Maitland Ward to Reunite with 'White Chicks' Co-Star Anne Dudek at Garden State Comic Fest

originally published: 05/21/2025


(WEST ORANGE, NJ) -- Maitland Ward is set to reunite with her White Chicks co-star Anne Dudek at Garden State Comic Fest, taking place June 28-29, 2025 at the Codey Arena in West Orange, New Jersey.

Ward and Dudek, who played the infamous Vandergeld sisters in the iconic 2004 cult comedy, will reunite for the first time since the film’s release - marking only the second public reunion of any White Chickscast members in two decades. With White Chicks 2 slated to enter pre-production in 2026 with the full cast returning, excitement is already building, and the duo will offer photo ops with fans dressed as their characters throughout the two-day event.

“I’m so happy that Anne is joining me at this year’s Garden State Comic Fest!” enthused Ward of the in-demand actress, well-known for her work in Mad Men, Big LoveThe Flash, Psych, Covert Affairs and House. “It’s going to be so much fun to reconnect with her and meet the fans who still quote the movie and love those characters. This reunion is long overdue, and I can’t wait.”

Tickets and event details are available at GardenStateComicFest.com, and fans can read more about Ward’s appearance here.

Southern California-born and bred Maitland Ward has quickly become one of the biggest stars in adult entertainment, after an-already successful career as an American model, actress and cosplay personality. After finding fame in the ‘90s on CBS soap The Bold and the Beautiful and smash ABC sitcom Boy Meets World, as well as a plum role in 2004’s cult classic White Chicks, Ward decided to shake things up with racy social media content, sexy cosplay and appearing at fan conventions before making the leap into adult film in 2019.

The statuesque (5’10”) all-natural redhead is unique in that not only is she beautiful and built for the adult biz, Ward’s talent as an actress means she can also carry dramatic and comedic scenes with ease. Her playful energy, professionalism and open sexuality earned her an exclusive performance contract with Vixen Media Group and the famous face of the brand’s blockbuster studio, Deeper. Since 2020, Ward has earned a variety of adult industry accolades.

Ward’s recent mainstream endeavors include starring and co-producing a TV series, The Big Time, taking on a lead role in psychological thriller Just for You and releasing an eye-popping no-holds-barred memoir about her wild life in the entertainment biz, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood (which won a ’23 AVN Award for the aforementioned Mainstream Venture of the Year and an esteemed Kirkus Star for Excellence).
