1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: My sex drive took over. Is that so hard for

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: you to believe? I mean, I'm good at a lot

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: of things, sex being one of them, so I think

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: I've certainly succeeded at doing that. And there's very few

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: people that have Jenna Jameson.

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 2: To do porn shoot things isn't always nice. You do

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: everything in front of a camera, and you can never

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: forget about that you're professionally in the first place. In

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: my private life, I only do those things which I

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: want to do with my partner, Racosa Frede performer.

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: Many people think porno people are so bad and that

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: professionals are so good, and most professional people that I've

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: met are pieces of shit. They're child molesteds, big bullshit people.

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: Everyone watches porn and then looks down on it.

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 4: Te t Boy, Welcome to General World.

16
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 5: Welcome back to Jena World. I'm your host, Molly Lambert.

17
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 5: This is episode four. The Valley goes Gonzo.

18
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: The moment you become a porn star, you will always

19
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: be a porn star for the rest of your life.

20
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 5: Jenna Massoli has chosen her new stage name Jenna Jamison

21
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 5: and met a modeling scout who says she can get

22
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: her into Penthouse magazine. Jenna has done one pro photoshoot before,

23
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 5: for the Biker Bible, Easy Riders magazine. On the cover

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 5: of Easy Riders, Jenna sports a long red wig with bang,

25
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 5: a velvet cross choker, a silver chain mail bra, black

26
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 5: leather short, and black final thigh high boots. She looks

27
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 5: like red Sonia. She's posing with a blonde model who

28
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 5: drapes a leg over the headlight while Jenna straddles the

29
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: wheel of a motorcycle that's been painted with flames and

30
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 5: skeleton kings. Inside are more glam shots and separate press

31
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 5: pics of Tommy Lee and Nikki six from Motley Crue

32
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 5: on motorcycles with an interview at a house in Las Vegas,

33
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 5: Jenna is modeling under her new stage name Jenna Jamison

34
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 5: at a photoshoot set up by Julia Parton. Julia directs

35
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 5: her through a range of poses, showing her how to

36
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 5: position her body so it reads on film how she

37
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: wants it to. Jenna feels herself straining to look sexy

38
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 5: and is sure it looks bad. Even though she's been

39
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: nearly nude on stage. She feels way more vulnerable and

40
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 5: exposed on camera. Then she gets a call from a

41
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: photographer named Susie Randall.

42
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 6: I try not to think about myself. Maybe I'm atrel blazer.

43
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 6: I was always looking for the best.

44
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: You outwork the.

45
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 6: Men, you out chom everybody. Susie Randall, photographer.

46
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 5: Now we must go to swinging London in the late

47
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 5: nineteen sixties, when sexual liberation came to England and pulled

48
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 5: its pantaloons down, creating Austin powers. The new sexual freedoms

49
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 5: make repressed British people very I'll just say it, howny baby.

50
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 5: Susie Randall is a London lass living hand to mouth

51
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 5: working as a nurse. She spots an ad looking for

52
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: amateur nude models and ditches nursing for what the British

53
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: called glamour modeling. She gets cast as an o pair

54
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 5: in the Eric Rohmer film Love in the Afternoon, But

55
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: French new wave movies and nude modeling don't pay well.

56
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 5: In aren't staple. There's no clear path from sexy modeling

57
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: leading into other work because Love Island hasn't been invented yet.

58
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: I go in through the back door.

59
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 6: I jump the line.

60
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: So Susie Randall decides to get behind the camera too.

61
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 5: She uses a remote control camera to take artsy pictures

62
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: of herself spread eagle and sells them to Hustler. She

63
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: becomes a talent scout for new models who takes test

64
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 5: shots of them. Her big discovery is a Norwegian model

65
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 5: named Lillian Muhler, who becomes the star music video girl

66
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 5: for Rod Stewart's disco slam hit Do You Think I'm Sexy?

67
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: And she plays the pe teacher in the Van Halen

68
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 5: video for hot Ford Teacher.

69
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 7: When I started Playboy, what I was interested in was

70
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 7: the romantic connection between the sexes rather than buddies in

71
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 7: the locker rope. A woman's input is key. If you

72
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 7: don't have that in mind, then you're going to be

73
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 7: spending a lot of time in the locker rope alone.

74
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 7: Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy magazine.

75
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: In nineteen seventy five, Susie Randall moves to la with

76
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 5: her South Africa and husband, who writes masculinist New Age

77

Speaker 5: books like The Dominant Man, The Pecking Order in Human Society,

78
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: and The Nero Prediction about ancient Roman astrology. Susie Randall

79
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 5: gets staffed as a full time photographer for Playboy, working

80
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 5: under a female editor named Marilyn mo Grabowski.

81
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 8: The plus side is I identify with some of these girls.

82
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 8: This is Miss America to a lot of girls. I

83
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 8: have a rapport with them. They know I'm in charge,

84
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 8: and they know I'm the boss, but they know I

85
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 8: identify with them. Mo Grobowski Playboy.

86
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,360

87

00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 5: a decade becomes its West Coast photo editor. Geez a

89
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: nineteen seventies LA woman who resembles Joni Mitchell and Diane Keaton.

90

91
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,520

92
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 5: Hugh Hefner, who scouts Playboy models like Dorothy Stratton and

93
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 5: Pamela Anderson into doing Playboy.

94
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 8: I said, Pam, you can be a big celebrity. All

95
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 8: you have to do is go after it.

96
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 9: Men.

97
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 8: It held Pam down for a long time.

Speaker 5: Women like Moe Grabowski and Susie Randall are behind the

99
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 5: scenes at Playboy, doing a lot of the real work

100
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 5: and insulating the magazine against charges of boys club misogyny.

101
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 6: I add the best gimmick in the business, a sexy

102
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 6: gil taking pictures of sexy gills.

103
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,200

00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 10: Studio, which is what she's still doing.

109
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 5: When Na meets her in the nineteen nineties. After being

110
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 5: sent the Julia Parton touch shots, Susie Randall rings Jenna

111
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: to book her for a photoshoot in Los Angeles. Though

112
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,000

Speaker 5: to Penthouse video anthology.

119
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: After Emma finished my face, I hardly recognize myself. I

120
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: looked for the first time in my life like a woman,

121
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: and that woman appeared sexy confident and sophisticated. She was

122
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: Jenna Jamison, and I liked her all lot lot more

123
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: than Jenna Masoli.

124
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 5: Makeup helps to create the image of Jenna Jamison beautiful

125
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 5: and urbane, but also cool and rock and roll, leather

126
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: and lace. The signature Jenna Jamison look is black eyeliner,

127
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 5: smoky eyeshadow, and a cinnamon lipliner with nude lipgloss. Emma

128
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: brings Jenna to meet Susie Randall on set at a

129
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: house in the valley, and she's taken to a setup

130
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 5: of a bed with satin sheets.

131
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 6: As a photographer, you only as good as your model feels.

132
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: Susie runs Jenna through a litany of poses and outfits

133
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 5: at a breakneck pace. Jenna finds it hard to both

134
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: hold positions and relax her face to look alluring at

135
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 5: the same time. Afterwards, Emma drives Jenna to beautiful downtown Burbank,

136
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 5: where she's put up in a shitty motel by the

137
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 5: five Freeway.

138
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 11: I've always loved being on stage since I was a

139
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 11: little little girl, and I think that's what drew me

140
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 11: to this industry. I started out just doing magazines. When

141
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 11: I was in college. I had never even been in

142
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 11: a strip club. My father's a dentist. I mean, I

143
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 11: came from this really well off family and this was

144
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 11: not what we would normally consider a career opportunity.

145
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 4: Nicki Tyler performer.

146
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 5: On the second day of the shoot, a model named

147
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 5: Nicki Tyler strikes up a chat with Jenna. Nicki Tyler

148
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: is a five toot seven Sagittarius with a blonde surfer

149
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 5: girl look. She's born Nicole Madison, grows up well off

150
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 5: in Marin County and enrolls at UC Santa Barbara. Then

151
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 5: her dog gets sick.

152
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 11: I didn't want to ask my parents for any more

153
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 11: money because they had paid for my car and I

154
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 11: had credit cards, and they had paid for me to

155
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 11: go to school, and I was totally taken care of.

156
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 11: And I was like, they are gonna die when I

157
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 11: tell them that I need fifteen hundred bucks like now,

158
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 11: because she was on IVS and I was just not

159
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 11: gonna let this little dog go. And I answered this

160
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 11: ad that said bikini, nude and lagerie modelin and I

161
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 11: was like, I will never take my top off. This

162
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 11: is my theory on that I think a lot of

163
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 11: it is. I just didn't think I was pretty enough.

164
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 11: And I think a lot of the jealousy that goes

165
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 11: on in this industry and women not liking women in

166
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 11: this industry is that they're jealous that they're not desired

167
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 11: that way, even though they could be. Our society is

168
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 11: so screwed up with the whole body image thing. Women

169
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 11: don't know what looks good.

170
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 5: She leaves UCSB to transfer into cal State Northridge Clinical

171
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 5: psychology program, but when she gets to LA she drops

172
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: out of school to try acting instead. She appears in

173
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 5: These Slobs Versus Snobs comedy Zoo Radio co directed by

174
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 5: Jay Roach, who will go on to direct Austin Powers.

