(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Vivid Entertainment has announced that Hanna Hilton, a voluptuous 5'9'' blue-eyed blonde Indiana beauty, will be the newest Vivid Girl, a member of the elite group of contract actresses who make erotic movies exclusively for the world's leading adult film company.

The 23-year-old Ms Hilton – who has never before made an explicit movie – says her life was going along pretty much as everyone expected it would until she was approached by a photographer who was taken by her stunning and natural 34DD breast size and good looks. While she had childhood dreams of being a model and acting in movies, she was too shy to tell anyone about it.

A cheerleader in high school who worked part time in a Dairy Queen in her hometown of Brookville, IN, she moved from job to job after graduation. But her life changed forever when she said yes to the photographer who had taken photos of her senior class and now wanted her to pose in a bikini and lingerie. Those photos, showing off her curvaceous body, wound up on a modeling website and the next thing she knew, Hanna had an agent and she was on a plane to Los Angeles, where she met top men's magazine photographers.

Steven Hicks was one of the photographers Ms Hilton met on her very first day in L.A. He submitted her test shots to Penthouse magazine, and she became Penthouse Pet of the Month for December 2006.

''I guess you could say that I had led a sheltered life up until recently,'' Ms. Hilton says. ''My new career seems to have taken off at jet speed and now signing with Vivid is so amazing. They treat me so well that it's a real confidence builder. Now that I have experience being nude before the still cameras I can't wait to shoot my first movie.''

''I've always been a movie fan. Watching them is what I do to relax,'' says Ms Hilton. ''I have started to go to clubs and parties for business, but when I'm not working, I'm sort of a hermit. I'll watch a movie, walk and listen to music on my iPod or do some scrapbooking to document my life, which has gotten a lot more exciting. The work side of my life is definitely more glamorous now than when I was working in the DQ.''

Ms Hilton has been living in Houston and she says she loves the Texas lifestyle. She plans to split her time between Houston and L.A. For the near future. Ms. Hilton's first title for Vivid is ''Meggan and Hanna Love Manuel'' and it will be released this summer.
