Sexy Sadie Alexandru is a New York City native with voluminous brown hair and captivating big eyes. You might recognize her as Scarlett, the seductive secretary whose form-fitting retro attire barely contained her assets on AMC's Mad Men (2012-2013). However, before she enchanted primetime audiences with a 1960s dictaphone, Sadie made appearances in daytime soap operas All My Children (1999) and As the World Turns (2002). After a six-year hiatus from television, Sadie returned to grace ABC's sitcom Carpoolers (2008), this time portraying an alluring jogger. This brunette bombshell has also made her mark on both the big screen and indie films, appearing in notable productions such as the sci-fi action movie Gamer (2009), the female boxing drama Bare Knuckles (2010), and the mystery thriller Broken Horses (2015). But at E4U Central, we're particularly fond of her performance in the Canadian comedy Act Naturally (2011), where Sadie made her nude movie debut. Set within a nudist colony, Ms. Alexandru bared all, showcasing her breasts, buttocks, and a hint of pubic hair with total confidence – a scene that earned the film Best Narrative at the Los Angeles United Film Festival. Subsequently, Sadie repeated her naturist streak in Skinemax's Femme Fatales (2012).
