Monique Covét (born 14 July 1976 in Budapest, Hungary) is a Hungarian pornographic actress and fetish model. From 1998 to 2001, she came to prominence as the star of several features for the Private Media Group, mainly appearing in fetish-oriented films produced by the company's subsidiary Pirate label.

Early career

By her own account, Monique Covét started her career in the world of hardcore porn almost by accident. After arriving in Paris for what she believed was another series of routine modeling shoots, her agent there recommended her for a Private Media casting session where she met French hardcore director and actor, Pierre Woodman. "They offered me a lead role right away as they said I had star quality", she said. "I am the kind of person who tries everything once. Everyone was so kind to me. I thought that if this is the situation, why not try it?"[1]

In 1995, Covét filmed her first sex scene with Frank Versace on a boat in Sydney Harbour (it is featured on the compilation Private Video Magazine 21). Between 1995 and 1998, Covét lived in Germany and worked under contract for the German-based company Helen Duval. Helen Duval the production company was originally set up between its namesake, Dutch porn star Helen Duval, and German producer Oliver Chezc. Things eventually went sour between star and producer, and Duval and Chezc parted ways in 1995. At this time, Monique Covét became Duval's replacement and the company continued making movies labelled Helen Duval. As a result, Covét briefly became known as Helen Duval even though she never actually called herself that. Covét's split with the company in 1998 was reputedly not a good one, and a third actress called Dru Berrymore took over the role of Helen Duval shortly after.

In 1998, Monique Covét was chosen as the featured star for the first movie of Private Media Group's Pirate Video Deluxe series Xtreme Desires; she appears in three of five scenes. After completing the film, she became the first female performer to sign an exclusive contract with Private.

Pirate Video Deluxe 1: Xtreme Desires also marked the first of her several notable collaborations with London-based hardcore fetish filmmaker Tanya Hyde, including Pirate Video Deluxe 5: Tanya Hyde's Twisted Dreams (1999), Pirate Video Deluxe 7: Tanya Hyde's London Calling (2000), Pirate Video Deluxe 10: Hell, Whores and High Heels (2000) and Pirate Video Deluxe 13: Tanya Hyde's Rubberfuckers Rule (2000).

Later career and life after Private

After leaving Private in 2001, Covét retired for a year to devote herself to gymnastics, horses and obtaining a driver's license. In 2003 she signed a contract with Boss Films and appeared in her first movie for the company, Shining Sex, that same year. By 2004, Monique Covét had effectively retired from adult movies.

In recent years, she had been active running her own hardcore production company, the Monique Covét Group, and hosting weekly live sex shows at the Clan Restaurant in Budapest. She continues to make numerous public appearances where she meets with her fans from all over Europe and has said that she may even perform in front of the camera again one day. She has been known to make occasional hardcore appearances online.[1]

Personal life

Covét has stated that she is bisexual.[2]
