Speaker 1: Wow, I want to go out with you so bad.
Speaker 1: Please date me. I'll pay you to date me. Howard Stern, radio.
Speaker 2: Host, an actress is there for one to make you
Speaker 2: believe something right?
Speaker 3: That's exactly what Jenna does.
Speaker 4: But she does.
Speaker 3: It's so good that you can't help but believe it's
Speaker 3: really going on.
Speaker 1: I mean it's real, you know what I mean. T
Speaker 1: T Boy performer.
Speaker 2: These people are like a family, and I'm treated with
Speaker 2: incredible respect. I'm doing exactly what i want to do,
Speaker 2: and I'm making a lot of money.
Speaker 5: Jenna Jamison, Welcome to Jenna World. Welcome back to Jenna World.
Speaker 5: I'm your host, Molly Lambert. This is episode six, Climaxing.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget the first time I met Jenna sitting
Speaker 4: in his office and she's like this tiny little thing,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, this little girl, She's the next.
Speaker 6: Eh.
Speaker 4: Joy King, Wicked Pictures publicist.
Speaker 5: Jenna Jamison's publicist, Joy King has been trying to get
Speaker 5: Jenna on The Howard Stern Show for months. Stern is
Speaker 5: a Jewish broadcaster from Queens, New York, A lifelong radio
Speaker 5: obsessive who worked his way up through local broadcasting jobs
Speaker 5: to national talk radio fame in the eighties with his
Speaker 5: brash corney on air persona on The Howard Stern Show.
Speaker 5: He rails against censorship, does character bits like fart Man,
Speaker 5: and subjects celebrities and civilians alike to an invasive gauntlet
Speaker 5: of intimate questioning. He's respected as a legitimately great interviewer
Speaker 5: and a genius at Huxterism, which relies on stoking public outrage.
Speaker 5: His controversial statements and bookings only draw more ears he'll
Speaker 5: do anything to promote himself in the show. He gets
Speaker 5: fined by the FCC for indecency, then sells cassettes of
Speaker 5: the band material racist, misogynist, homophobic stuff and and frank jokes,
Speaker 5: earning him as rep as a shock jock. Howard Stern's
Speaker 5: been trying to cross over into TV and film for years,
Speaker 5: but nobody in Hollywood seems to get exactly how to
Speaker 5: translate what he's been doing in radio to other mediums.
Speaker 5: He's tapped to host the Late Night Show and films
Speaker 5: five pilots for the Fox Network, none of which make
Speaker 5: it to air. Since he can't get in the front door,
Speaker 5: Stern in vents a backdoor taping his own TV specials
Speaker 5: starting with nineteen eighty eight s Howard Stern's Neglige and
Speaker 5: Underpants party and selling them on pay per view, which
Speaker 5: airs private telecasts of stuff like wrestling, Broadway shows, and
Speaker 5: softcore porn. By going around the networks, Stern burnishes his
Speaker 5: renegade image and can show half naked women. In nineteen
Speaker 5: ninety two, Stern puts out a mill order videotape called
Speaker 5: butt Bongo Fiesa and makes ten million dollars in independent
Speaker 5: VHS sales. He positions himself as a disgusting every man
Speaker 5: horndog whose clout gives him access to out of his
Speaker 5: league babes. He sells his listeners a fantasy that they
Speaker 5: could be just like him, which they can't because Sterne's
Speaker 5: talent is that he's very smart at being stupid. By
Speaker 5: the early nineties, Howard Stern is the self proclaimed King
Speaker 5: of All Media, a riff on Michael Jackson being dubbed
Speaker 5: the King of Pop. In nineteen ninety three, Stern gets
Speaker 5: a million dollar advanced from Simon and Schuster for his
Speaker 5: first book, titled Private Parts. After Stern's first title suggestion
Speaker 5: mind settling Accounts is ruled out. Private Parts is a
Speaker 5: huge bestseller. Jenna and her publicist Joy King don't listen
Speaker 5: to Stern, but Wicked Steve Ornstein is a huge fan.
Speaker 5: All three want to tap into Howard Stern's key demo
Speaker 5: of straight dudes who watch porn. They just need to
Speaker 5: get Jenna's huge new tits in the door. Joy reaches
Speaker 5: out constantly to pitch Jenna to Stern, but never hears back.
Speaker 5: One day, they're at Wicked Pictures office looking at selects
Speaker 5: of Jenna showing off sex toys for an Adam and
Speaker 5: Eve print ad Adam and Eve is a mail order
Speaker 5: condom and sex toy company started in nineteen seventy by
Speaker 5: two North Carolina med students to help prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Speaker 5: It was illegal to sell condoms by mail until nineteen
Speaker 5: seventy two. They also sell diaphragms, dildos, and personal massagers
Speaker 5: aka vibrators. Adam and Eve and San Francisco's Good Vibrations
Speaker 5: demonstrate that adult stores don't have to be scusy jack
Speaker 5: off booths. They can be nice, clean, overly well lit
Speaker 5: boutiques that happen to also sell strap ons. By the nineties,
Speaker 5: Adam and Eve is one of the oldest US sex
Speaker 5: toy companies and promoting condom use in safe sex has
Speaker 5: become both mandatory and chic due to the AIDS crisis.
Speaker 5: Suck my Dick from Hell, Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 3: I think that it is something that's part of human sexuality,
Speaker 3: and it's part of something that perhaps should be taught.
Speaker 3: But we've not even taught our children the very basics.
Speaker 3: And I feel that we have tried ignorance for a
Speaker 3: very long time, and it's time we try education. Jocelyn Elders,
Speaker 3: US Surgeon General.
