ABOUT RACHEL STEELE:
With two decades of experience in the film industry, Rachel Steele has established herself as a multi-talented force: as the CEO of Red MILF Productions, Steele has excelled in various roles including actress, producer, writer, director, set designer, costumer and makeup artist, all while building her career from the ground up.
Steele’s entry into the industry was serendipitous; a wet t-shirt picture entered into a hot wife contest by her late husband, Frank Steele, led to her winning and subsequently discovering her passion for webcamming and fetish content creation.
Steele is the first woman to produce specialty taboo films following the artistry of Kay Parker, and she is recognized as the very first taboo/fetish MILF on the internet, beginning her journey in 2006. Building her reputation by working with fetish producers in Tampa, Steele launched her Clips4Sale store in 2007 and a wildly-viral series, Jack, I Am Your Step-Mother!, securing her top-ranking status on the C4S clip charts for over a decade.
Taking a hiatus from the business following the passing of her husband, Steele retreated to her home state of Maine. Seven years later, she found love again with a fan from Turkey, who now assists her as a content manager – and sometime co-star.
In 2024, Steele returned to mainstream filmmaking, working with major production companies like Bang Bros, My Pervy Family, and Filthy Kings, marking her first mainstream work in a decade. From overcoming family-, domestic- and substance abuse to supporting her family through achieving her goals as a performer and artist, Steele looks forward to a bright future with upcoming projects that include a book and a film about her journey from exploitation to personal success and fulfillment.
