VENICE, CA – it’s not easy to get Mark Wood to take a couple days off, but it doesn’t hurt when he’ll be accompanied by his beautiful wife (and AVN Award MILF/Cougar of the Year nominee Francesca Lé).
For a rare visit outside Porn Valley or other shooting locations, Mark will make a rare appearance in Houston along with dozens of other industry stars.
“I’m not one to seek the spotlight,” Mark says. “I know that kind of odd in an industry that’s all about self-promotion, but I guess I really am just a workingman. After the performing, shooting scenes, booking and all that, there’s hardly time for hanging out, so I’m really looking forward to Pornutopia.”
This comes on the heels of Mark no only being inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame, but also being nominated for three other awards:
Best Ethnic-Themed Release – Latin: Young Tight Latinas 17
Best Ethnic-Themed Series – Latin: Young Tight Latinas (Red Light District)
Best Young Girl Release: Don’t Let Daddy Know 7 (Red Light District)

It’s not often that Francesca Lé [pictured] gets out of town, not with her busy shooting, producing and directing schedule, yet she’s taking a few days away from her rigorous routine to attend Lone Star Pornutopia.
She won’t be alone: Her husband (and 2010 AVN Hall of Fame nominee) Mark Wood will be there, as will stars like Monique Alexander, Diamond Foxxx, Lisa Ann and Shy Love.
“This really is a rare opportunity to get out of town and meet a lot of people that I’ve never been able to meet in person before,” she said. “I love getting to know fans and I’m really glad they’ve brought Pornutopia back this year.”
The AVN Hall of Famer is up for AVN’s MILF/Cougar of the Year as well as Best Group Sex Scene for her work with Tori Black, Ben English and Anthony Rosano in TMSleaze. She has also been nominated for CAVR’s MILF of the Year.
“I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about awards,” Francesca said. “I’ve been in this business long enough to know that it’s great when you win, but the business bigger than that. I just try to give every scene my all and hope that people get off on it. It’s that simple, really.”

Along with Shy, she will be bringing Mya Luanna, Julliette Bardot, Brandy Aniston, Ginger Lynn, and Trisha Uptown. These are all performers she represents at ATM.
“I’m very happy with the roster we have now,” she said. “I’m very much looking forward to being there with my girls and getting some one-on-one time with fans.”
