Katalin Vad, better known by her porn star name Michelle Wild was born in Sátoraljaújhely, Hungary. She is a former porn actress who worked primarily for Private Media Group and LUXx Video.

She graduated from the Kossuth Lajos Gimnázium high school in 1999. For her first job she worked as a phone sex operator during the day and an exotic dancer in a club by night. Shortly after these jobs Michelle got herself into the adult film business at tender the age of 20.

Wild’s first porn movie was ‘Sex Opera’, which was filmed in 2001 for Private Media Group. She subsequently worked frequently with Private and the director István Kovács making such films as ‘Brides & Bitches’ and ‘The Sex Secrets of the Paparazzi’ for example. She was also very fortuitous to be able to work with such well-known adult film directors as John Leslie and Rocco Siffredi. She starred in approximately 100 adult films in her career spanning from 2001-2005 during which she was very popular in mainstream media in Hungary and adult media in the rest of the world.

At the 2003 Brussels Erotic Festival she won a best actress award and a best supporting actress award at the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival in the same year. In 2004, she won an AVN Award for her performance in the John Leslie's production Crack Her Jack 1.

After giving birth to her baby daughter Málna Vad Horváth in 2004, she retired from the adult business and received a Lifetime Achievement Award in the third Hungarian adult Oscars ceremony. The next year she joined the cast of a successful hospital-themed daily soap opera ‘Good times, Bad times’ on Hungary's TV2. What we love most about Michelle Wild is her incredible natural beauty and her surprising and exceptional intelligence. She actually had a regular insightful column in FHM where she posed also of course.