175
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 5: Yeah Baby. Nicki Tyler lives in a nice suburban house

176
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: in the Valley neighborhood of Sherman Oaks. She drives to

177
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 5: Van Nuys Boulevard to pick up copies of the magazines

178
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 5: that feature her first nude layouts.

179
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 11: I couldn't get the balls up to go to the newsstand.

180
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 11: I was like, really uncomfortable with this, and I sat

181
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 11: in my car, going, NICKI, if you can pose in them,

182
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 11: you can buy him. And I saw this old man

183
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 11: working and I thought, Okay, I'll go over there now

184
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 11: and around the corner comes this cute young guy and

185
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 11: he goes, what's a cute girl like you doing in

186
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 11: a men's magazine?

187
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 10: He worked there.

188
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 4: We ended up getting married. I was young. I had

189
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 4: just turned twenty one.

190
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 5: Nicki is living with her newsy husband when she invites

191
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 5: Jenna to stay with them at their nice, big house.

192
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 5: Jenna says yes. Nicki is the first person to make

193
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 5: Jenna feel welcome in la when Jenna arrives in the

194
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 5: valley in nineteen ninety three. It's the pulsating epicenter of

195
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 5: pornography for its proximity to resources used by the other

196
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: film industry, soundstages and a constant pool of aspiring talent,

197
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 5: as well as office parks and warehouses from the mostly

198
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 5: departed aerospace industry long before the pornography industry settles there.

199
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 5: The valley is known for its cycle of financial booms

200
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 5: and busts, mirrored in its climate by severe droughts and

201
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: extreme flooding. California gains American statehood in eighteen fifty during

202
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 5: the Gold Rush, and there's a financial boom in the

203
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 5: valley raising cattle on ranches for prospectors to eat until

204
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 5: the gold rush ends and beef collapses. Now worthless, ranches

205
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 5: are resold with promises of verdant trees dripping citrus fruits.

206
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 5: But there are pesky plagues, a flood, a drought, another drought,

207
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 5: a smallpox epidemic, and a plague of locusts. Nathaniel West's

208
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 5: The Day of the Locusts is not about this particular

209
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 5: locust plague, but he does depict La as besieged with

210
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 5: constant plagues of fortune seekers lured in by fantasy images.

211
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 5: As railroads connect the valley to the rest of America,

212
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 5: there's a boom in wheat that ends when supply starts

213
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 5: to exceed demand. In nineteen oh five, La taps into

214
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 5: water to the Owens Valley. To get access to the water,

215
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: the valley must agree to annexation by the city of

216
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. The next big boom is the aerospace industry,

217
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 5: and the valley fills with aircraft factories and new housing tracks.

218
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 5: As the film industry develops, the valley becomes a backlot

219
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: for studios to shoot cheaply. In in Gone with the Wind,

220
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: when Scarlett O'Hara vows that she'll never go hungry again,

221
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 5: she's not in Georgia, but in the valley Seemi Hills area,

222
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: where Rocket Dyne tested liquid propellant, rocket engines and nuclear reactors.

223
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 5: In the nineteen seventies, the porn industry and its studio

224
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 5: system take root in the valley, utilizing its existent network

225
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 5: of office parks and sound stages. By the time Jenna

226
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 5: arrives in the valley in nineteen ninety one, it's been

227
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 5: the geographic center of the porn industry for two decades.

228
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: Jenna sleeps on the couch at Nicky Tyler's Sherman Oaks house.

229
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: She'll always be my number one girl.

230
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: One night, Nicki Tyler sends her boyfriend to their bedroom

231
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 5: so she can spend quality time with Jenna, and they

232
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: end up fooling around on the couch. Jenna says this

233
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 5: was the only time they had sex, although Nicki has

234
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 5: also claimed they were friends with benefits for years. Done

235
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: with her LA work trip and a couple and richer

236
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 5: for it, Jenna begrudgingly returns to Las Vegas.

237
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: There was something about Vegas that was poison. Every day

238
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: I spent there, I slowly lost my grip on reality.

239
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: It seemed as if the better and more exciting LA

240
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: became the worse. I made Las Vegas for myself.

241
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: When Jenna gets back to Vegas, she's determined to level

242
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 5: up her living situation.

243
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 10: There.

244
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: She has a box filled with cash that she's been

245
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: saving from stripping, but when she tries to dip into it,

246
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 5: she finds it's been depleted. Her boyfriend Jack admits he

247
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 5: took most of her savings about thirty grand and lost

248
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 5: it gambling at the Golden Nugget. Jenna feels trapped in

249
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 5: their shitty apartment, which has become a metaphor for their

250
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 5: shitty relationship. Things continue to deteriorate into constant fighting, toxic codependency,

251
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: and cheating paranoia that makes her feel insecure and depressed.

252
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 5: With her money all gone and no way out, Jenna

253
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 5: does a line of meth for the first time in

254
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: six months. When Jenna can't get hold of anyone and

255
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 5: her dad's for a few days, she heads over there

256
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 5: and finds his house abandoned. She spirals, worrying that her

257
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 5: family has been killed. Maybe her brother pissed off the

258
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 5: wrong drug dealer. Maybe her dad's enemies and the mob came.

259
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 10: Back for him.

260
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 5: Even if they are still alive, She's distressed that they

261
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: didn't even tell her they were leaving town. When her

262
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 5: phone does ring, it's Susie Randall asking her to come

263
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 5: back to La and shoot more photos.

264
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 10: She flies out for a week and goes through the motions.

265
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 5: When she comes home, there's a message that her dad

266
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 5: and brother had to suddenly blow down and we'll touch

267
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 5: base when they can. Her dad finally calls to say

268
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 5: that the family, meaning him, her brother Tony, Tony's wife Selena,

269
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: and Jenna's grandma are on the lamb. Her dad checks

270
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: in every couple weeks from a payphone in a new state.

271
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 5: Jenna doesn't know exactly what they're fleeing from, whether it's

272
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 5: real or a delusion created by her brother's meth field paranoias.

273
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 5: In a way, it doesn't really matter. Her family, one

274
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 5: of the final things tethering her to the state of Nevada,

275
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 5: have flown the coop, and so Jenna starts going to

276
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 5: La more and more often. Nikki and Jenna go to

277
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 5: the Van Nuy's newsstands so Jenna can see her photos

278
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 5: in magazines like Sherry, Hustler and High Society. Jenna notices

279
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 5: that she's being credited under random names like Daisy Holiday,

280
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 5: names that are not Jenna Jamison. They also have interviews

281
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 5: about how horny and wild she is. She never did

282
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 5: turned out by some ghostwriters. Through modeling and more stripping

283
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: at The Crazy Horse, Too, she makes back the thirty

284
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 5: grand that Jack lost at the Tables.

285
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: I rented a small, high end two bedroom apartment and

286
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: a skyscraper in Las Vegas called the Crystal Towers.

287
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 10: It was beautiful.

288
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: The foyer had black and white checkered tile, the bedroom

289
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: was immense, and the balcony overlooked an outdoor pool.

290
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 5: When Jenna World returns, Jenna makes a name for herself

291
00:18:42,960 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles. Oh my God, welcome back to Jenna Worlds. Finally,

292
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 5: Jenna has a nice, stable place to live, earned with

293
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 5: her own hard work. She invites Jack to move in

294
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 5: with her there.

295
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 4: Whoops.

296
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 5: He pays his half of the rent and likes having

297
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 5: a centerfold girlfriend. She wants him to feel dependent on

298
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 5: her and hopes that having a nicer, less meth Danish

299
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: place will give him reasons to stay home at night.

300
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 5: She's also out growing The Crazy Horse too. She is

301
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 5: tired of playing the sweet, innocent cheerleader for a bunch

302
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 5: of drunk assholes every night. She doesn't like when the

303
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 5: patron's mouth off and call her a bitch, even though

304
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 5: she's getting paid for it, so she hangs up her

305
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 5: pleasers and decides to focus on modeling. On her trips

306
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 5: to La, Jenna detoxes, she finds that crystal meth doesn't

307
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: mix well with work.

308
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 10: She wants to be on her.

309
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 5: Best, most lucid behavior at photoshoots, but it's practical vanity too.

310
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 5: Meth makes her unconsciously grind her teeth and strain her

311
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 5: facial muscles. She doesn't want to look all fucking tweaked

312
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 5: out in her pictures because she needs them to sell.

313
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 5: But whenever Jenna goes back to the Crystal Towers and Jack,

314
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 5: she also goes back to crystal meth. As she becomes

315
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 5: by Western, going back and forth between Vegas and La,

316
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 5: the contrast becomes stark. She's either in nightmarish withdrawals or

317
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 5: manic relapse, and she still doesn't trust Jack. She gets

318
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 5: a bad gut feeling about a hot, stacked blonde at

319
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 5: his local bar. Jenna approaches her one night lies and

320
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 5: says she and Jack have an open relationship, and bates

321
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 5: the other woman into admitting that she's fucked on Jack

322
00:20:59,440 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 5: a little bit.

323
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 10: Then, in an.

324
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 5: Act of psychosexual self sabotage, Jenna invites the woman who

325
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 5: coucked her over for a threesome. Jack pretends not to

326
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 5: know her at first, and the moment that Jenna sees

327
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 5: the other girl touching Jack's dick, she flips out and

328
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 5: starts beating her up.