Speaker 5: In nineteen ninety four, Joscelyn Elders, the first black US
Speaker 5: Surgeon General, is fired from the Bill Clinton administration for
Speaker 5: suggesting that masturbation be taught in sex ed, which is
Speaker 5: obviously rich coming from fucking Bill Clinton. During the safe
Speaker 5: sex nineties, there's a media wave of discussion about what
Speaker 5: constitutes fun, healthy, good, old all American sexual intercourse. Nineties
Speaker 5: porn stars like Jenna platform the still taboo idea that
Speaker 5: women have sexual appetites too, and that porn can be
Speaker 5: an aid for masturbation, which is a healthy and normal activity.
Speaker 5: In one Adam and Eve photo, Jenna is in a
Speaker 5: silly mood, holding a dildo between her boobs, sticking her
Speaker 5: tongue out, and pointing a finger gun at her head.
Speaker 5: It's cute and says sex doesn't have to be so serious.
Speaker 5: It is the goofy pick of Jenna in the giant
Speaker 5: stack of random press releases he gets sent every week
Speaker 5: that catches Howard Stern's personal attention and gets her booked
Speaker 5: on the show, which tapes in New York. It's Jenna's
Speaker 5: first time ever leaving the Western United States. By nineteen
Speaker 5: ninety five, the Howard Stern Radio Show has now become
Speaker 5: a cable TV show, airing on the E Entertainment channel, which,
Speaker 5: like other cable channel, is willing to show more lascivious
Speaker 5: content than network TV. Like any filmed podcast, the visual
Speaker 5: aspect is mostly unnecessary, but you get to watch Stern
Speaker 5: work and hear co host Robin Quivers laughing at jokes.
Speaker 5: The appeal for E is that TV provides listeners a
Speaker 5: chance to see the hot girls and freaks Stern has
Speaker 5: on the air. Jenna is scared as hell to go
Speaker 5: on the hottest mic around. Stern has adult starlits on
Speaker 5: all the time, mainly to giggle gamely and say oh
Speaker 5: my god Howard when he calls them dumb sluts and
Speaker 5: asks how big their bras are. Jenna wants to come
Speaker 5: off smart and funny, but there's a chance she'll revert
Speaker 5: to being shy, or that Howard will dress her down
Speaker 5: without any room for her to rebut the dumb slut
Speaker 5: allegations with the truth that she's smart and it's fine
Speaker 5: to be a slut.
Speaker 4: Howard Stern was pivotal in my career.
Speaker 5: To hold one's own with Howard Stern, you have to
Speaker 5: treat talking like a sport. You can't be polite or
Speaker 5: wait for your turn. Jenna is quick witted when she's comfortable,
Speaker 5: but she's more nervous about her Stern debut than she
Speaker 5: was for up and comers. As with porn, she knows
Speaker 5: the guy might try to humiliate her and she'll need
Speaker 5: to stand her ground until she earns his respect. To
Speaker 5: feel relaxed going into the studio, instead of stripper gear,
Speaker 5: she wears a hot gurl next door outfit, going braliss
Speaker 5: in a cropped mockneck, white T shirt and high waisted,
Speaker 5: lightwashed jeans. Her long blonde hair is worn naturally wavy
Speaker 5: instead of blow dried stick straight. She has a necklace on,
Speaker 5: and her Jena makeup uniform of a dark smoky eye
Speaker 5: with a frosted lip. She looks cute. Hot is intimidating.
Speaker 5: Cute is approachable. It's not just that she's pandering to
Speaker 5: the audience's desire to imagine they could talk to a
Speaker 5: girl like Jenna. Dressing casually helps build her case that
Speaker 5: porn stars are normal people doing an unusual job. Offset
Speaker 5: they're not on all the time. She's there to promote
Speaker 5: her wuld pictures titles like nineteen ninety five's Virtual Reality
Speaker 5: sixty nine, whose German title is Cyber Newton.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm looking at these pictures and her pictures.
Speaker 1: This girl could be a model. I mean, she doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be in porno.
Speaker 7: She's certainly pretty.
Speaker 1: Look I mean, she must have had one screwed up childhood. Man,
Speaker 1: she's probably got a great story in her She had
Speaker 1: to be molested or something.
Speaker 7: Well, she says she's from Las Vegas, and everybody I've
Speaker 7: ever known that's been from Las Vegas. It's very strange.
Speaker 1: Look at her, man, she could be a high paid
Speaker 1: fashion model, very cute. It doesn't look any different than
Speaker 1: like those Calvin Klein ads or a guess ad or something.
Speaker 5: On October twenty seventh, nineteen ninety five, Jenna guests on
Speaker 5: The Howard Stern Show for the first time. They put
Speaker 5: a camera on her as she walks down the generic
Speaker 5: office hallway into the show studio to tape. She looks
Speaker 5: right into the camera nervously and puts fingerguns to her head.
Speaker 5: When Jenna gets in the booth and puts the headphones
Speaker 5: on to face Howard Stern, all her preparation is tested.
Speaker 1: Wait, let me take a real hard look at you. Wow,
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I'm looking at your pictures. You
Speaker 1: could be a model.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: You're twenty one years old. Yeah, you made your breasts
Speaker 1: really big.
Speaker 6: Yeah I did.
