Early life

Calvert was born Sarah Goldberger. She was raised in Gainesville, Florida.[1] She was raised Conservative Jewish and attended synagogue every Saturday morning until her Bat Mitzvah, after which her family switched to a Reform synagogue and began attending only on the holidays.[2] In 2012, she graduated magna cum laude from the University of Florida with a bachelor of science in film production and minors in zoology and anthropology.[5][6][7]

Career

Calvert began working as a fetish and art model in the spring of her junior year of college.[7] She chose her stage name in honor of professor Clay Calvert after taking his class on Mass Media Law as a sophomore.[8] She stated that "It felt right because really if I hadn’t taken his class, I wouldn’t be where I am right now," referring to how she learned during his class that pornography wasn't illegal as she had initially thought.[8] She also stated that the first name "Casey" was derived from the initials of her celebrity crush's children, K.C., but did not specify to whom she was referring.[7]

She entered the adult film industry on 5 November 2012.[3][7] Her first scene was for the studio SexArt.[9] Mark Spiegler is her agent, but she also does custom shoots.[10] Calvert has described her career as: "Being a porn star is just like having any other job, except you're naked on the Internet".[11]

In September 2015, Calvert was hired to write a monthly BDSM and fetish-themed column for GameLink's The Naked Truth blog, and to answer reader questions on their website.[12] She has also written about pornography for The Huffington Post.[13][14] Calvert has also tried to pursue a mainstream acting and modeling career, but potential employers have refused to hire her because of her work in porn.[15] She states that she has been recognized even while auditioning under her legal name.[15]

Personal life

Calvert identifies as a feminist.[2][4] She is married to industry director Eli Cross.[16]