329
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: As I lay in bed each night, I imagine having

330
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: this other life that he knew nothing about and couldn't control,

331
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: a secret identity that would crush him if he discovered it.

332
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 5: Jenna decides to get back at Jack for his crimes lying, cheating,

333
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 5: stealing her money, and gambling it away. She's going to

334
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 5: start fucking other men, and she's going to do it

335
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: where everyone else can see on camera. Jenna has several

336
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 5: good motivations for getting into adult films. She wants to

337
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 5: make more money, she wants to hurt her cheating boyfriend's feelings,

338
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 5: and she genuinely believes she'll be grated it. So Jenna

339
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 5: approaches a new frontier adult films. Jenna wants to start

340
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 5: her career at the tradway with softcore lesbian scenes. She's

341
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 5: a fan of a director named Andrew Blake, who's known

342
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 5: for his gauzy, sophisticated eroticism and worked with her hero

343
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 5: Savannah Andrew. Blake books Jenna with her friend Nicki Tyler

344
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 5: for a feature called Fantasy Women. He films Jenna and

345
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 5: Nikki kissing and touching each other for a scene called

346
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 5: Afternoon Seduction. Jenna also has a solo masturbation scene called

347
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 5: Gallery Exhibition. Shooting goes well enough to boost her confidence,

348
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 5: but it drops when Blake doesn't ask her. Back in

349
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 5: the nineties, there was an established path for female performers,

350
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 5: starting with nude pinups and progressing to solo videos and

351
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 5: girl girl scenes. Some girls never do scenes with male

352
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 5: performers at all and make a lot of money just

353
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 5: doing solo and girl girl hardcore sex facts in male

354
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 5: female scenes start with blowjobs, then vaginal sex, then anal sex,

355
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 5: then multiple partners, and finally various combinations of all of

356
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 5: the above, like gangbang scenes. The ideal scenario is a

357
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 5: slow build, where a screen debut creates audience appetite for

358
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 5: more content, which they roll out with a few movies

359
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 5: a year, but most performers can't afford to turn down

360
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 5: work in the window they're being offered it and end

361
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 5: up shooting as much as they can, which can lead

362
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 5: to burnout. Many are in and out of porn within

363
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 5: a year or two after running the gauntlet. Jenna doesn't

364
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 5: want to blitz through the steps too quickly, but she's

365
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 5: ready for a swing at the big leagues. She books

366
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 5: her first hardcore shoot for a series called Up and

367
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 5: Comers you can guess how that's spelled with a guy

368
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 5: named Randy West, as part of an industry trend called Gonzo.

369
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 5: When porn moves to video in the eighties, there's also

370
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 5: a ship in content. In nineteen eighty three, Sony puts

371
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 5: out the Betamax camcorder. Before the camcorder, video cameras connected

372
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 5: with a cord to a recording base, but the camcorder

373
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 5: eliminates the cord and the bass, making the camera operator

374
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 5: free to move anywhere in space. Camcorders hit the home

375
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 5: market that year.

376
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 12: To me, it was freedom. It was about going out

377
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 12: with a camera in public and seeing what would happen.

378
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 12: I enjoyed it, and it was also hot. Jamie gillis performer.

379
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 5: Camquorders allow for a new kind of visual immediacy, a

380
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 5: proof of alleged realness handheld video leads to cinema veritay.

381
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: In nineteen eighty nine, a porn actor named Jamie Gillis

382
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 5: innovates a new kind of adult movie where Gillis and

383
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 5: a cameraman named Duck Dumont cruise around San Francisco's North

384
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 5: Beach area in a rented limo, picking up random men

385
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 5: to have sex on camera with actress Renee Morgan. It's

386
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 5: called On the Prowl, and it's the basis for the

387
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 5: On the Lookout part of Boogie Knights, where roller girl

388
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 5: kicks the shit out of a guy who recognizes her

389
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 5: from high school. On the Lookout is the depressing third

390
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 5: act low point of Boogie Knights before the surprise, happy ending,

391
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 5: but Gillis claims On the Prowl was an exciting development

392
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 5: in porn, which is always seeking better ways to show

393
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 5: sexual spontaneity. Gillis helped pioneer a successful series called Dirty

394
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 5: Debutantes that's specialized in breaking new girls into the industry.

395
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 12: I had been in the business already for many years,

396
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 12: and I just said, oh my god, they're so boring

397
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 12: these stupid movies with the stupid scripts. So I said,

398
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 12: let's just take a girl and bring her out and

399
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 12: find somebody who wants to fuck her and.

400
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 4: Is excited about it. I literally brought girls out to.

401
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 12: The public and whoever came along.

402
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 4: That's what we shot.

403
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 12: Now. That to me was fun because it meant that

404
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 12: we didn't know exactly what was going to happen.

405
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 4: I always liked reality.

406
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 13: I hated the.

407
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 12: Old moans and groans type of porn.

408
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 5: Jamie Gillis can't necessarily be trusted, but he's a fascinating guy.

409
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 5: Born Jamie Ira German in New York on four to

410
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 5: twenty an aries Taurus cusp. He graduated from Columbia University

411
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 5: magna cum laude in nineteen seventy and was driving a

412
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 5: cab until he answered a village voice ad for nude models.

413
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 5: Openly bisexual, he worked in both gay and straight porn.

414
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 5: For the first on the Prowl, they drive around and

415
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 5: pick up a couple of sailors who agreed to film

416
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 5: with them. Renee Morgan has sex with one of the

417
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 5: sailors while Gillis and the other sailor watch, and Duck

418
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 5: Dumont captures it with the camquorder. Hi on adrenaline and

419
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 5: who knows what else Jamie Gillis's first call is to

420
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 5: his lawyer to see if selling something on the pre

421
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 5: is covered legally. The lawyer says Gillis is crazy and

422
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 5: should not release the tape, advising him that the wild

423
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 5: card aspect is too volatile. If they were to pick

424
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 5: up someone like a senator's son, it could bring down

425
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 5: the entire recently legalized porn industry. Gillis says, one of

426
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 5: the sailors does get in trouble with the Navy, even

427
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 5: though he wasn't a direct participant in the sex, and

428
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 5: Gillis calls the Navy to say he will humiliate them

429
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 5: in the press if they don't drop the charges.

430
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 12: So that's the only time in my life I had

431
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 12: a sense of what power was.

432
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: It was like, wow, the power.

433
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 7: Of the media.

434
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 12: It was a wonderful feeling to have saved that kid.

435
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 5: I cannot verify any of Jamie Gillis's stories, particularly the

436
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 5: ones that make him sound like a cool, great guy,

437
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 5: But Gillis ignores his lawyer and releases on the prowl.

438
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 5: The air of controversy over its legality only boosts its

439
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 5: pop up larity. It's not just a new tape, it's

440
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 5: a new genre.

441
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 12: I remember I was selling it for twenty dollars, which

442
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 12: was unheard of. I think most tapes at the time

443
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 12: were selling for ten. So I was selling it for

444
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 12: twice as much as anyone was asking. And I thought,

445
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 12: this is revolutionary, this is exciting, And as it turned out,

446
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 12: I was right. It spawned the gonzo business. Not that

447
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 12: I had everything to do with it, but I had

448
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 12: something to do with it. Jamie Gillis, director.

449
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 5: On the Prowl is a huge hit that kicks off

450
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: a new format known as gonzo porn. Gonzo had become

451
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 5: shorthand for first person experiential writing, also called new journalism,

452
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 5: where a writer breaks the fourth wall to acknowledge that

453
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 5: they're also a character in the story. Calling it gonzo

454
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 5: implies a certain down and dirty experimentalism. So gonzo porn likewise,

455
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 5: makes the camera man a character who acknowledges that a

456
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 5: sexual encounter is being filmed for an audience to watch.

457
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 5: Camcorders are making amateurs into directors and performers at home too,

458
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 5: and as civilians start shooting amateur sex tapes, professional porn

459
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: starts to emulate the amateur look. In gonzo porn, there's

460
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 5: a new layer of eroticism in getting people to do

461
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 5: things they otherwise wouldn't do through the allure of being

462
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 5: on camera. It's a fictionalized take on the casting couch,

463
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 5: which is when men in the mainstream film business promise

464
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 5: acting work to aspiring starlits in exchange for sex. But

465
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 5: in Gonzo porn, the performers are aware that they're going

466
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 5: on camera to have sex and have already signed a

467
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 5: release form. Gonzo porn often has the camera operator, who's

468
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 5: sometimes also the male performer, talking directly with the star

469
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 5: about what she's going to do before she does it.

470
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 5: As a form of foreplay, Gonzo reveals the existence of

471
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 5: its own production and film crew to double down on

472
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 5: the porn illusion that you are voyeuristically watching raw intimate

473
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 5: acts recorded live, and like you might imagine from the name,

474
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 5: Gonzo porn tends towards extreme and fetishistic sex. Jamie Gillis

475
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 5: licenses his On the Prowl franchise to Vivid Video, saying

476
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 5: he prefers the creative side of the biz. On the

477
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 5: Prowl's success ripples through the industry. In nineteen eighty nine,

478
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 5: John Stagliano's The Adventures of Butt Man featuring Jamie Gillis continues,

479
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 5: establishing Gonzo as porn's next wave. Camcorders also influence independent

480
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 5: filmmakers like Steven Soderberg, whose low budget breakthrough Sex Lies

481
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 5: and Videotape is about the dangers of keeping a loaded

482
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 5: camcorder in the home. Gonzo porn feels like a direct

483
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 5: backlash to the rise of the contract girls. In the

484
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: contract girl model, the girls are the stars and the

485
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 5: men are the accessories to their sexual journey of self discovery.