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes I look at porno movies. I go, man,
Speaker 1: that girl is so good looking. How could you be
Speaker 1: in porno movies? I mean, I can't figure it out,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Right, Like, listen, I have
Speaker 1: a lot of porno stars in here, but a lot
Speaker 1: of them I reject because it's like, you know, how
Speaker 1: many times can you have a porno star? But then
Speaker 1: I saw your pictures and you were such a piece
Speaker 1: of ass. I mean, look at this. Is that a
Speaker 1: modeling ad or what I thought that was? You know,
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated. So then I said, she's got to have
Speaker 1: a really screwed up story because she's so damn beautiful,
Speaker 1: Like I see beautiful women in these pornos, like go,
Speaker 1: how the hell do they get them to have like
Speaker 1: wild monkey sex in these pornos? You have to have
Speaker 1: a really screwed up childhood? Right?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: Actually, oh, come on, something happened. My dad was a
Speaker 1: cop and he never molested you.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a rebellious thing. Were they strict with you?
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 6: What happened?
Speaker 1: You just ran wild because you had no supervision whatsoever. Not?
Speaker 6: Really, there you go.
Speaker 5: Jenna quickly clocks that Stern is doing a character on
Speaker 5: the air. He is doing Howard Stern on his show
Speaker 5: like she is Jenna Jamison in her movies. Stern's radio
Speaker 5: persona is a caricatureish exaggerated version of his ID. He
Speaker 5: asks Jenna about her wicked paychecks and early sexual experiences.
Speaker 5: She tells a story about sexually experimenting with a cheerleading teammate.
Speaker 1: Wow, I want to go out with you so bad.
Speaker 1: Please date me. I'll pay you, Toda Amy.
Speaker 5: You don't care whether the girl wants you for herself
Speaker 5: or not.
Speaker 6: You just want the girl.
Speaker 1: I just love to go out with you. I'd like
Speaker 1: to take you to parties, you know, be seen with you.
Speaker 1: Have you walk in in tight little dresses you know. Oh,
Speaker 1: it'd be so much fun. Want to come to Scores?
Speaker 4: Yeah I do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going there today.
Speaker 4: I've heard about it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's not going to be like Savannah in a
Speaker 6: couple of years.
Speaker 1: Oh no, who cares? I don't.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 1: What what you mean, Like she's gonna kill herself? Nah?
Speaker 1: Not if she's with me, she won't. I'm gonna lock
Speaker 1: her in a box.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 1: I'd love to tie you to the bed. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: Do you like that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I do.
Speaker 1: Do you like sex or are you like burnout on guys?
Speaker 4: I love sex.
Speaker 5: The whole Stern crew acts completely befuddled that a girl
Speaker 5: as beautiful as Jenna would do corn rather than get
Speaker 5: into regular modeling or mainstream acting. The interview climaxes with
Speaker 5: Howard asking Jenna to pull her pants down. She obliges.
Speaker 5: Post show, Jenna chugs the bottled water in the Stern
Speaker 5: break room backstage there's a little Halloween banner hung up
Speaker 5: on the wall of a spooky crow that says happy Haunting.
Speaker 5: Baba Booey does the post show run down.
Speaker 4: I was in there for two hours, so.
Speaker 7: Why don't you tell me what happened?
Speaker 4: We talked.
Speaker 1: You said you were a big.
Speaker 7: Fan of his, So what'd you think about meeting him?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 4: Oh, he's great, he's a really nice guy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it didn't ruin your image of him or anything?
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, he's perfect.
Speaker 7: Was it real flattering that he thought you were really
Speaker 7: hot and he was telling you should be doing like
Speaker 7: regular modeling instead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's always nice to hear.
Speaker 7: So why went to do regular modeling? The stead too shorter?
Speaker 4: Because I like what I'm doing. I like porn.
Speaker 7: So you weren't nervous at all?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was nervous, you know, But no problem. He's a
Speaker 2: really nice guy.
Speaker 5: As soon as they're off, Mike Stern drops his on
Speaker 5: the air act and is respectful to Jenna. He invites
Speaker 5: her to an after party at the New York strip
Speaker 5: club Scores. At Scores, Girls Swarm Howard, but he only
Speaker 5: talks to Jenna. He says he bets she gives a
Speaker 5: better lap dance than anyone there. Jenna weighs the idea
Speaker 5: of giving a man she now considers a show business
Speaker 5: pierre a lap dance. Everyone's champagne drunk, and she decides
Speaker 5: it's fine. She gives Howard a brief friendly lap dance
Speaker 5: and says the part of his show persona where he
Speaker 5: says his dick is tiny, is also fake.
Speaker 10: Hey bubba booye.
Speaker 2: Any hot girl could get on the show and get humiliated.
Speaker 2: But I had aced it and they loved me.
Speaker 5: The Howard Stern Show wants to book Jenna again asap,
Speaker 5: and she returns for a second episode in nineteen ninety
Speaker 5: six with her father Larry Mozzoli as a special guest.
Speaker 1: So your daughter is very beautiful. I mean I actually
Speaker 1: pleasure myself to her image. So I want to thank
Speaker 1: you for having her. I've watched the show, Howard. I
Speaker 1: find her really attractive. If I could find a way
Speaker 1: from my wife to die of cancer, I would marry Jenna.
Speaker 1: If you would have me, I'd love to have you
Speaker 1: as a son in law. At what age do you realize, man,
Speaker 1: my daughter's a piece of ass. Well I didn't put
Speaker 1: it quite that way, did you. Have to fight guys
Speaker 1: off and say, hey, that's my daughter. You better behave yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh all the time.
Speaker 11: I mean when they came over to pick up Jenna
Speaker 11: from the house, a lot of the time I'd answered
Speaker 11: the door in uniform.
Speaker 1: Oh you were a cop. I was a cop. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that for nineteen years.
Speaker 11: I retired in eighty six, decid to make some money instead,
Speaker 11: and I came home.
Speaker 1: Alive, and that was good, you know.
Speaker 11: But actually Jenna had a very normal life, except for
Speaker 11: the fact that I intimidated all of her boyfriends.
