(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- An innovator in adult entertainment for over nine years, Wicked Pictures is proud to announce that it has signed award winning porn icon Julia Ann to an exclusive contract with the company. Her debut release as a Wicked Girl, Jonathan Morgan's big-budget production of Hercules, begins filming April 8th, 2002. She is also seen regularly on Playboy TV.

Hailing from Idyllwild, California, Julia Ann has gone from being part of one of the biggest draws on the erotic dance circuit (in Blondage, with Janine) to one of the hottest stars and best-known names in the adult film industry. A striking blonde haired, blue-eyed beauty with a personality that's equally as captivating, Julia Ann has received numerous awards since starring in such groundbreaking releases as Andrew Blake's Hidden Obsessions and Les Femmes Erotique. Few actresses perform with this acclaimed starlet's enthusiasm.

While Julia's contract doesn't begin until April 1st, she's no stranger to the world of Wicked Pictures. Her credits for the company include the AVN Award-nominated Beautiful/Nasty, Wicked Whispers, Roadblock, and the upcoming new releases Turning Point and sex On Film.

Wicked President and Owner Steve Orenstein is proud to be adding this charismatic performer to his already-formidable array of contract talent, stating, we are excited to be adding Julia Ann to the company. She is a beautiful woman and already a great performer, but I believe she will surprise people even further in her upcoming movies.

For her part, Julia Ann is delighted with the arrangement as well. For the first time in my life, thanks to my relationship with Playboy and now being under contract for Wicked, I feel I've come full circle. Things couldn't be better. I can t wait to see what the future brings.