486
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 5: In gonzo porn, the star is a dirtbag man who

487
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 5: acts as a stand in for a straight male audience,

488
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 5: fulfilling a fantasy of getting young women to degrade themselves

489
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 5: on screen. The premise is usually that the girls are

490
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 5: stupid to think this is smart and will get humiliated

491
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 5: for it, first verbally and then physically. If the contract

492
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: girl system was about elevating the sexualized woman into a

493
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 5: temporary star, gonzo porn is about putting women who like

494
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 5: to fuck back in their place under the boot of

495
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 5: creepy losers paying to watch them get disposed of. In

496
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 5: gonzo porn, the girls are an endless replaceable commodity that

497
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 5: they are constantly trashed for new girls as part of

498
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 5: the appeal, which mimics capitalism if vivid girls invested in

499
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 5: parasocial cults of personality, Gonzo is a rejoinder asserting that

500
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 5: the girls are still just interchangeable.

501
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 10: Pieces of meat.

502
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 5: After on the Prowl, Jamie Gillis's follow up Gonzo movies

503
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 5: become increasingly violent, blatantly abusive towards the starlits, racist, and

504
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 5: generally very bad vibes. Then, a man from Racine, Wisconsin

505
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 5: named Paul F. Little a Leo becomes the new most

506
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 5: hated man in pornography in nineteen ninety two for his

507
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 5: crimes against taste. After he renames himself Max Hardcore.

508
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 13: A message from Max.

509
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 7: Never use violence to get what you want, especially from women.

510
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: Max Hardcore pornographer.

511
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 5: Pushing the limits of extreme sex is the game within

512
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 5: the Gonzo arms race, and in Max Hardcore films, the

513
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 5: focus is on violent sex ax delivered by Max purposely

514
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 5: devoid of any interest in female pleasure. Max Hardcore pedals

515
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 5: a fantasy, all right, but it's not about sex. It's

516
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 5: about taking revenge on women, and in his signature cowboy hat,

517
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 5: he picks up barely legal girls dressed as Lolita's. Max

518
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: Hardcore's content is so extreme that even Ron Jeremy thinks

519
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 5: it's in bad taste.

520
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 10: I don't like it at all. It's too extreme.

521
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 7: These days, it's all about how many dicks can you

522
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 7: stuff in one ax.

523
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 5: If a girl's not smiling, if she's not enjoying it,

524
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: then I don't like it.

525
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 10: Ron Jeremy performer.

526
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 5: But Max Hardcore's nineteen ninety two independent release, Anal Adventures

527
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 5: of Max Hardcore becomes a smash hit without any of

528
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 5: the major porn studio's involvement. The established studio players think

529
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 5: Max Hardcore's work is bad for the industry's reputation. It

530
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 5: makes them look like pedophiles and sexual sadists trying to

531
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 5: exploit girls into making a big mistake. Steve Hirsh's utopian

532
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 5: eighties vivid video vision of couples watching porn together at home,

533
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 5: is he not in line with Max Hardcore's which brings

534
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 5: porn back under a dirty raincoat. Hardcore might single handedly

535
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 5: undo years of other people's work, legitimizing porn in mainstream

536
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 5: culture as not just for male sexual deviance. Most performers

537
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 5: from the Valley Studio system refuse to work with Max Hardcore,

538
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 5: but armed with his camcorder and a cowboy hat, he

539
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 5: makes his name on what gets called pro amateur content,

540
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 5: scouting local talent in Florida and branding himself as an

541
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 5: industry outsider. Max Hardcore's extreme sexual content is not about

542
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 5: what feels good for the female performers. It's about what

543
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 5: looks the most shocking, painful, or ostensibly humiliating for the

544
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 5: actress on screen. He innovates the on camera use of

545
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 5: gynecological speculums as sex toys. People behind the scenes claim

546
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 5: that Max Hardcore is just a character Paul lef Little

547
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 5: is playing, and that before shoots Dying, he thoroughly walks

548
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 5: the girls through what the scene will entail and tells

549
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 5: them to speak up if it becomes painful and they'll

550
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 5: stop rolling. One performer named Anastasia Blue says Max Hardcore

551
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 5: called her after they shot to wish her a happy Easter.

552
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 5: The writer David Foster Wallace touches on the industry controversy

553
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 5: over Max Hardcore in Neither Adult nor Entertainment, His account

554
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 5: of the nineteen ninety eight Avian Awards, first published under

555
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 5: a pseudonym in Premier magazine, Wallace brings up a new

556
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 5: issue raised by pornography in the nineteen nineties, whether it

557
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 5: might be addictive. The new cultural fear is that fantasy

558
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 5: visual images of extreme sex have become so widely available

559
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 5: they are going to supplant physical intercourse.

560
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 14: Max's videos promotional posters have him carrying a girl in

561
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 14: mini shorts over his shoulder against a backdrop of various

562
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 14: city The skylines. The pitches at the bottom say see

563
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 14: pretty girls sodomized in manners most foul. See come splattered

564
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 14: girls too stupid to know better that David Foster, Wallace writer.

565
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 5: By the early nineties, gonzo is the most popular genre

566
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 5: in porn, and narrative storytelling in porn is on life support.

567
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 5: But not all gonzo porn is like Max Hardcore's. There's

568
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 5: another side to gonzo, where the extreme intensity of the

569
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 5: sex acts correlates with emotional intensity. It is naturally European.

570
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 5: Gonzo's descent into escalating acts of depravity is not an

571
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 5: American invention. It's an attempt to keep up with the

572
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 5: globalization of porn and European porn, where censorship rules are

573
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 5: less strict and culture is less sexually repressed. Like German

574
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 5: expression led to film noir, and French New Wave led

575
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 5: to New Hollywood. European porn leads to American Gonzo.

576
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 2: I want to see emotion, fear, excitement, the eyes going

577
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 2: up from being surprised.

578
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 5: The true innovator of Gonzo is naturally Italian. His name

579
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 5: is Rocco Sefreddi aka the Italian Stallion. Born Rocco Antonio

580
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 5: Tano in Abruzzo, Italy in nineteen sixty four. A Taurus,

581
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 5: he grows up in the seaport town or Tona Amar.

582
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 5: After considering the priesthood, he moves to Paris, where he

583
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 5: meets some French people at Le Sex Club who scout

584
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 5: him into Libiz. After seeing his lieutenan Inchcock. He takes

585
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 5: his stage name Rocco Safreddi, most likely from Alan Delon's

586
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 5: character in nineteen seventies. Borslino and his parents may also

587
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 5: have named him after Allan Delon's character Rocco and his brothers.

588
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 2: I tell him it's my vocation, it's the dream of

589
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 2: my life. He was with two girls and he told me,

590
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 2: let me see what you know. I remember having sex

591
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: in front of two hundred people there, and in the

592
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: morning I was in the studio working.

593
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 5: Rocco grew up Roman Catholic, where sex is suffused with

594
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 5: guilt and shame. He shoots an anal sex scene for

595
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 5: his very first film, Attention Fiat.

596
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: As an actor, I put to my strong passion and

597
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 2: anything I do, it can be porno or it can

598
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 2: be straight movies. The main difference generally is emotions and

599
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: physical Unfortunately, we look more for the double penetrations for

600
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: triple penetrations than how all the penetrations canna start.

601
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 5: Rocco Safreddi becomes porn's biggest male breakout stars since John C.

602
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 10: Holmes.

603
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 5: He becomes known for group sex with a pan pleat

604
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 5: of women in his movies.

605
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: In my real life, I never do that. It's too exhausting.

606
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 5: So by the time Jenna arrives in Porn Valley, Gonzo

607
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 5: is still dominating the industry. The brains and body between

608
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 5: the Up and Comers series is a legendary stick man

609
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 5: named Randy West.

610
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 15: Jenna contacted me and said she wanted to get into

611
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 15: the triple x business, but her agent didn't want her

612
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 15: to do porn. A month later, I'm on a shoot

613
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 15: in Woodland Hills and there's Jenna. I knew Jenna was

614
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 15: special right off the bat. I figured she'd be the

615
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 15: next Ginger Lynn, but nobody had any idea she was

616
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 15: going to be as big as she turned out to be.

617
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 15: Jenna told me when we first met that she was

618
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 15: going to be a star. Randy West performer.

619
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 5: Randy West is born in New York in nineteen forty

620
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 5: seven as Andrew j Abrams, a libra. He gets a

621
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 5: baseball scholarship to EU Miami, where he plays in local

622
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 5: rock bands and makes some money doing nude figure modeling.

623
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 5: He moves to California in nineteen seventy nine, where he

624
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 5: joins male stripper troop the Chippendales and changes his name

625
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 5: to Randy West. A lot of guys who end up

626
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 5: porn stars are trying for success as athletes, actors, or

627
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 5: musicians first and then land in porn. Randy West is

628
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 5: one such character. He starts his acting career in a

629
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 5: non sex role in the French softcore film series Emmanuel,

630
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 5: and gets into hardcore porn with films like Fratthouse Frolics.