Speaker 1: And you are a huge man. Are you well blessed
Speaker 1: in that area as well? Well? I am Italian. Were
Speaker 1: you ever attracted to your own daughter in a bizarre way?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 4: Oh, god, I knew that was good.
Speaker 11: My philosophy is anyone who wants to have sex with
Speaker 11: their own children should put a cap in their brain.
Speaker 11: I mean, when I look at Jenna, I see her
Speaker 11: when I changed her diapers. You know, I never watched
Speaker 11: the movies, and I've never seen a dance.
Speaker 5: Jenna's making good on her word to Steve Ornstein that
Speaker 5: she'd make herself a household name. Now, every horny man
Speaker 5: who listens to the Howard Stern Show knows who she is.
Speaker 5: When Jenna World returns, Jenna takes the French Riviera by storm.
Speaker 5: Oh my God, Welcome back to Jenna World.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 2: I'm Jenna Jamison and I'm reporting to you from can France,
Speaker 2: where the biggest celebrities in the world have gathered to
Speaker 2: spend a week sunning, partying, and watching movies.
Speaker 5: Twenty one year old Jenna leaves America for the first
Speaker 5: time to go to France. She's nominated for a Hot Door,
Speaker 5: an adult awards show that takes place at the same
Speaker 5: time as the Can Film Festival, much like the AVIN
Speaker 5: Awards used to happen at the same time in Vegas
Speaker 5: as the Consumer Electronics Show, so that computer nerds would
Speaker 5: come spend money on porn. The idea is to mingle
Speaker 5: adult film stars and horny European film guys with spending money,
Speaker 5: of which there are a lot. From nineteen ninety two
Speaker 5: on the Hot Doors are thrown in tandem with can
Speaker 5: By Hot Video, a French porn trade magazine that's like
Speaker 5: the European version of Adult Video News. Unlike in America,
Speaker 5: in Europe, both on film and on the Riviera's beaches,
Speaker 5: you can famously show tits. The adult stars splay out
Speaker 5: naked on the riviera's beaches, attracting gawkers and paparazzi, although
Speaker 5: seaside nudity is normal and desexualized. There the Hot Doors
Speaker 5: host party to provide more chances for the canned folks
Speaker 5: to mingle with porn stars. There's a yacht party funded
Speaker 5: by Sweden's private media group, where adult stars pose on
Speaker 5: a boat.
Speaker 2: I could get off the plane and be anyone I wanted.
Speaker 2: I could be an untouchable icon, a slutty party girl,
Speaker 2: an uptight prude with a dark side, or the living
Speaker 2: embodiment of the fantasies of every male in the Western
Speaker 2: world and some of the females too.
Speaker 5: Jenna is in Can with her publicist Joy, her boss
Speaker 5: Deve Bornstein, and a couple of other wicked girls, former
Speaker 5: teacher Julie Ashton and Kaylin, Queen of Vaanel Nicole.
Speaker 2: Flash Bulbs went off everywhere. The paparazzi screamed and fought
Speaker 2: to take pictures of me, even though they had no
Speaker 2: idea who I was. It was so overwhelming and disorienting
Speaker 2: being pushed through the admiring crowd toward a waiting limo.
Speaker 2: I knew for the first time what an actual celebrity
Speaker 2: must feel like.
Speaker 5: Looking back, Jenna can see that she was starting to
Speaker 5: get addicted to the attention from cameras. In place of
Speaker 5: seeking one on one sexual validation, she starts to seek
Speaker 5: public approval. Fame is her new drug, one that goes
Speaker 5: with being a workaholic who craves constant praise. The more
Speaker 5: successful she gets, Jenna says, the more self absorbed she
Speaker 5: starts to become. The girls are herded into a limo
Speaker 5: that speeds them off to their new digs at the
Speaker 5: Royal Casino Hotel. Jenna has been in a lot of
Speaker 5: hotel casinos, but they were all vagus facsimiles of places
Speaker 5: like this, an upscale European luxury hotel off the picturesque
Speaker 5: coast of can Her first work obligation is a press conference.
Speaker 5: She knows the other girls will be wearing skimpy outfits,
Speaker 5: so Jenna decides to set herself apart, wearing a blue
Speaker 5: suit from Versace. She's getting better on Mike too. Acing
Speaker 5: the hot doors press conference outside, folks clamor for her
Speaker 5: autograph because they mistake her for Pamela Anderson. An official
Speaker 5: autograph session takes place in a basement. Jenna flips through
Speaker 5: an official can program guide and sees her own face
Speaker 5: and an ad for Wicked Pictures. A husband and wife
Speaker 5: team who are making a can travel show for the
Speaker 5: E Network interview Jenna. She's gotten so good on camera
Speaker 5: that they ask her to host their festival coverage and
Speaker 5: send her to the red carpet trenches to interview any
Speaker 5: famous people she can find. They film her walking along
Speaker 5: the beach on the French Riviera, wearing an iridescent pink
Speaker 5: Halter top in jeans, eating an ice cream bar.
Speaker 4: Perception I quickly learned is reality.
Speaker 5: They shoot a sequence where they pretend to catch Jenna midshower.
Speaker 2: Well right now, as you can see, I'm in the
Speaker 2: shower and I'm rushing to get to the awards.
Speaker 6: I kind of woke up late.
Speaker 2: I've been sleeping late lately, so I'm rushing and you
Speaker 2: caught me in a very awkward moment.
Speaker 5: Increasingly, Jenna feels like she's been chosen for stardom by fate.
Speaker 5: There is tremendous validation for her self concept and being
Speaker 5: on television, Being on Howard Stern helped her prove to
Speaker 5: herself and others that she was worth listening to. Being
Speaker 5: on E helps her prove that she's worth watching outside
Speaker 5: of porn. She celebrates her latest accomplishments by going clubbing.
