boy/girl sex scene.” Arrange the 10cm/4in rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between each one. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the pastry rounds with beaten egg.Married couples and longterm committed partners working together, or parallel to each other, within the mainstream adult industry are not at all unusual. Neither is off-camera monogamy. Kross says it is “super common,” even a “norm,” within the industry. What makes Kross and Ferrara unique is a combination of the frequency of their work together, their roles on either side of the camera, and the power dynamics in those positions, as well as the degree of their professional success. In many ways, their arrangement reflects the labor of sex work: In the context of porn, Kross doesn’t perceive Ferrara having sex with other women as a threat, because it is contained within a professionally negotiated scene. None of this is to suggest that Kross and Ferrara’s arrangement is simple or one-dimensional. “There is definitely a mess of complexity surrounding a relationship like this and while I’d argue it’s working, I would never argue it’s been easy,” Kross says. “I don’t think relationships are easy once you get past the infatuation phase. There have been jealousies, pettinesses, betrayals, fights, distrust—all of it.” Sex on a porn set is work, it’s more often than not a fully contained, six-sided box of passion, and yet she says “there are more reasons to transgress and more opportunities to do so” in their line of work. These transgressions, though, don’t necessarily spell disaster in the same way they might for “that more normal monogamous relationship we’re comparing against,” she adds. “There is definitely a mess of complexity surrounding a relationship like this and while I’d argue it’s working I would never argue it’s been easy” After 15 years as a top porn actress, Angela White’s crowning achievement was showing what happens after sex. XCritic.com porn reviewer James Sharp isn’t even a fan of “gonzo porn” — the storyless genre “Angela 3” fits within. He and his wife prefer the kind of plot-heavy epics that America’s best-known porn star, Stormy Daniels, directs. But White and Ferrara’s all-in performance stunned them. AGW Entertainment White has starred in over 300 scenes and remains one of the most sought-after female performers in the porn industry. She also runs her own production company, AGW Entertainment, and is so well known in her homeland of Australia that she ran for office as a candidate for the Australian Sex Party in 2010.
