When it comes to adult film superstars Francesca Le always comes out on top! A highly accomplished performer, director, producer and AVN Hall Of Fame Inductee, Francesca Le has been working within the adult entertainment industry for over 25 years and has co-owned an ever-expanding pornographic production company with her husband Mark Wood since 2002.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, before Francesca Le became an award-winning adult film star she used to work as a stripper at local LA nightclubs and performed for bachelor parties. Francesca Le discovered her potential as a porn star after agreeing to film some bondage-themed videos with one of her fellow erotic dancers. As Francesca Le explained within her May 2016 AVN interview;
“I just kind of fell into it, because me and my friend used to do bachelor parties, and we weren’t caring to do that anymore, and she knew a girl that did bondage videos, and said, ‘Let’s do some bondage videos,’ and I said, ‘That sounds like fun.’ We went in and met the only agent at that time, Jim South at World Modelling, and we went in saying we only wanted to do bondage movies and girl/girl videos, and of course, Legend at the time came to me with the leading role in Cockateer 2, which was an AVN Award-winning movie. They wanted me to do two scenes and be the lead in the feature, and that I had to do boy/girl and girl/girl, and I said I’d do it. Actually, I told them ‘I’m not sure I can really do it because I don’t know if I can have sex with a guy on camera; could you send me to somebody more amateur to make sure I can do it, because I don’t want to waste everybody’s time and money.’ He said, ‘Sure, I have this guy Paul Little [now Max Hardcore], him and his brother are shooting just amateur stuff, so why don’t you go over there and see if you can work with him?’…So that was my actual very first scene, and I figured, ‘If I can have sex with Max Hardcore, I can have sex with anybody; I’ll take the job'”.

Francesca Le : Adult Film Career (1990 – 1994) & Industry Hiatus (1994 – 2002)
Francesca Le began filming bondage themed videos and erotic wrestling featurettes in 1990 alongside some of her friends and fellow erotic dancers. However, Francesca Le took centre stage in 1992 when she filmed her first ever hardcore sex scenes with Paul Little, aka Max Hardcore, for the big budget feature release The Anal Adventures of Max Hardcore 3: Between The Lines.
For the next two years Francesca Le featured within a wide range of pornographic productions for Elegant Angel, Anabolic Video, Bon Vue Enterprises, Vivid, VCA, Pleasure Productions, Rosebud, Evil Angel, Zane Entertainment Group, Legend Video and Forbidden Films. Francesca Le’s most successful sex scenes during these early years were filmed for the VCA feature release New Wave Hookers 3. Directed by Gregory Dark, New Wave Hookers 3 was a smash-hit which won “Best Renting Tape of the Year” at the 1993 AVN Awards and Francesca’s group sex scene with Crystal Wilder, Lacy Rose, Tiffany Million, Rocco Siffredi and Jon Dough won the 1993 AVN Award for “Best Group Sex Scene: Film”.
In late 1994 Francesca Le decided to retire from performing in hardcore sex scenes but still remained an influential figure within the adult entertainment industry. Although she no longer appeared within adult film feature releases, Francesca Le continued to perform as an erotic dancer in LA strip clubs as well as posing for nude modelling shoots and participating in bondage-themed videos and erotic wrestling featurettes. As Francesca Le puts it in her own words;
“I took a break for ten years, but I wasn’t out of the business. I was house-dancing at the strip clubs around L.A.; I still did wrestling videos, bondage videos—I did everything but hardcore, so I was still shooting; I just wasn’t doing hardcore, so I was still technically in the business”.