631
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 5: In nineteen eighty, Randy West becomes the first male model

632
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 5: to appear with an erection as a Playgirl Centerfold in

633
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 5: the nineteen eighties, his porn career dips and he starts

634
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 5: selling pot on the side. Randy West's story is like

635
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 5: a nice version of the John Holmes story where nothing

636
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 5: bad happens. A guy with a huge hog just moves

637
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 5: to La, sells a little bit of good weed, and

638
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 5: makes thirteen hundred pornographic films in the nineteen nineties. Randy

639
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 5: West is also Robert Redford's body double and Indecent Proposal

640
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 5: and Michael Douglas's body double in Basic Instinct.

641
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 15: Eyeshot her when she still had her real tits, and

642
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 15: her tits were awesome.

643
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 5: When Jenna World returns, Jenna makes her porn Valley debut.

644
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 10: Oh my God, Welcome.

645
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 5: Back to Jenna World. Jenna makes a request to Randy

646
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 5: West to shoot with an actress named Kylie Ireland. Up

647
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 5: and Comers is like Dirty Debutants, based around shooting girls

648
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 5: who are new into the industry. The house in the

649
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 5: Hills where forty six year old Randy West lives and

650
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 5: puts girls up is also the set he films gonzo

651
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 5: style stop without real takes or setups, trying to capture

652
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 5: spontaneous action as it occurs, Randy West sets up Jenna

653
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 5: and Kylie on a blue and white Mexican falseublanket on

654
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 5: the grass in the backyard to go at it for

655
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 5: an hour and a half. Randy West tries to talk

656
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 5: Jenna into doing her first boy girl scene that day,

657
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 5: but she says no. One thing that helps Jenna survive

658
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 5: in the industry is that she's really.

659
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 10: Good at saying no to people.

660
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 5: She doesn't have the fear of being a bitch that

661
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 5: makes some women be default polite to strange men. But

662
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 5: during a threesome with Kylie Ireland, Jenna decides of her

663
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 5: own volition that maybe now she wants to give Randy

664
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 5: West a little bit of head like he suggested.

665
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: I needed something to do to keep from looking stupid

666
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 1: on camera, so I just held it in my mouth

667
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: a little.

668
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 15: In the middle of the scene, Jenna said it was

669
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 15: okay to eat her pussy, and at the end of

670
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 15: the scene she and Kylie gave me a blood job.

671
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 5: He offers her two grand to do a penetrative sex

672
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 5: scene with him at her next shoot. She plans to

673
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 5: do boygirl sex eventually, and Randy West seems experienced and professional,

674
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 5: so she accepts For the follow up shoot, Jenna arrives

675
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 5: wearing a preppy white tennis dress. Randy directs her to

676
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 5: show off her body to the camera and also shows

677
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 5: her petting his cat.

678
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if I could go through with it

679
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: because he seemed a little bit lecherous, but the moment

680
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: he shut up and stripped down, something snapped inside me,

681
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: and a primal part I had never been in touch

682
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: with leaped out with a guy. There was strength, energy, intensity,

683
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: and passion. It was a dance in which we wrestled

684
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: for control, and as soon as I let go and

685
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: abandon myself to the moment, I won.

686
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 13: When the sex started, she just fucking rocked.

687
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 5: As part of abandoning herself to the moment, Jenna agrees

688
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 5: to let Randy ejaculate inside her. She finds this to

689
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 5: be his most shocking request because it's not photogenic. Usually

690
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 5: there's a pop shot onto the girl so that the

691
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 5: viewer can see it, but then he asks her if

692
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 5: she would squeeze it out on camera, and Jenna, discovering

693
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 5: the expanding limits of her own exhibitionism, says, okay.

694
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: I flexed my PC muscles and the cum just burst out.

695
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: Of me accompanied by a loud squirting sound. It would

696
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 1: be an unnglamorous but pivotal moment for the adult film business,

697
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: one of the first internal pop shots.

698
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 13: It was one of my greatest accomplishments in porn. The

699
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 13: fact that I didn't come in forty minutes. I don't

700
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 13: know how I lasted.

701
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 15: And then I asked her if I could come in

702
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 15: her pussy and she said okay, so we did a

703
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 15: cream pie.

704
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 13: Jenna told me later that she was relieved that she

705
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 13: he didn't have to take a load on her face.

706
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 5: Jenna is exhilarated, and just as she hoped, Jack is

707
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 5: livid when he finds out, they have a huge fight

708
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 5: and he splits for a week. But instead of dumping her,

709
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 5: Jack actually starts putting effort into their relationship. He also

710
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 5: gets her back into crystal math, and so the cycle continues.

711
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: Just like at the Crazy Horse, the girls with the

712
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: monster silicone got all the attention, and I had to

713
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: compete with the one organ I had that was bigger

714
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: my brain.

715
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 5: There's no word for when a woman feels emasculated by

716
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 5: another woman who's more womanly than she is, But that's

717
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 5: how taller, blonder women with bigger tits make Jenna her

718
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 5: new brass ring is a solo VHS cover, the metric

719
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 5: by which nineties porn stardom is measured. The bigger the star,

720
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 5: the more space they get on the box cover. Jenna

721
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 5: meets a producer who promises her a box cover. Unlike

722
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 5: her professional dare I say pleasant experiences with Andrew Blake

723
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 5: and Randy West, this shoot feels scuzzy to her from

724
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 5: the get go. When she gets to the studio City set,

725
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 5: she is immediately grossed out by the dirty condition of

726
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 5: the porn house. The movie is called Baby Doll, and

727
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 5: the credits misspell her stage name.

728
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 16: Sugar Spice and everything nice, very very nice. As a

729
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 16: matter of fact, it is smoking since City presents the

730
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 16: perfect excuse for self abuse. Jenna Jamison as the girl

731
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 16: next door who's naughty fantasies and vivid imagination lead her

732
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 16: on a sexual roller coaster ride through hollywood It's hottest

733
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 16: modeling agencies, casting couches, oral auditions, all night Mazzola parties,

734
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 16: and back alley jam sessions. It is a hard climb

735
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 16: to the head of the class, but Jenna's got it wired.

736
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 16: This girl's left more guys panting than a staremaster in Overdrive.

737
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 16: Look Out, Hollywood, Baby Doll has arrived. Baby Doll VHS copy.

738
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 5: Baby Doll is made by a husband and wife directing team.

739
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 5: Jenna plays a girl fresh off the bus from Iowa,

740
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 5: trying to make it in Hollywood.

741
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: It's not that I don't like sex, you know that's

742
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: not true. I want to make it because I'm good,

743
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: not just because I fucked the right people like I did.

744
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,439
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

745
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 8: That's okay, honey. I do that because I wanted to

746
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 8: do that. I have no regret.

747
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: Then fuck me, bitch now.

748
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 5: I know it sounds crazy to call Randy West, who

749
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 5: shot Jenna squirting com out of her pussy, respectful, but

750
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 5: by her own account, he made her feel safe. On

751
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 5: set on Baby Doll, Jenna is physically repulsed by her

752
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 5: male co star. It's her first real test as an actress.

753
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 5: While filming, she feels the disconnect of blowing a guy

754
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 5: that she's not attracted to, and also gets mad that

755
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 5: he can't stay hard. She gets through filming as quickly

756
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 5: as possible and leaves feeling ready to quit porn. That

757
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 5: day Jenna returns to Las Vegas depressed and directionless. Retreating

758
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 5: back to Jack and Crystal Meth again, she decides that

759
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 5: her big brain isn't enough. Her natural breasts are nice,

760
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 5: but they're not what sells. As she turns twenty years old,

761
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 5: she decides she needs really big, fake boobs.

762
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: I needed to do something to get more jobs, otherwise

763
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: I'd lose the only source of income left to me.

764
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: At least that's what I told myself. The real reason,

765
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: in retrospect was that I wanted more attention from Jack.

766
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 1: I thought that if I look sexier, he would want

767
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: me more.

768
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 5: How pathetic, Her friend Rockabilly Jennifer refers her to a surgeon.

769
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 5: Jenna wants to go up one cup size from B

770
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 5: to C. The doctor gives her d cups, and her

771
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 5: new boobs look super fake because Jenna is so petite.

772
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 5: When she first sees the results, she starts crying still.

773
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 5: Jennifer and Jenna celebrate at an Italian place and then

774
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 5: celebrate each other's bodies in a bathroom, but Jennifer says

775
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 5: it will be the last time she's pregnant with a

776
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 5: Rockabilly baby that will come out with a tiny greased

777
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 5: pompadoran leather jacket if it's a boy, or in a

778
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 5: cherry print dressed with swallow chest tattoos if it's a girl.

779
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 5: Once Jenna sees how much Jack likes her new boobs,

780
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 5: she feels less regret, but she still feels like life

781
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 5: is passing her by. Her family has resettled in Redding,

782
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 5: California without her, and Jack is still cheating on her constantly.

783
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 5: The one thing that she has for herself is her career,

784
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 5: which is stalling out. Although working with Susie Randall is

785
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 5: supposedly an honor, it's also grueling and underpaid. Whenever she

786
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 5: shoots with Susie, she has to sign away all the

787
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 5: rights to her pictures. Susie Randall talks a big game,

788
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 5: but Jenna has been working for a year and she's

789
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 5: no closer to being a penthouse pet or playboy playmate

790
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 5: than she was before she met Susie Randall.

