Monique began working as a professional model at the age of 16 posing for local advertisements in her hometown of Budapest and at various studios in Germany, where she lived for eight years. She eventually progressed to topless and finally nude modeling. During that time she had left high school and studied marketing.

By her own account, she started her career in the world of hardcore porn almost by accident. After arriving in Paris for what she believed was another series of routine modeling shoots, her agent there recommended her for a Private Media casting session where she met French hardcore director and actor, Pierre Woodman. "They offered me a lead role right away as they said I had star quality," she said. "I am the kind of person who tries everything once. Everyone was so kind to me. I thought that if this is the situation, why not try it?"


In both her personal and professional life, Monique Covét is an outspoken and avid devotee of the BDSM and kink-fetish subculture. In recent years she has been active running her own hardcore production company, the Monique Covét Group, and hosting weekly live sex shows at the Clan Restaurant in Budapest. She continues to make numerous public appearances where she meets with her fans from all over Europe and has said that she may even perform in front of the camera again one day.
