Morgan Dayne who was the first ever contract star for Cezar Capone has left the studio who gave her, her start and now signed an exclusive contract with heavy weights Digital Playground. Morgan Dayne also changed her name to Rio Valentine as it seems Cezar Capone owns the right to her other name (Morgan Dayne) and their parting of ways wasn’t exactly amicable.

Morgan Dayne’s first movie for Cezar Capone was called Morgan Dayne’s Deviant and it was a best seller for the first few months of its release.  It was not only a huge fan favorite but also got a lot of critical acclaim.

Morgan Dayne who now goes by Rio Valentine also has a new MySpace page and has setup a Twitter account. Her MySpace page is www.MySpace.com/RioValentine and her official Twitter page is www.Twitter.com/RioValentine

Rio Valentine had this to say about working with Digital Playground … “Shooting with Digital Playground has been a Dream of Mine since I first heard of them, and to date one of the best experiences in my life, there One of the best Adult Companies in the World,and Totally Make you feel Like you belong. Ive worked for other companies before and none could even being to amount to what Digital Playground is.”

With the help of her new contract company Morgan Dayne, who is now Rio Valentine (who as it turns out got the idea for her first name from the Duran Duran song called Rio) is helping her create a new official website and it will eventually be located at www.RioValentine.com.

I found some great photos of Morgan Dayne that I thought you might enjoy.