Speaker 5: There's no air conditioning in France, so everyone is sweaty
Speaker 5: as hell and dancing to house music. People are also
Speaker 5: having public sex in the club. Jenna and the other
Speaker 5: porn girls wear bikinis and dance up on the bar.
Speaker 5: Her confidence is so sky high she picks out a
Speaker 5: French waiter to bring back to her hotel room. As
Speaker 5: is her tradition. They do foreplay in the clubs broom,
Speaker 5: then go back to the hotel to fuck all night.
Speaker 5: She gets uncomfortable when the waiter tries to cuddle her
Speaker 5: afterwards because it's too intimate. Then he tells her he's
Speaker 5: a teenager and Jenna gets totally grossed out. Ye Huck,
Speaker 5: a mainstream film director invites Jenna to a can film premiere.
Speaker 5: She goes out and splurges on a four thousand dollars
Speaker 5: black dress from the local Valentino boutique to wear the
Speaker 5: same year, Sharon Stone shows up for a can premiere
Speaker 5: in a mint green long Valentino skirt in hot Pan.
Speaker 2: Someone suddenly screamed Jenna, and the pandemonium began.
Speaker 4: It was a moment I wanted to last forever. It
Speaker 4: felt like I had arrived.
Speaker 5: Jenna wins Best New Starlet at the Hot Doors. Having
Speaker 5: achieved one name status at record speed, she instantly sets
Speaker 5: herself a new horizon, Hollywood.
Speaker 2: It was the first time I'd accomplished anything in my
Speaker 2: life that didn't involve taking off my clothes. I was
Speaker 2: completely enamored with the sight of my own image on television.
Speaker 5: Back home in La Jenna watches The e Can Special
Speaker 5: in bed with her boyfriend, Stephen Saint Croix. She never
Speaker 5: watches her own porns, but she can't look away from
Speaker 5: her beautiful reflection on the TV screen. Mainstream success feels
Speaker 5: inevitable to her because of all the attention she got
Speaker 5: in Can. Her boyfriend thinks she's starting to get a
Speaker 5: big head. Jenna won't stand for a man who belittles
Speaker 5: her achievements, even if she does keep weirdly referring to
Speaker 5: herself now as a star. She breaks up with Stephen
Speaker 5: Saint Croix and doesn't look back. Anyone who wants to
Speaker 5: be with Jenna has to realize that her career will
Speaker 5: take precedence right now while her stardom shoots up into space.
Speaker 5: She wins at the X Rated Critics Organization Awards, the
Speaker 5: Night Moves Award, Words, and the Fans of X Rated
Speaker 5: Entertainment Awards. She racks up nominations for the thirteenth annual
Speaker 5: Adult Video News Awards, the Oscars of Porn, which she
Speaker 5: is also asked to co host. She will return to
Speaker 5: Las Vegas or the Adult Video News Awards as a
Speaker 5: conquering hero. Jenna invites her father to be her ABN's date.
Speaker 5: He's left Redding and is in and out of touch again.
Speaker 5: Her brother updates her that their grandmother has throat cancer
Speaker 5: and his wife had a hysterectomy. Jenna's relationship with her
Speaker 5: family has turned into something more functional but also transactional,
Speaker 5: exchanging information with her brother and sending money to her dad,
Speaker 5: who agrees to come to Vegas as her date if
Speaker 5: she wires him some cash for the trip.
Speaker 2: Despite everything, I wanted my father to see me win.
Speaker 2: I wanted him to know that I was no longer
Speaker 2: a little girl who couldn't take care of herself. I
Speaker 2: wanted him to see that I was successful and respect
Speaker 2: I did and admired. I've wanted him to be proud
Speaker 2: of me. I've wanted him to care.
Speaker 5: For the nineteen ninety six Adult Video News Awards, Jenna
Speaker 5: wears a silver halterneck top and matching miniskirt made of
Speaker 5: slinky faux chainmail, most likely by Versace. She sports her
Speaker 5: signature smoky eye, pink frosted lip, and a high ponytail
Speaker 5: with a breed. The look is a space age sex
Speaker 5: babe like Barberella. The nineteen ninety six ABMs are at
Speaker 5: the Aladdin Hotel, which was later imploded and redeveloped into
Speaker 5: Planet Hollywood, where Britney Spears was kept hostage during her
Speaker 5: Piece of Me residency. The thirteenth annual ABNS are co
Speaker 5: hosted by comedian Bobby Slayton. Slayton is the first ever comedian.
Speaker 6: To host the awards show.
Speaker 5: It's also the first time the general public is allowed
Speaker 5: to attend what has previously been a private event just
Speaker 5: for those in the porn industry. The slogan of the
Speaker 5: thirteenth AVIEN Awards is give me Liberty. Free speech is
Speaker 5: trending with Howard Stern in nineteen ninety six is The
Speaker 5: People Versus Larry Flint about the censorship battles at Hustler
Speaker 5: Magazine as part of the effort to promote the porn
Speaker 5: industry to the general public. For the first time ever,
Speaker 5: the Adult Video News Awards are taped and broadcast on
Speaker 5: the pay per view adult channel Spice Network. When I
Speaker 5: went to the AVNS years ago, they did the smartest
Speaker 5: thing I've ever seen in an award show, which is
Speaker 5: to start the show with the in memoriam segment where
Speaker 5: there's a slide show of people of the industry who
Speaker 5: passed on that year. It gets everyone quiet and seeded,
Speaker 5: gets the show's sad emotional low point over with, and
Speaker 5: then breaks the tension immediately with jokes. Jenna co hosts
Speaker 5: the thirteenth annual Avian Awards with Bobby Slayton and Julia Ann,
Speaker 5: a porn star from Glendale who was in a feature
Speaker 5: dancing duo called Blondage with Jeanine Linda Molder. More on
Speaker 5: Janine later, Blondage's big finale was set to three dog Nights.
