Maitland Ward Wins 'Best Actress' From 2021 XRCO Awards

LOS ANGELES — Maitland Ward has earned “Best Actress” honors from the 2021 XRCO Awards for her performance in Deeper’s feature, "Muse."

Ward’s "no-nonsense portrayal of a sex worker-turned-sexuality professor with a taste for dominance and dangerous encounters, not only received wide critical acclaim,” a rep said, including a 2021 XBIZ Award, "but also reignited a new wave of unbridled fan worship that first took hold with the flame-haired star’s breakout debut in 2019’s erotic masterwork ‘Drive.’”

The laurel is Ward's first XRCO recognition.

"Thank you so much to XRCO for this tremendous honor; to be recognized in this way is so special,” she said. “‘Muse’ is such a special project — truly one of a kind — and one that challenged me as a performer and an actress. It is a true marriage between porn and mainstream film.”

A full list of winners can be found here; find the XRCO Awards on Twitter.
