As Peter Cushing was to Hammer Horror, Monique Parent is to skinsational skinema--specifically, a fine acting presence who's believable as both a classy businesswoman and a nude maid. This riveting redhead first caught Mr. Skin's eye with some Sapphic shenanigans in Secret Games (1991). She was just getting warmed up while getting us overheated, though. Monique's got a throbbing softcore portfolio, including bondage with Kate Vernon in Dangerous Touch (1993), shacking up with Tane McClure in Stripshow (1995), and (reportedly real) mutual masturbation with Jennifer Burton in Play Time (1994). The unpredictable Monique has also recently taken to billing herself as "Scarlet Johansing"--which is a puzzling development, since you'd more likely expect that from some porn star following in the footsteps of Dru Berrymore.