Speaker 5: Never been to Spain and off of Blondage, Julia Anne
Speaker 5: and Janine were both scouted into becoming Vivid Girls.
Speaker 13: Jenna Jamison, Wicked One, Wicked Pictures.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Brad Armstrong, Greg Steele, you guys made
Speaker 2: this happen. They sat with me for weeks and worked
Speaker 2: with me on this role. It was my baby and
Speaker 2: this is just topping it all off. Thank you, very
Speaker 2: very much.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Jenna becomes the first performer to win Best New Starlet
Speaker 5: and Best Actress the same year. She poses with her
Speaker 5: Avian Award and pulls up her top to partially expose
Speaker 5: her left breast. She remembers that when Savannah won, she
Speaker 5: gave a very antagonistic speech, but Jenna is gracious. Rock
Speaker 5: gos to Freddie becomes first to male performer of the
Speaker 5: year two years in a row. Jenna's father remarks that
Speaker 5: as an adult, Jenna looks just like her mother. Now,
Speaker 5: Jenna understands that looking at her brings back traumatic memories
Speaker 5: of Judy Massuli for him. Because of the resemblance. She
Speaker 5: accepts him as a flawed human and chooses to forgive
Speaker 5: him for the chaotic aspects of her childhood. Larry Missuli
Speaker 5: is very proud of his daughter for her accomplishments, as
Speaker 5: unusual as they may be.
Speaker 2: My life is at a fucking peak. There's nowhere to
Speaker 2: go from here but down.
Speaker 5: After the AVNS, Jenna is too tired to party after
Speaker 5: co hosting and winning all night. She's twenty one years
Speaker 5: old and at the peak of the porn industry, looking
Speaker 5: out over the illuminated night neon of the Vegas Strip
Speaker 5: from a penthouse at the very top. Why would Jenna
Speaker 5: ever look down to see how far she could fall?
Speaker 2: Well, when you are twenty one and have the kind
Speaker 2: of power I did, you enjoy brandishing it.
Speaker 5: But success is also starting to change her personality in
Speaker 5: Savannah like ways. She develops a huge ego, thinking anything
Speaker 5: she does will turn to enormous profits. She starts to
Speaker 5: lose track of where Jenna Mizzoli ends and Jenna Jamison
Speaker 5: begins the bad Jenna starts winning out over the good one.
Speaker 5: She starts behaving like a diva on set, breaking the
Speaker 5: first rule of filmmaking, never disrespect the crew. As word
Speaker 5: gets around that Wicked's Golden Girl has become difficult to
Speaker 5: work with, Steve Ornstein gives her a talking to.
Speaker 6: You.
Speaker 10: You have to understand, Jenna, you are in the spotlight.
Speaker 10: You are the spokesperson for this industry. A lot of
Speaker 10: people look up to you, so you have to watch
Speaker 10: what you say. I'm not asking you to change the
Speaker 10: person that you are, but just think before you talk.
Speaker 10: Steve Orenstein, Wicked Pictures.
Speaker 5: Not everyone is a fan of Jenna. A lot of
Speaker 5: men who cover the adult business are gross guys who
Speaker 5: feel ownership over women they see on screen. They don't
Speaker 5: like it when girls they've jacked it to mouth off.
Speaker 5: This is what happens when Jenna meets a writer named
Speaker 5: al Goldstein.
Speaker 9: I may be making a lot of money, but I
Speaker 9: really believe I'm doing some good bye demathologizing a lot
Speaker 9: about sexuality. Al Goldstein Screw Magazine.
Speaker 5: Alvin al Goldstein is a New York Jew and a Capricorn.
Speaker 5: His first hustles included driving taxis, selling encyclopedias, and running
Speaker 5: a carnival game. With the nineteen sixty four World's Fair,
Speaker 5: he wrote for The New York Free Press, the East
Speaker 5: Coast spinoff of the hip underground newspaper the La Free Press.
Speaker 5: In nineteen sixty eight, al Goldstein and a partner found
Speaker 5: Screw Magazine, which publishes pictures as well as reviews of
Speaker 5: Times Square, peep shows, massage, parlors and escort services.
Speaker 9: Screw grew from a combination of many factories, chief of
Speaker 9: which was my own dissatisfaction with the sex literature of
Speaker 9: nineteen sixty eight and my yearning for a publication that
Speaker 9: reflected my sexual appetites.
Speaker 5: At its peak, Screw sells one hundred and forty thousand
Speaker 5: copies weekly for twenty five cents a pop. Al Goldstein
Speaker 5: gets arrested on obscenity charges nineteen times. He's prosecuted in Wichita,
Speaker 5: Kansas due to venue shopping. The court cases clean out
Speaker 5: his pockets but create publicity for Al Goldstein, who paints
Speaker 5: himself as a free speech champion. Goldstein believes he was
Speaker 5: being punished for running an article about Jay Edgar Hoover's
Speaker 5: sexuality with a gay slur in the title. When the
Speaker 5: federal case against him dismissed, he flies the jury out
Speaker 5: to New York sex club Plato's Retreat to celebrate. Goldstein
Speaker 5: writes a rave review for Deep Throat that sparks the
Speaker 5: publicity storm. After the movie dies in its first run
Speaker 5: in La Deep Throat is brought back to New York's
Speaker 5: World Theater, where it sets box office records. Goldstein stokes
Speaker 5: the fire over adult films and censorship that lead to
Speaker 5: deep throats obscenity trials, and sets the template for the
Speaker 5: publicity machine around porn.