791
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: Though she is a great person and a talented photographer, Susie,

792
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: I soon realized, is also a shark. Her specialty is

793
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: nice young girls, much like myself, who are so happy

794
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: to have a modeling opportunity they'll do anything.

795
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 5: Modeling takes advantage of the continual stream of new people

796
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,959
Speaker 5: who want to get into the industry so badly they'll

797
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 5: take any kind of work. Eventually, if they stay long

798
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 5: enough and get fucked over a few times, they'll realize

799
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 5: they deserve to be paid a stable living wage to

800
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 5: do a job professionally, even if it's something they genuinely

801
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 5: love doing, like having sex or podcasting. Jenna starts smoking

802
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 5: meth too, which makes her paranoid. She stops booking shoots

803
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 5: with Susie Randall because she feels like it's a scam,

804
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 5: but she also wants to stay home in Vegas with

805
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 5: Jack to keep an eye on him. She gives up

806
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 5: on her ambitions, cancels work commitments, and dedicates herself to

807
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 5: getting high. Smoking is a harder and briefer high, so

808
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 5: she constantly needs more meth, and for that she needs Jack.

809
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 5: She's become completely dependent on him for drugs and validation,

810
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 5: the latter of which only makes him pull away from

811
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 5: her more.

812
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: At the time, I truly believed that in order for

813
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: him to abuse me the way he did, he really

814
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: had to love me. If he didn't, he just wouldn't

815
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: respond her care, which would have been even more painful

816
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: to bear. The problem was that he didn't know how

817
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: to love. His father had abandoned him, his mother and

818
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: cousin were dead, the uncle who raised him was a monster.

819
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 5: They fuck and fight and use drugs like a true

820
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 5: child wife. Jenna does speed and cleans their place compulsively.

821
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 5: She forgets to eat because she's high all the time,

822
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 5: and starts to look skeletal. When she does do photoshoots

823
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 5: in Vegas, she's erratic, grinding her jaw and constantly disappearing

824
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 5: to smoke more math. People start asking if she's okay

825
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 5: because she's so clearly not. Jenna gets really into crafting

826
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,720
Speaker 5: and collaging with a hot glue gun, making elaborate paper

827
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 5: mache dragons. If you ever feel bad about how much

828
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 5: stuff got accomplished in the twentieth century, just remind yourself

829
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 5: that all those people were on medical grade speed, including

830
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 5: the President. One night, Jenna pulls a little pearl handled

831
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 5: pistol that she has on Jack and confronts him about

832
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 5: cheating again. He hits the gun out of her hand,

833
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 5: then throws her across the room so hard she chips

834
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 5: a bone and blacks out. She's too physically weak to

835
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 5: stand up. Jenna is hitting rock bottom. She's scarily gaunt

836
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 5: and has stopped working. She finally acknowledges that she is not,

837
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 5: as she has been telling herself, just a social drug user.

838
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,879
Speaker 5: She calls Nikki Tyler in La, who offers to take

839
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 5: her in, but Jenna is addicted both to meth and

840
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 5: her cheating, lying, now physically abusive boyfriend who is also

841
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 5: her drug connect. She's all the way down in a

842
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 5: deep hole that she has dug, but the prospect of

843
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:06,479
Speaker 5: climbing back out of it feels too daunting. Jack makes

844
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 5: the decision for both of them.

845
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 10: He says he's.

846
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 5: Leaving her, and she realizes in this moment that he

847
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 5: is moving in with his side piece, who is actually

848
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 5: also his drug dealer. Now Jenna is truly alone, and

849
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 5: all she yearns for is death. She tries to overdose

850
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,879
Speaker 5: by taking four darvasset. She answers the phone, hoping it's

851
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 5: Jack returning, but it's another guy from Jack's tattoo shop

852
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 5: who recognizes that Jenna is in bad trouble and comes

853
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 5: to her rescue. He makes her call her dad, which

854
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 5: she really doesn't want to do, and tell him what's

855
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 5: been going on. He gets Jenna into a wheelchair and

856
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 5: puts her on a plane, sending her to her family

857
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 5: and Redding.

858
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 1: It was impossible to separate where the depression from meth

859
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: withdraw and where the depression from Jack with d raw began.

860
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: My entire adult life up to this moment had revolved

861
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: around him.

862
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 5: Jenna's family accepts her and nurses her back to health.

863
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 5: Her brother is clean now. Their dad says he regrets

864
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 5: laying down the law everywhere but at home. After a

865
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 5: month of convalescing and reading, she finally hears from Jack.

866
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 5: But Jenna has grown a backbone and knows that going

867
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 5: back would be a fatal mistake. She's ready to go

868
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 5: out on her own again, back to La and the

869
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 5: porn business.

870
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: The problem with sobriety was having to deal with reality.

871
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 5: Jenna goes straight to Nicki Tyler's house, where she's been

872
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 5: promised the couch again. She is getting back up to

873
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,760
Speaker 5: a healthy weight after dropping down to under one hundred pounds.

874
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 5: Nicki is horrified by Jenna's gaunt appearance and her sparse

875
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 5: wardrobe of boxers and tank tops. Oh Nikki takes Jenna

876
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 5: shopping for new clothes, fulfilling one of Jenna's longest held dreams.

877
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 5: Jenna takes a short gig dancing at Crazy Girls in Vegas,

878
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 5: back around her old temptations. She stays strong when she's

879
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 5: around someone smoking math, she now feels repulsed, and the

880
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 5: same goes for Jack. He shows up to Crazy Girls

881
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 5: physically ravaged by his drug use. They have lunch and

882
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 5: he begs her to take him back, but she feels nothing.

883
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 5: They are a long way from hot buttered hand jobs.

884
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 5: At the Venetian, Jenna is offered a role in a

885
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 5: movie with Tiffany Million, a former wrestler her heat Wave Studio,

886
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 5: maker of films like Pull My Hair and Call Me Stupid.

887
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: I had to make a life for myself. I was

888
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: good at this whole sex on camera thing. I enjoyed it.

889
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: If I only chose high quality projects from reputable directors,

890
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: I could avoid the less savory.

891
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 17: Side of the business.

892
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: Everyone I talked to told me not to go into

893
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 1: adult films. They all had their reasons, and they all

894
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 1: made sense, but the notion wouldn't leave my head.

895
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 5: Jenna makes a friend on set named Ben Banks, who

896
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 5: goes by the stage name Stephen Saint Croix up Ices.

897
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 5: He's raised as a Jehovah's witness and a religious Connecticut household,

898
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 5: and goes to trade school to become a bricklayer, but

899
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 5: God doesn't want him to be a layer of bricks.

900
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 18: There are only about eight guys who work consistently. They're

901
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 18: not as appealing as the models walking down Hugo Boss's

902
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 18: runway who women would love to see naked. I'm trying

903
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 18: to make male actors more recognizable. Stephen Saint Croix performer.

904
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 5: He works as a PA on nineteen ninety two Deep

905
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 5: Throat six, directed by Ron Jeremy. When the male performer

906
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 5: hired for Deep Throat six fails to show up because

907
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 5: there's a warrant out for his arrest, Saint Croix steps

908
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 5: in front of the camera and becomes a star. In

909
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety five, he becomes the first ever Vivid contract boy.

910
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 5: He tries to get into comedy and Hollywood, taking classes

911
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 5: with the la Improp Troop the Groundlings, but mainstream films

912
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 5: don't want him, and so he goes back to porn,

913
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 5: performing as Stephen Saint Croix and sometimes using the name

914
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 5: Jean Luc Goedard after the French New Wave director.

915
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,919
Speaker 18: I like working with people.

916
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 5: When Jenna meets Stephen Saint Croix, he's driving a landscaping

917
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 5: truck for his side business and gives her a ride

918
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 5: in it. Back to Nicky's, Jenna is itching to get

919
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 5: off Nicki's couch, both because she wants her own place

920
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 5: and because Nicki's newsy husband is a drag. Jenna also

921
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 5: spots signs that Nicki is abusing speed. She's staying up

922
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 5: all night cleaning and doing crafts. The north Ridge earthquake

923
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 5: hits in nineteen ninety four, shattering all the windows in

924
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 5: Nicky Tyler's house. After the quake, Nicki and her husband

925
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 5: move into a bigger house. Jenna gets her own room

926
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 5: this time, but she can't handle living with tweakers while

927
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 5: she's clean, Nicki is paranoid and erratic, and her husband.

928
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 10: Is a bully.

929
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 5: Whenever Jenna tries to bring up issues, Nicki gets defensive

930
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 5: and says Jenna is disrespecting her. Jenna finally finds a

931
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 5: sympathetic ear in Nicky's brother, Michael, who's also worried about Nicki.

932
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 5: She finds sympathetic other parts in Michael too, who resembles

933
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 5: her friend Nicki, but as a tall straight man Michael

934
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 5: is chasing his own dream, starting a designer handbag line.

935
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 5: Michael takes Jenna to a piercing shop in Studio City,

936
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 5: where she commemorates moving to La full time with a

937
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 5: belly button pere, which was the style at the time.

938
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 5: They go through the classifieds and find Jenna her own

939
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 5: little studio.

940
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 10: Apartment in Van Nuys.

