AVN is reporting that Missy, the AVN hall of famer and one-time contract performer for Wicked, passed away approximately one month ago, but that it remained private information due to her family not wanting adult industry involvement.

According to the article, the 41-year-old star died of an accidental overdose of prescription medication. The death was not considered a suicide after an investigation.

The beautiful blonde was seen in over 350 movies during a career that spanned over five years. She was named” Best New Starlet” and “Female Performer of the Year” at the 1997 AVN Award show and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2002.

Missy had left adult in 2001 due to religious beliefs and after what she described in an open letter as a “mental breakdown.” Around the same time she also split up with then husband Mickey G.

“I adored Missy,”  Joy King, Vice-President of Wicked Pictures, told AVN. “I thought she was an angel, and we were deeply saddened by her tragic loss, everyone in the company, and our hearts went out to her family. She was very special.”
