Career
Her first adult film, Sex Opera, was shot in 2001, and she subsequently worked repeatedly with the same company, Private Media Group, and the director Kovi, producing such adult films as Brides & Bitches and The Sex Secrets of the Paparazzi. She has also worked with such prominent porn directors as John Leslie (Crack Her Jack 1) and Rocco Siffredi (Animal Trainer 5).
In 2003, Private produced a semi-documentary-style adult film entitled The Private Life of Michelle Wild. The film featured snippets of Wild speaking about her desires, interspersed with scenes from her previous films.
She had a regular column in the men's magazine FHM and co-hosted a late night radio talk show. She met her future husband, a cocktail bartender, when he was a guest on her radio show.[http://www.mediainfo.hu/hirek/article.php?id=13939 Megújult az FHM] {{in lang|hu}}
She played "Ivett Janovics", a nurse in a hospital-themed daily soap opera called Jóban Rosszban ("Good Times, Bad Times") on Hungary's TV2.[http://www.origo.hu/teve/20050224michelle.html?spec=ok& origo.hu: Michelle Wild a Jóban Rosszban csapatában] {{in lang|hu}}{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446224/ |title=For Better or Worse|website=IMDb |accessdate=1 May 2014}}
Since her retirement from the adult business and the birth of her daughter, she has said, in several interviews in Hungary, that she has completely changed and, although she does not deny her past, she would not take the porn actress road again.{{cite news|first=Kánya|last=Andrea|url=http://www.hirextra.hu/hirek/article.php?menu_id=2&article_id=7278 |title=Vad Kati kézimunkázott, leápolt, most csak ápol |work=Hírextra|language=Hungarian|date=29 March 2007|accessdate=3 June 2009|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090625143405/http://hirextra.hu/hirek/article.php?menu_id=2 |archivedate=25 June 2009}}
In 2009, she appeared in the documentary The Outsiders, which looks at the artists who "challenge the extremes of sexuality in art".{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1330047/ |title=The Outsiders|website=IMDb |date=11 February 2009|accessdate=1 May 2014}}
