Monique Covét (born 14 July 1976 in Budapest, Hungary) is a Hungarian pornographic actress and fetish model. She rose to prominence from 1998 to 2001 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).

Covet effectively retired from adult movies by 2004. She suffered a serious horse riding injury in 2005 which left her hospitalised for two years.

Monique Covet still maintains close links with the adult sex industry. She continues to make frequent public appearances in the media, in clubs and at private functions. She performs occasionally in front of the camera but these appearances are predominantly in short clips and softcore videos. She travels widely in Europe and anywhere else in the world where work or love of travel and her fans leads her. She is particularly active in Italy, Hungary and Ireland, all of which she claims a special connection and affinity to.

In November 2015 The Private Media Group celebrated their 50th Anniversary by releasing the film Best of Private 50th Anniversary. In the film they acknowledged Monique Covet's career by singling her out as one of their five top legendary actresses scanning 50 years in the adult sex publishing industry.

Personal life

Covét has stated that she is bisexual.[2]

She was awarded a diploma in fashion from the Accademia del Lusso School of Fashion and Design in Rome in December 2015. She is currently pursuing a career in the fashion industry.
