Career

Ashley Madison’s interest in becoming an actress was supported by her then-boyfriend James Woods, and he successfully helped her navigate the rocky paths of entertainment industry in the beginning. She made her on-screen debut in 2005 with the comedy action movie ‘The Indie Pendent’. The movie also starred Nick Ernst, Rusty Meyers, and Joy Highsmith and was directed by Kelly Schwarze. However, it performed poorly at the box office and received low ratings. In the same year, Madison starred in the Western ‘Buckaroo: The Movie’ alongside Kelly Aleccia, Rex Allen Jr., and Amy Austin. Directed by James A. Brooks, the movie was a slow hit and Madison received her share of publicity for her role as Jenny.

In 2006, she received her first recurring role as Brittany Forest in the crime drama series ‘Shark’. She appeared in the episodes titled ‘Dial M for Monica’ in 2006 and ‘Blind Trust’ in 2007. The series was a popular affair, and her off-screen chemistry with the lead James Woods only added to the spark. She also starred as Tiffany in the ‘Aquamom’ episode of the popular comedy drama ‘Entourage’. Her role in ‘Entourage’ turned out to be the biggest hit of her career, and she continues to be associated with it.

Despite a steady and strong start, Madison’s lack of consistency put a dent in her work. She wasn’t offered many roles and her on-screen appearances dwindled. For the rest of her career, she ended up starring only in minor or supporting roles. In 2007, she appeared as the sexy jogger in the movie ‘Pretty Cool Too’. In 2009, she was seen in two films ‘Miss March’ and ‘Lost Dream’. She played minor roles in both these movies. Her last credited role on the big screen was in the comedy TV series ‘This Indie Thing’ in 2011. She appeared as the rejection girl in the episode titled ‘Winners and Losers.’ Since then, Ashley has steered away from acting and has stayed off the grid. In an interview with TMZ magazine, it was revealed that Ashley has since moved to Orlando and currently works as a real-estate investor and businesswoman.

Scandals & Controversies

She further claimed that the website promoted infidelity and she was humiliated since the dating site and she shared the same names. In her claim, she expressed the need for the company to change its name. However, things took a drastic turn as they company issued a counter suit stating that they had registered the name in 2002, while Ashley only turned an actress in 2005. They demanded 1 million dollars from the actress for her attempt to accrue some goodwill and publicity to push her career. They named her suit as a public antic. Despite the public outrage, the case was settled outside the court and Ashley claimed that she successfully won. At the end of the ordeal, she commented stating that she found the morals of the website repugnant and didn’t want her name associated with it.

Woods commented that they continue to remain friends and are an important part of each other’s’ lives.
