Root, the adult film director who she worked with exclusively through her entire 16-month adult film career.[2] During this time, she called herself "Ally Mac Tyana", which was a play on the name Ally McBeal.[1] She appeared in such adult videos as Ally, French Beauty and Xperiment, and on Root's website Explicite.com.