941
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 5: She puts a mattress down on the floor and Michael

942
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 5: takes her on a shopping spree to buy furniture, but

943
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 5: he always leaves her place immediately after they have sex,

944
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 5: and Jenna wants more from a relationship, so to provide

945
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 5: the intimacy she craves, Jenna buys a tiny television and

946
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 5: falls asleep watching it every night. She tells Michael she

947
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 5: wants him to stay over and do more boyfriend stuff,

948
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 5: but instead of stepping up to the plate, he further withdraws.

949
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 5: Having expressed her needs and been rebuked, Jenna has now

950
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 5: learned to just walk away, but being on her own

951
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 5: in La isn't easy. As much as she wants to

952
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 5: be independent, she also wishes she had someone to rely on.

953
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 5: She doesn't have a car and is making just enough

954
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 5: money to cover food and rent. She resents having to

955
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 5: do everything for and buy herself, which turns into a

956
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 5: depression that involves lying in her dark apartment, watching TV,

957
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:11,479
Speaker 5: ordering takeout, and never going outside. Her career is stagnating too.

958
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 5: She's booking just enough work to survive, but she's oversaturated

959
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 5: in magazines and not moving up in porn. So Jenna

960
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 5: starts doing research acquainting herself with the major adult studios.

961
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: I came to the conclusion after I had done a

962
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: few films that the best way to become a huge

963
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: star is to be a contract girl. The first person

964
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to was Steve Hirsch at Vivid.

965
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 5: When Jenna World returns, Jenna becomes a contract girl. Oh

966
01:01:53,800 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 5: my god, welcome back to jenal World. She's heard Vivid's

967
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 5: contracts for performers aren't what they were in Gingerlyn's era,

968
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 5: but she still approaches Vivid first because they're the number

969
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 5: one studio in porn. Steve Hirsh likes Jenna, but won't

970
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 5: promise her the special treatment and top star billing that

971
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 5: she wants. She needs to find a studio that's still

972
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 5: growing their brand. A husband and wife photographer team refer

973
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 5: her to an up and coming studio called Wicked Pictures,

974
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 5: run by a guy named Steve Ornstein.

975
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to pit a couple companies against each other

976
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: to see how much money I could make, so I

977
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 1: went into Wicked.

978
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 10: Wicked.

979
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 19: You have to try really hard to lose money in

980
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 19: this business, Steve Orenstein, Wicked Pictures.

981
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 5: The Wicked Picture's office looks exactly like a business office

982
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 5: in a porn There's a black leather couch and a

983
01:02:54,480 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 5: dark lacquered wood desk with disorganized paperwork a trash Tablena

984
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 5: is nervous if the decorps stresses her out. Steve Ornstein

985
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 5: himself sets her at ease. He's a jewish redhead from

986
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 5: the valley whose mom is an accountant, just like me.

987
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 5: Steve blinks nervously, making her feel less nervous. He's not

988
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 5: a slimy huckster. He's a businessman, and he understands that

989
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 5: Jenna is a business woman. He asks her what her

990
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 5: career goals are and really listens when she tells him

991
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 5: she wants to get to the very top of the

992
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 5: porn industry with Wicked. She bluffs confidence and overdoes it

993
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 5: a little.

994
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: I've done a billion magazines with no one's help. I

995
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: made myself the most photographed girl in the business. The

996
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: movie scenes I've done have been pivotal. A lot of

997
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: people know who I am, I know what I'm worth,

998
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: and I'm ready for the next step. The most important

999
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: thing to me is to become the biggest star the

1000
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: industry has ever seen.

1001
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 5: He dictates a contract for his assistant to draw up.

1002
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 5: She asks for a clause that she gets to approve

1003
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 5: other contract girls, which he agrees to. Jenna reads it over.

1004
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 5: She decides to take Steve Ornstein at his word and

1005
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 5: sign right there, which could have been a huge mistake,

1006
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 5: but Jenna's instincts are right. Steve Ornstein is a good

1007
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 5: guy to work for. To make eight movies in one year,

1008
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 5: Wicked Pictures will pay her forty eight thousand dollars and

1009
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 5: as a signing bonus, throw in a new fridge for

1010
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 5: her place. Steve Hirsch from Vivid Video and Steve Ornstein

1011
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 5: from Wicked Pictures, the two Steves of Porn have similar

1012
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 5: life stories. They are both Jewish guys named Stephen who

1013
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 5: grew up in the valley in the seventies. Both Steve's

1014
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 5: are second generation in the adult film business and both

1015
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 5: worked their way up in sales first before starting studios.

1016
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 5: Stephen Ornstein's father moves the family to La for the

1017
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 5: climate after arthritis limits his ability to work as an

1018
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 5: auto mechanic. In La, Steve's mother answers an ad for

1019
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 5: a bookkeeping job at Lynden Distributors, which turns out to

1020
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 5: distribute adult magazines and helps Steve get a summer job there.

1021
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 5: He moves over to a company that ships X toys

1022
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 5: and stag films, dropping out of college to apprentice there.

1023
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 5: At twenty years old, Steve Ornstein becomes shipping manager for

1024
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 5: an adult video company. In nineteen ninety he starts his

1025
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 5: first production house, Excitement Productions. Excitement makes twenty four films

1026
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 5: before Steve falls out with his co producer. He decides

1027
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 5: to start up his own studio, and in nineteen ninety

1028
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 5: three he founds Wicked Pictures in Canoga Park. He hires

1029
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 5: his mother to be Wicked's accountant.

1030
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 19: My plan was to make films for the couple's market

1031
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 19: that had a relatively high production value. I wanted to

1032
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 19: put out a small amount of movies and be proud

1033
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 19: of each one.

1034
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 5: At first, Steve Ornstein doesn't plan to have contract Girls.

1035
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 5: He thinks high quality pornographic film should be enough to

1036
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 5: make his company a success, but Wicked Pictures releases thus

1037
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 5: far are flopping. An agent sells Ornstein on a starlet

1038
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 5: named Chasey Lane, and they make her the first Wicked

1039
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 5: contract Girl her first release. Nineteen ninety three's The Original

1040
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 5: Wicked Woman is Wicked Pictures first hit and sells Steve

1041
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 5: Ornstein on the contract girl concept. The Original Wicked Woman

1042
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 5: is about a time traveling alien named Nova who has

1043
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 5: sex with historical figures like Julius Caesar played by Stephen

1044
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 5: Saint Croix and Cleopatra played by an Egyptian German porn

1045
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 5: star from Van Nys named Isis Nile. The Original Wicked

1046
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 5: Woman is also seen clearly in Jeff Green's porn collection.

1047
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 5: In the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode porn O gill.

1048
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: I was making six thousand dollars, a movie that sounded

1049
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: like huge money to me at the time.

1050
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 5: Jenna re enters the adult own business in nineteen ninety

1051
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 5: three in mercenary mode. She is not here to make friends,

1052
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 5: only money. At this point, Jenna feels like men only

1053
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:13,439
Speaker 5: exist to fund her and drain her energy. She puts

1054
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 5: up a big wall emotionally, but her unavailability makes guys

1055
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 5: more interested. But no matter how hard they pursue her,

1056
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 5: she declines, if she never lets anyone in, she can't

1057
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 5: get hurt again. That'll show them. So she cuts off

1058
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 5: the one friend she made, Stephen Saint Croix, and isolates

1059
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 5: in her vanny's apartment with her TV and fridge, only,

1060
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 5: leaving it to work. Her single minded dedication to promoting

1061
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 5: her career and Wicked Pictures starts paying off. Jenna gets

1062
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 5: two pages of coverage in Adult Video News, the porn

1063
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 5: industry's main publication. She gets happy news from her family

1064
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 5: that her brother and his wife are having a child,

1065
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 5: and sad news that her grandmother has breast cancer. Jenna

1066
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 5: gets sick and has an allergic reaction to medication that

1067
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 5: takes her out of working for a month. She holds

1068
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 5: up eating instant ramen to save money while she can't earn.

1069
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 10: Alone with her.

1070
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 5: Thoughts in her crappy apartment, she has thoughts of self harm.

1071
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 5: Despite having done the enormous lift of getting clean, leaving

1072
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 5: Las Vegas and Jack and getting her porn career back

1073
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 5: out of the mud, she doesn't feel the sense of

1074
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 5: accomplishment that she should. She knows that deep down she

1075
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 5: still desires a romantic partner, and that to accomplish this

1076
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 5: she'll have to leave her apartment and lower her guard.

1077
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 1: I needed to know that there was a warm, sentient

1078
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: human presence somewhere who would walk through my door at

1079
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: whatever hour, like my father arriving home from work when

1080
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: I was a child, and reassure me that someone on

1081
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: this earth actually cared about me.

1082
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 5: She recovers from being sick and shoots Priceless for wicked.

1083
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 5: Erotic thrillers are a hot trend in nineties Hollywood, and

1084
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:07,560
Speaker 5: so porn is also doing already neo noir thrillers. Priceless

1085
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,440
Speaker 5: has a black and white flashback and a plot inspired

01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 5: by Debt, again with shades of basic instinct.

1087
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 16: Jenna's facing murder one, but has the gnawing feeling that

1088
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 16: this has all happened before. Can she refute the charges

1089
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 16: and still lead an intriguing sex life Priceless tagline.

1090
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 5: Jenna gets to pick her Priceless co star and chooses

1091
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 5: Peter North. A Taurus. North is a Canadian woodman known

1092
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 5: for his large sized penis and ability to ejaculate on command.