Speaker 9: I was never so moved by any theatrical performance since
Speaker 9: stuttering through my own bar mitzvah.
Speaker 5: Al Goldstein's portfolio expands to spin offs like Smut Magazine
Speaker 5: and Death Magazine, which lasted four issues. He starts a
Speaker 5: screw studio that produces porn in a local public access
Speaker 5: TV show called Midnight Blue, which pioneers the format of
Speaker 5: weird Horny Guy interviews super hot girls that also becomes
Speaker 5: Howard Stern signature.
Speaker 6: On Midnight Blue, Al.
Speaker 5: Goldstein interviews people like Honeysuckle Divine, a former Novice nun
Speaker 5: who became a Times Square stripper. Honeysuckle Divine also worked
Speaker 5: as an s in DC, claiming to have serviced Lyndon B.
Speaker 5: Johnson's Gigantic Hog.
Speaker 12: After I'd been in Washington a couple of years, I
Speaker 12: met the President. I'd been screwing one of his aids,
Speaker 12: and this guy told me about the President, and then
Speaker 12: I screwed one of his relatives. So the President must
Speaker 12: have heard about me from these people. Honeysuckle Divine artists.
Speaker 5: Women who fucked presidents. Those are my presidents. Honeysuckle Divine
Speaker 5: wasn't a very good dancer, so she came up with
Speaker 5: a gimmick inserting objects like ping pong balls and pickles
Speaker 5: into her vagina on stage and shooting them out. After
Speaker 5: the show, she bagged the pickles and sold them to
Speaker 5: the audience. All let Honeysuckle Divine describe her own routine.
Speaker 12: I started by wheeling out my shopping cart full of surprises.
Speaker 12: The first thing I did was stick a mop handle
Speaker 12: in my puss and clean the stage floor. Then I
Speaker 12: pulled the mop handle my puss and made a lot.
Speaker 6: Of pussy farts.
Speaker 12: The audience always gotta laugh out of that. I made
Speaker 12: my puss sound like a duck. I'd say I fucked
Speaker 12: the duck and the ducks still in there. I lit
Speaker 12: a candle with a match, then extinguished the flame with
Speaker 12: my puss. Then I'd blow out the flame from three
Speaker 12: candles all at once. After that, I put three candles
Speaker 12: in my puss, lit them, and stood on my head.
Speaker 12: I'd count down and blast off the candles shy out
Speaker 12: of my puss like a rocket. I'd call that pussy propulsion.
Speaker 12: After the candles, I smoked a cigarette in my puss
Speaker 12: and blew smoke rings in time with Glenn Miller's swing music.
Speaker 12: This is an old time trick for the smoker stag parties.
Speaker 12: I used to be afraid of cancer because of the smoke.
Speaker 12: Then I poured Jurgen's lotion into my parts, which I
Speaker 12: then shoot twenty feet into the air. The guys within
Speaker 12: shooting range scatter in all directions. I joked that the
Speaker 12: guys were closed to me are in the combat zone.
Speaker 12: Then I put talcum powder in my pussy, which I
Speaker 12: blow out in big white clouds. Then I shoot ping
Speaker 12: punk balls out. The powder gives me better grip on
Speaker 12: the balls so I can shoot them fifteen.
Speaker 6: To twenty feet.
Speaker 12: I prepare each ball carefully. I write Honeysuckle, Love your
Speaker 12: balls on them, and then I wrap the meat jump
Speaker 12: in a baggie to keep the autograph dry so whoever
Speaker 12: catches them can keep them as souvenirs.
Speaker 5: Becoming a vaginal prop comedian takes Honeysuckle Divine from Times
Speaker 5: Square fixture to touring headliner. She is the official mascot
Speaker 5: of Screw, the countercultural counterpart to the Playboy Bunny. Screw
Speaker 5: never achieves the financial heights of its successor, Hustler, founded
Speaker 5: by Goldstein's best friend Larry Flint, But like Larry Flint,
Speaker 5: Al Goldstein does publicity stunts to further his free speech reputation.
Speaker 5: In nineteen ninety two, he puts up a billboard announcing
Speaker 5: he's running for sheriff and Broward County against Nick Navarro,
Speaker 5: the Florida sheriff who became famous for arresting the Miami
Speaker 5: based group Two Live Crew on obscenity charges for their
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty nine smash hit album As Nasty As They
Speaker 5: Want to Be. He does not follow through with the campaign.
Speaker 5: Joy King sets up Jenna for a penthouse interview with
Speaker 5: Al Goldstein, but she instantly finds him creepy. When he
Speaker 5: suggests Jenna should do a sexual favor to get in
Speaker 5: the magazine, Jenna walks away mid interview. Goldstein retaliates by
Speaker 5: publishing an anti Jenna editorial in Screw, calling her a
Speaker 5: spoiled bitch, attempting to degrade her with his pen. Jenna
Speaker 5: is appalled. The success she thought would provide her control
Speaker 5: also means giving up her privacy. When Jenna World returns,
Speaker 5: Jenna falls in love. Oh my God, Welcome back to
Speaker 5: Jenna World. While she'd been stunned and enchanted by the
Speaker 5: blinding flashbulbs of the cameras, it can now that she
Speaker 5: is in the spotlight. She can see the darkness surrounding her.
Speaker 2: I close myself off, not wanting to let what's in
Speaker 2: the mirror of my life stare back at me.
Speaker 4: I never take time to.
Speaker 2: Feel the effects of my choices. Sometimes everything seems so surreal.
