Victoria Vertuga ( born in Los Angeles, California, US) is American writer, director, producer and model. She attended the University of Southern California where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Music Industry and minors in Business, Communications, and Theatre. She worked on the business side of entertainment before deciding to follow her heart and pursue a career in front of the camera. She's been featured in national commercials for many major brands including Gap, Budweiser, and Geico. Her first major television appearance came on the long running soap opera "Days of Our Lives" and was quickly followed by a guest appearance in Dexter. Shockingly unfulfilled by playing endless variations of "hot blonde," "dumb blonde" and "hot, dumb blonde" she branched out into writing, directing, and producing. Her pilot scripts "Tithes" and "The Other City" have been semifinalists in multiple screenwriting competitions including the highly competitive Austin Film Festival. DisGraced, a darkly comedic web series, made its festival premiere in spring of 2021 at the Women's Comedy Film Festival. It has since played at over 45 film festivals, garnering over 20 award nominations and 10 wins, including multiple Best Comedy and Best Actress wins. Her directorial debut "Lexi," which she also wrote and stars in, was released in fall 2022. She wrote the script, directed it and starren in it fully naked! she is natural blonde, but died her hair for roles. ON HER NUDE ROLE: THR: You had a pretty brave nude scene in the film. What was that like, and was it easier or harder being the director of the scene as well?nnVV: I've always been super comfortable with nudity. Really and truly. I'd be naked all the time if I could. It's an ongoing joke with my family like, oh Vic has to put pants on...she hates that. But for me, in terms of having nudity in film, I think it's really important to have non sexualized nudity for women. It's so common for women to always be naked in a very sexualized manner, you know, just think of any Game of Thrones scene where the girl seductively drops her dress. LOL So I like to subvert that and show nudity in a less sexualized context. In the scene in Lexi, it's all about her crticizing her own body, kind of showing us that despite the persona she displays to her followers she still has tons of insecurities like the rest of us. There's also, obviously, something super vulnerable about nudity so I wanted to have it through that lens- of showing us her vulnerability and her insecurities and have it be a non sexualized type of nudity.