1093
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 9: Your penis is also referred to as your Peter and

1094
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 9: when you are erect it faces North plus I am

1095
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 9: from the North. Peter North performer.

1096
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 5: Porn Alden Joseph Brown in Nova Scotia. North was discovered

1097
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 5: at a private party in la where he was modeling

1098
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 5: sportswear and drafted into gay porn. He worked gay for pay,

1099
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 5: bottoming in films under the name Matt Ramsey before doing

1100
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 5: straight porn as Peter North.

1101
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 9: It wasn't a part of my sexuality at all. I

1102
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 9: was only able to do it because of my strong

1103
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 9: mind and my physical ability to have control over my

1104
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 9: own body.

1105
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: Peter North Ross.

1106
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 5: In Priceless, Peter North plays a private dick on the

1107
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 5: trail of a femme fatale played by Jenna, a young

1108
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 5: widow who wears all white and is being accused of

1109
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 5: murdering her powerful male boss.

1110
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 9: You know, everyone thinks it would be so easy to

1111
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 9: stay hard on set, and it's not easy at all.

1112
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: Our scene was on the hood of a vintage automobile

1113
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: and it was phenomenal. When he began to fuck me,

1114
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: I was literally in shock. He tore me wide open

1115
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 1: so that it was impossible to do anything but be

1116
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: in the moment, and when.

1117
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:11,720
Speaker 10: He came, he covered the car and me.

1118
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 5: Priceless is a huge hit for Wicked, and Jenna gets

1119
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 5: her wish to be a box cover star. There's a

1120
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 5: big glamour shot of her face and color, smaller black

1121
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 5: and white pinup shots, and a clipped fake newspaper headline

1122
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 5: that says police seek new leads into bedroom killer suspect.

1123
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 7: Priceless launched the career of its star, blonde goddess Jenna Jamison,

1124
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 7: and in this you can see why her performance is remarkable,

1125
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 7: intense yet quiet, erotic yet innocent. Her matchup with Peter

1126
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 7: north Ranks is one of the best scenes in the industry.

1127
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 7: If you're interested in a video that tells a complex

1128
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 7: story with erotic overtones, then this is your movie. Priceless

1129
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 7: is indeed worth the price. Lenny Nero IMDb Reviews.

1130
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 5: Stephen Saint Croix is also in Priceless. He invites Jenna

1131
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 5: to be his date to a charity event and she accepts.

1132
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,680
Speaker 5: She's still shy at heart and hasn't interacted with other

1133
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 5: people for the last seven months outside of work. She

1134
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 5: clams up and clings to Stephen, who loves all the

1135
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 5: attention they get with Jenna on his arm. He drops

1136
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 5: her off at home and doesn't try to put a

1137
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 5: move on her that night, which piques her interest. They

1138
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 5: start dating after that. To celebrate the successive priceless Steve Ornstein,

1139
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 5: who Jenna has affectionately nicknamed Blinky because he's always squinting,

1140
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 5: buys Jenna her dream car, a black Corvette convertible.

1141
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: Slowly, I realize that they needed me as much as

1142
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,879
Speaker 1: I needed them. I could have some sort.

1143
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 10: Of control.

1144
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 5: To help control the arc and pace of her career.

1145
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 5: Janna gets the publicist named Joy King. Joy is surprised

1146
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 5: by how petit Jenna is in real life, since she

1147
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 5: seems larger than life on screen. They hit it off instantly,

1148
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 5: and Jenna finally has a best friend again, who, like Jenna,

1149
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 5: is a cool, bisexual nineties babe. Joy and Jenna start

1150
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 5: scheming how to advance Jenna's career and stardom.

1151
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,719
Speaker 1: It was clear to both Steve and me that making

1152
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: movies was only one part of the job. The rest

1153
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: was to promote myself to work the entire world as

1154
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: if it were just one big, crazy horse club. So

1155
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: Joy's number one objective was simple, to get my face

1156
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: in the media.

1157
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 5: Joy King, like Steve Ornstein's mom, also works as an

1158
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 5: accountant for porn. She started out bookkeeping for kids movies

1159
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 5: and ended up doing accounting for Caballero Home Video aka

1160
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,959
Speaker 5: the General Motors of Porn. She then becomes the publicist

1161
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 5: for Wicked Pictures. Stave Bornstein wants to keep raising the

1162
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 5: bar at Wicked, he green lights one hundred and twenty

1163
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 5: thousand dollars budget for a movie to be shot on

1164
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:14,559
Speaker 5: real film rather than video cameras. It is titled Blue Movie,

1165
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 5: no relation to the Andy Warhol art film, and it's

1166
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 5: the passion project of Michael Zen, a director who makes

1167
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 5: both gay and straight movies. Like Interview with a Vibrator,

1168
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 5: Blue Movie is about a transvestite director based on ed Wood.

1169
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 5: Drag queen Jackie Beet has a non sex speaking role.

1170
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 5: While Blue Movie has a huge budget for a porn

1171
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 5: it's still low budget. Jenna plays a journalist and tries

1172
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 5: her hardest to give a good performance. Now that VCRs

1173
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 5: enable viewers to skip past non sex scene parts, they

1174
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 5: mostly do, but there are still porn creatives who want

1175
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 5: to make narrative films where the sex is an extension

1176
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 5: of the plot and characters. They know that all almost

1177
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 5: no viewers finished watching after they finished themselves, but a

1178
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:09,680
Speaker 5: truly compelling pornographic film remains the dream. The first day

1179
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 5: on the set of Blue Movie, Jenna be friends a

1180
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 5: makeup artist named Lee Garland. Born James Santiago, a Capricorn,

1181
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 5: he became Lee Garland, a hammy and beloved gay man,

1182
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 5: recognizable by his jet black dyed hair and beard connected

1183
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 5: into thin sideburns. He does makeup and wigs on what's

1184
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 5: called both sides of the hill, Hollywood and Porn Valley.

1185
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 4: I'm a makeup artist, not a magician. Lee Garland makeup artist.

1186
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 17: He was, in fact a magician. He had a makeup

1187
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 17: brush for a wand, and his little designer bags full

1188
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 17: of potions and lotions and everything else. He was indeed

1189
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 17: a master. You could always tell when Lee was finished

1190
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 17: with his final girl. He disappeared just long enough so

1191
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 17: that you'd notice he was gone, and he'd come back

1192
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 17: with his squinty glazed eyes in his grin, and we

1193
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 17: knew he just smoked his off duty joint Brad Armstrong.

1194
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 5: Director Jenna is starstrek on set by Gina Fine, who

1195
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 5: worked with and dated her hero Savannah Michael Zen runs

1196
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 5: a tight professional set. Jenna feels finally like she's back

1197
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 5: on the right track.

1198
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 20: I perform in maybe fifteen sex scenes a month on film,

1199
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 20: and if I don't get my dosage of pussy daily,

1200
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 20: I did crazy and the chemicals start boiling inside.

1201
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 5: Night, Jenna meets her Blue Movie co star TT Boy

1202
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,759
Speaker 5: born Philip Troy Rivera in Puerto Rico on April thirtieth,

1203
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 5: nineteen sixty eight. A five foot seven Taurus te T

1204
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 5: Boy is known for a few things. He has a

1205
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 5: huge cock, he doesn't kiss, he hates getting blowjobs, and

1206
01:16:58,600 --> 01:16:59,759
Speaker 5: he fucks like a madman.

1207
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 3: I've lost plenty of work because women are afraid to

1208
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,839
Speaker 3: work with me. I'd be better off with a little

1209
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 3: eight inch prong.

1210
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 5: He also studied acting at the Lee Strasburg Institute. When

1211
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 5: Jenna sees him for the first time, he is wolfing

1212
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 5: down a can of tuna fish. Whatever plans Jenna might

1213
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 5: have had for the scene go sideways. When TT Boy

1214
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 5: arrives after a couple of minutes of foreplay, he just

1215
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 5: starts slamming her.

1216
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 10: They shoot take after.

1217
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 5: Take in every position, and he comes four times back

1218
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 5: to back Jenna and TT Boy become good friends after

1219
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 5: the scene. She says, despite his ravenousness on set, he's

1220
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 5: chivalrous in real life, offering to beat up her enemies

1221
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 5: for her. Jenna loves working with someone who can keep

1222
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 5: her on her toes during a scene and make sure

1223
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 5: that she isn't just fucking on autopilot. A lot of

1224
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,600
Speaker 5: the woodmen in porn are old, slimeballs or unprofessional, or

1225
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 5: thinks'll fall in love with them when they fuck, or

1226
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 5: can't keep it up on camera. Jenna respects te T

1227
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:10,680
Speaker 5: Boy because he is, like her, a true professional with

1228
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 5: a deep respect for the art form.

1229
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 1: There was such great camaraderie on set. It changed my

1230
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: entire view of the adult industry and showed me what

1231
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:26,600
Speaker 1: was possible if every piece was functioning properly.

1232
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 5: Gina Fine is cool at first, but on set for

1233
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 5: their sex scenes, she becomes robotic. Gina yells at the

1234
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 5: crew for making her work with someone as young as Jenna,

1235
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 5: which she feels emphasizes her age in comparison. Jenna celebrates

1236
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 5: her twenty first birthday on set.

1237
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 1: When I first began doing movies, it was so new

1238
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:52,120
