"Meet May Karasun, whose acting career, though short-lived, left an indelible mark. Born into the entertainment industry as a model, May's acting stint spanned merely three years and three films. Her debut performance came in the made-for-cable film 'Lake Consequence' (1993), where she played a seductive gardener entangled in a torrid affair with a restless housewife, portrayed by Joan Severance. Billy Zane co-starred in this steamy drama. May's brazen and uninhibited portrayal earned her several full-frontal scenes, including skinny-dipping sequences, and intimate moments with both Severance and Zane. The film offered ample glimpses of May's assets, leaving little to the imagination.

Her subsequent role was in the erotic thriller 'Secret Games 3' (1994), where she played yet another dissatisfied housewife who finds solace working at a brothel. Once again, May's performance was marked by her willingness to bare all, with explicit scenes revealing her most intimate areas.

After appearing in an episode of 'The Red Shoe Diaries' in 1995, May retreated from acting altogether, much to the disappointment of her admirers who hoped for more of her risqué performances. Though she hasn't returned to the screen since, fans can only hope that one day May Karasun will resurface, perhaps offering another glimpse of her famous curves."
