How Sad.

Root Mean Squared said...: david cronenberg saw fit to cast her in "rabid", and that's a good enough endorsement for me.

very sad indeed.; April 13, 2009 3:56 PM
Bill said...: She was great in Rabid and maybe was one of the first cross over actresses. I saw Behind the Green Door at the now defunct Apple cinema in Seattle. The place was dark and sleazy and reeked of vileness. A perfect setting I felt.

She certainly had a charm to her and she dropped out of porn for the most part after the move from film to video.

A sweet face.; April 14, 2009 9:42 PM
Chick Young said...: Thanks Joe and Bill. I was supposed to meet her last fall and am very sad that I was unable to see her. This was at the Wasteland show in late 08'. A sweet face - that's a great way to put it Bill. So jealous that you had that great, sleazy encounter with Behind at a theater like that. I drove by places like that in Detroit in the 70s - but I was a kid, someone else was doing the driving!; April 15, 2009 7:32 PM
Sindri Gabriel said...: So rare for a pornography store to make such a successful move to the mainstream. She will be greatly missed. An elegant post of yours.; April 15, 2009 7:58 PM
Keith said...: I agree. I can't believe that she's gone.; April 21, 2009 8:33 PM
