When Anna Claire Clouds arrived at Mark Spiegler’s apartment last week, she walked straight through the front door and bee-lined toward the kitchen.
Clouds had baked some homemade focaccia bread for her much-anticipated meet up with the legendary agent—but there was one problem.
“It wasn’t quite ready,” Clouds laughed, “I was like, ‘I’m sorry! I brought bread, but I want it to be warm and all the way cooked.’ I went into the kitchen and let it finish baking in his oven.”
Clearly, Clouds felt right at home.
Not just in Spiegler’s apartment that afternoon.
But with his agency overall.
In an exclusive interview late Wednesday evening, Clouds informed PornCrush that she is now a Spiegler girl. The two-time AVN Performer of the Year nominee said she was quick to accept the offer, which came after that two-hour meeting, during which Spiegler and his assistant, George Jiries, outlined their vision for her rapidly-ascending career.
“(Spiegler) has been doing it at a high level for so long,” Clouds said. “The relationships he’s formed and the respect he has from all of the top studios is unmatched. That’s something I’d like to attain, as well.
“Everything about it feels so right. It feels really good to have people who are not only invested in my career but people who are excited. From the moment they started speaking, I felt like they had a clear outlook of what we could do together.”
That’s not to say Clouds was on a wayward path before becoming a Spiegler girl. She’s scored 21 AVN nominations over the past three years, winning in 2023 for Best Three-Way Sex Scene and Best POV Sex Scene. And in January, she nabbed an XBIZ trophy for Best Sex Scene - Featurette.
Known for her sensual, seductive performance style, it’s no stretch to say that Clouds is among the top 10 performers in the industry. And many critics would place her among the top five—especially since she’s opened her backdoor for anal scenes.
Still, for all she’s accomplished, Clouds knows there is still so much more to achieve. She wants to shoot a showcase someday and possibly a gang bang and a DP.
“I want to be able to check off all of the items on my sexual bucket list with all of the best companies and talent possible,” Clouds said. “I know (Spiegler) will be able to give me that option.”
Clouds is also hoping to increase her opportunities in larger productions. She’s demonstrated impressive, natural acting abilities in vignettes for banners such as Deeper and Pure Taboo. Yet she’s been cast in a minimal number of features.
“I would love to do as much acting as possible this year,” Clouds said. “Role play is one of my kinks. So being able to do some long-winded role-play works well for me sexually, along with being in the best interests of my career. I’d really like to show my versatility.”
Spiegler said he’s been following Clouds’ career for years and has heard countless stories about her abilities as a performer. But the traits about Clouds that impress him the most have nothing to do with her physical gifts.
“She seems really bright,” Spiegler told PornCrush Thursday. “She has her shit together, and that goes a long way in this industry.
“She’s already achieved a lot of success and a certain level of fame. The key for people like that, the hard thing, is staying there. We’re going to do our best to get her the features and the biggest shoots so that her face will be out more than ever before.”
Spiegler and Jiries surely discussed some of those possibilities with Clouds during their meeting last week. By the end of the chat, only crumbs remained from Clouds’ housewarming gift, which turned out to be more sentimental than she could’ve imagined.
“My first meeting with Spiegler, and we literally broke bread together,” Clouds said. “It’s a memory I’ll never forget.”