In 2000 Francesca Le started working within the sales department of the start-up pornographic production company Extreme Associates. It was here that Francesca Le met her future husband and business partner Mark Wood who at that time was working for Extreme Associates as a male porn star. Francesca Le and Mark soon began dating and the pair have been together ever since!
Francesca and Mark have been married since 2001 and are regarded as one of the adult entertainment industry’s most influential couples. When Francesca Le was asked during her October 2013 Adult DVD Talk interview about what makes their marriage and professional partnership work so well, Francesca Le divulged that;
“I met Mark when I was working in sales for a porn company in 2000. I was also producing a bondage line. He was a performer for the same company and that’s how we met…We’ve been married 12 years and I don’t know. I guess because we have sex with other people. (laughs) Mark gets mad when I say that. (laughs)…People ask us all the time, other couples or other performers, how do you guys do it? We’re best friends, we do everything together. We work together, we’re always together. We actually enjoy each other’s company, we’re best friends, we’re partners, we’re husband and wife… When we got together, I was 30 already, it wasn’t my first run in porn. I had done all my crazy shit, I was single, I partied, I fucked everyone I wanted to. I was in my 20s when I first did porn like you were supposed to do it. (laughs) He didn’t get the crazy Francesca. He got the wonderful settled down one. I already knew what porn was about. I don’t get jealous, he doesn’t get jealous. We shoot each other, that’s always the way it’s been”.
Francesca Le : LeWood Productions & Career Comeback (2002 – present)
Not only did Francesca Le and Mark begin dating in 2000 but they also started planning the launch of their very own pornographic production company. By combining their extensive career experiences, industry connections and exclusive adult film insights, Francesca Le and Mark formed LeWood Productions in 2002. Francesca Le discussed within her 2016 AVN interview that she decided to coincide her triumphant return to filming hardcore sex scenes with the launch of her and Mark’s new production company;
“I really didn’t have any interest in being in front of the camera again and performing, but we talked about it and thought it would be a really cool idea to have our own production company, since I had been in the business so long and knew so much about it, and he was directing and shooting camera and being talent, and we decided that with our experience, we could have a kick-ass production company, so we started LeWood Productions in 2002. As part of our marketing campaign, I decided to come back and shoot again, and so that way, we launched LeWood Productions with my comeback. I think in a couple of months we’ll have 200 titles”.
Initially distributed by Exquisite Multimedia, then Juicy Entertainment, and ultimately Evil Angel from 2012 onwards, Francesca Le has performed within, directed and produced over 200 LeWood Productions titles to date that cover all manner of adult film genres; from MILF-themed feature releases, fetish content and BDSM clips to boy/girl, girl/girl, group, solo and interracial DVD franchises. You name it, they’ve filmed it!
Joining forces with Evil Angel in 2012 has enabled Francesca Le and Mark to film and distribute a multitude of femdom, fetish and BDSM content via the fetish porn site Kink.com. Francesca Le and Mark have since launched multiple business ventures throughout their respective adult film careers such as signing with Rising Star PR in 2009 and launching the online porn portal fmcontent.com which Francesca described within an April 2009 AVN press release as;
“With fmcontent.com, we’ve decided to help webmasters create sites with our quality adult product…We provide hardcore scenes from our extensive catalogue with the hottest youngest stars and the future stars of tomorrow. We have all different kind of niches – teen, Asian, MILF, big tit, interracial and more. There are about 360 scenes on the site”.

Alongside her friend and fellow porn star Carmen Valentina, Francesca Le was one of the first performers to perform erotic wrestling spectacles at adult film conventions and, as such, she continues to film all manner of raunchy wrestling themed shoots for Kink.com as part of their Ultimate Surrender and TS Pussy Hunters online franchises. Consequently, in addition to her on-screen performances and directing projects, Francesca Le continues to attend adult film conventions across the nation in order to meet and greet her fans, pose for photographs and then frolic for a few rounds with her friends, fans and fellow performers! As Francesca Le enthusiastically explained via a 2013 AVN interview whilst promoting an upcoming three-day wrestling/catfight exhibition at Adultcon in Los Angeles;
“Carmen & I were the first girls to ever do wrestling at a porn convention…People thought we were nuts to do something so physical at a signing. Fan literally went nuts for it and waited for over an hour for a chance to get on the mat. There may now be imitators out there but we don’t actually mind throwing each other around for the enjoyment of the fans…We asked some of the other ‘superstars’ in our booth to get on the mat…. but they didn’t want to risk a beatdown or to smear their makeup ….. cowards! (hehe). You never know what is going to happen… come down to the convention center and get grappled by us. You might want to wear a cup for protection. lol”.

Francesca Le : Upcoming Projects & Secret To Success
As matters stand, Francesca Le continues to enjoy the fruits of her labour; directing, producing and performing within a broad spectrum of solo, boy/girl, girl/girl, group, BDSM, fetish and gonzo releases. Francesca Le loves the freedom of being able to shoot and star within all manner of DVD feature releases and online sex scenes of her choosing, as well as taking great pride in nurturing the careers of aspiring female performers. As Francesca Le herself stated within her 2016 AVN interview;
“I still really enjoy it. I still enjoy shooting the new girls and seeing what they’re going to accomplish, taking them from their first scenes in L.A. to seeing them becoming Best New Starlet. It’s great doing that. For now, I continue to shoot until I don’t enjoy it anymore, I guess. … I’m really lucky because sometimes I want to be in front of the camera and I can shoot a bunch of scenes—I just shot Francesca Lé Loves Young Boys, and I did all the scenes in my movie. I really had a good time. I worked with all brand-new guys I hadn’t worked with before: Alex Jones, Jessy Jones, Brad Knight and Logan Pierce. So I’m lucky: when I want to be in front of the camera, I can, and then when I get tired of it, I go back behind the camera and shoot my movies and direct, so I’m very blessed with that”.

When asked about the secret to her adult film success and impressive career longevity within her 2016 AVN interview, Francesca Le attributed her significant portfolio of adult entertainment industry achievements to hard work, ambition and adaptability;
“I think that you should be able to adapt in the business. There’s always going to be something else you can be doing besides being in front of the camera. I’m lucky that Mark was able to teach me how to shoot camera. I shoot my own stills, I shoot camera, I do post-production work, I direct, and in 2000 I was doing sales. I’ve also worked in the JM Productions offices as an office manager for many years; I ran JM Productions’ mail-order company for many years, so I’ve done, I think, all—besides editing, which I don’t really want to do, I’ve done everything I can to learn the business. I think a lot of the talent, being as they’re young, they don’t learn about the business as much as they should; not just their social media”.
