(WATERVILLE, ME) -- Platinum Media dusted off some old tape and announced today that they will include rare footage of Mary Carey's very first time on Camera in their upcoming release "Before they were Porn Stars".

Working as an Amateur Stripper in a Florida Club, Mary Carey was only 19 years old when she met up with one of Platinum's videographers in a hotel room to do a impromptu solo shoot.

"We never even knew what we had until a customer pointed her out two years ago" confesses Mandi Michaels, production director for Platinum Media. "We meet all kinds of down to earth girls who want to make a video for the fun of it and to earn a few bucks for college. Mary Ellen Cook fit the perfect amateur niche - She was natural, funny and even a little shy. Mary was just another model on our list, until we realized how blind we were on just what we had!"

Platinum Media originally released the footage on DVD entitled "So you want to be a Star" in 2001.

"It was really a no-brainier," continues Mandi Michaels. "We looked at this material and just knew we had to do something new with it." The 32 minute session includes a 10 minute interview where Mary talks about high school relationships, her first blowjob, her dream to get into cheerleading and dance. She also reveals her desire to get into the [porn] business and fears her family seeing this shoot.

JB Evans, director for Platinum adds "We totally forgot about this footage, but when we pulled out the tape and watched the original shoot 2 years ago, we kicked ourselves in the ass for not realizing who we had in front of our cameras."

"Considering Ms. Carey's recent political announcement, we will surely endorse Mary's campaign to the fullest on the DVD," says Platinum's CEO Scott Morgan. Slated to be released in late June, "Before they were Stars - Lost Treasures" will also include Mandi Michaels whose 1st film was nominated by AVN for best amateur series in 2006 and also features the first video performances of the new Mainstream star "Felicity".
