What DOES bother me is that she appears in a very explicit porn film where she plays the part of a girl that is the victim of a graphically sadistic sexual encounter. I don't know the title of the flick, but parts of it were aired on CNN the evening of July 9 (the parts they could show, anyway). This type of stuff doesn't do anyone any good (except porn producers). And when the actor or actress involved is a role model (on false pretense) I can see how it could do great harm. -- Ned Robie
