	Actors - Mary Carey

Mary Carey (born Mary Ellen Cook on June 15, 1980) is an American erotic actress and tongue-mostly-in-cheek politician. Her stage name comes from her passing facial resemblance to the musician Mariah Carey.

Mary Cook was born in Cleveland, Ohio and moved to Florida when she was seven, and studied ballet and dance until she was 19 years old. She graduated in 1998 from the Pine Crest School, a Fort Lauderdale private preparatory school (alma mater of Kelsey Grammer and Wayne Huizenga). At 19, she decided to try to join her college dance team. After being part of the college dance team for a year, she tried stripping.

She loved being naked so much that she began thinking about becoming a featured adult entertainer. Shortly thereafter, she became an established erotic actress. She has been in numerous adult magazines, adult TV shows, adult internet sites, and adult movies. Her years of ballet have paid off: Not only can she perform well with stage presence and flexibility, but she can dance. She also claims to have never received breast implants and openly discourages their use.

During the 2003 California recall, she was an independent candidate, placing tenth in a field of 135 candidates. She ran on a ten (later expanded to eleven) point platform, promising to:

#Legalize same-sex marriage #Tax breast implants #Make lap-dances tax deductible #Wire the California Governor's Mansion with live web-cams #Create a "Porn for Pistols" program to reduce the number of handguns #Be a goodwill ambassador to attract business to the state #Make those drawing unemployment insurance do jury duty for their pay #Fight the attacks on the porn industry by John Ashcroft and the U.S. Department of Justice #Allow bars to stay open until 4:00 A.M. #Address the AIDS epidemic

In April 2005, she was arrested in connection with a Lakewood, Washington cabaret sting operation. She subsequently made a plea agreement and received a 19-month sentence, which was suspended pending her lack of legal problems for one year.

In December 2005, Mary Carey was named “2005 Bimbo of the Year” by the conservative WorldNetDaily.com .

Political ambitions

In June 2005, Carey announced her bid for Lieutenant Governor of California as an Independent in 2006. She also attended a GOP fund-raiser with the president of the company that produces her porn videos and announced that she is a Republican. Given her previous political record, however, it remains to be seen if she (or Californians) will take her candidacy seriously (it is not likely that she takes it seriously herself). She would not be the first adult actress to win public office if her future bids are successful, as Italian porn-star Cicciolina was elected to the Italian Parliament. She maintained on the FOX News Channel on the afternoon of March 16, 2006 that her porno films are not a negative to her film career, and maybe are even a positive, for the following reasons. She implied that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Governor Reagan were helped in their political campaigns by their film careers (a claim many make). Then she implied that they did so in films about "by killing people" in films, in the case of Schwarzenegger, and "by doing bad things" in his films in the case of Reagan (but Carey did not have an instance of Reagan's films to cite here--but recall that in the film American Beauty, there is a clip of Reagan in a military film, and this could be associated with Reagan's military activities he initiated when he was President , and thus could be considered a military ideology film). Carey said on the 16th that, on the other hand, her films are not about kiling people, but are about "love," where she implied that this makes her more credible as a film-star-governor than current Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Many members of the press have forecasted that she could do something inappropriate at the dinner or arrive in inappropriate attire as a publicity stunt; however, she was dressed formally for the occasion and did nothing unusual. Some, including Rev. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association, believe that her new political affiliation is an organized attempt to embarrass Republicans, by showing a porn actress in the same dining hall with President Bush and her affiliation with the Republican Party.

She has also said that she hopes to run on a major party nomination for President of the United States.