Speaker 5: Jenna is always on the road, featured dancing. At home,
Speaker 5: all she does is work. Her corvette gets broken into,
Speaker 5: making her feel anxious. She feels lonesome. Most men don't
Speaker 5: even try to flirt with her, either because they're intimidated
Speaker 5: or because La is so oversaturated with hotties that nobody
Speaker 5: blinks an eye at ABM's Best News starlet as she
Speaker 5: walks blondly and boobily down the street. Jenna is down,
Speaker 5: so she agrees to go out with a guy she's
Speaker 5: not instantly attracted to because he keeps coming around. His
Speaker 5: name is Rod Hopkins, a libra from Toronto. He's a
Speaker 5: porn actor and director whose stage name is Brad Armstrong.
Speaker 2: He never struck me as someone that I would be
Speaker 2: attracted to, let alone go out with. He chased me
Speaker 2: for months trying to go out with me.
Speaker 5: Like Jenna, Brad Armstrong started stripping at seventeen. He was
Speaker 5: brought into porn by a girlfriend to do a six
Speaker 5: way sex scene for the film Bimbo Bowlers from Boston.
Speaker 5: Rod is five foot ten with brown, spiky hair, an earring,
Speaker 5: and a razor thin goateee connecting into a chin strap.
Speaker 5: He takes her out and the date is a dud.
Speaker 5: He dead ends her questions and he's quiet, which Jenna
Speaker 5: takes for a lack of passion. At the end of
Speaker 5: the night, Jenna gets out of his car as fast
Speaker 5: as she can.
Speaker 2: He lacked the passion that I needed. I like a
Speaker 2: man to be straightforward and confident, and he really was
Speaker 2: a little meek for me.
Speaker 5: It turns out he is just Canadian and nervous about
Speaker 5: going on a date with Jenna. As they hang out more,
Speaker 5: he loosens up and laughs at her jokes. He's moved
Speaker 5: from performing into directing for Wicked. Jenna might not be
Speaker 5: into him physically at first, but she's very attracted to
Speaker 5: his ambition. She loves the idea of collaborating with a
Speaker 5: director who will listen to her ideas. Brad lets Jenna
Speaker 5: help out with every part of their new movie, Cover
Speaker 5: to Cover, where she plays a horny librarian who fantasizes
Speaker 5: herself into the sex scenes from different books she reads.
Speaker 5: They have a shoestring budget, so Jenna doing every job
Speaker 5: is more than just her industriousness at work. Pornsets are
Speaker 5: like an immersive film school. Remember how Jenna got into
Speaker 5: obsessive crafting when she was on meth. Film production provides
Speaker 5: similarly kinetic thrills without the drugs.
Speaker 6: Jenna loves to put on a show.
Speaker 5: For Cover to Cover, she helps with costumes, sets, and
Speaker 5: the screenplay. She also stars. She and Brad, who aren't dating,
Speaker 5: have sex together for one scene. He bonks her cervix,
Speaker 5: which delays filming for hours.
Speaker 8: This movie was called Cover to Cover, where she played
Speaker 8: a librarian who would pick up these classic books and
Speaker 8: fantasize herself into each scenario. Lee Garland makeup artist.
Speaker 5: Jenna continues warming up to Brad. She likes how he
Speaker 5: directs her. In Cover to Cover, Jenna does her first
Speaker 5: male male female threesome with Brad and a guy named
Speaker 5: Mark Davis. She finds it harder than she expected to
Speaker 5: make it look natural. She's also thrown off when a
Speaker 5: female performer who can squirt breast milk on command starts
Speaker 5: doing so without warning, squirting it into Jenna's vagina.
Speaker 6: And looking it up.
Speaker 5: Jenna doesn't dig improv after this incident, she makes sure
Speaker 5: to fully negotiate all sex acts that will occur during
Speaker 5: filming Before shooting starts. Brad and another porn director named
Speaker 5: Greg Steel move into a five story house in Studio
Speaker 5: City that they planned to turn into a porn house.
Speaker 5: Porn first started shooting in houses because sound stages wouldn't
Speaker 5: rent to porn companies. They kept doing it because it
Speaker 5: became a signature stylistic element. Nineties porn houses are the
Speaker 5: cheaper version of LA's luxury mansion, minimalist and modernist, with
Speaker 5: pristine all white interiors, glass bricks, and huge windows, but
Speaker 5: also telltale crappy carpeting and cheap fixtures. Jenna finally hooks
Speaker 5: up with Brad, but there's a catch. He has virgin
Speaker 5: wore hangups for Jenna. Raised in the casino cathedrals of
Speaker 5: Las Vegas, whose gods are sex, money, and pleasure. This
Speaker 5: does not compute why would you feel bad about having sex?
Speaker 2: As the relationship progressed, it became harder and harder for
Speaker 2: him to fuck me because he was caught in a
Speaker 2: double bind. It seemed like in order to get pleasure
Speaker 2: during sex, he had to humiliate the woman, but it
Speaker 2: was impossible for him to humiliate the woman he loved.
Speaker 5: Now, some gals are into being verbally humiliated during sex consentually,
Speaker 5: of course, but Jenna is.
Speaker 6: Not one of them.
Speaker 5: For her, being called a whore is not a fun
Speaker 5: sex thing. It's a trigger. Brad and Greg Steel's porn
Speaker 5: house dreams get cabashed by the local homeowners association. Brad
Speaker 5: downsizes to a valley ranch house with a pool, and
Speaker 5: Jenna moves in with him despite her reservations.
Speaker 2: I always try to analyze why I fall in love
Speaker 2: with people, and usually it is for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2: So even though I knew something was lacking between us,
Speaker 2: we were both enjoying riding each other's wave.
Speaker 4: When we moved in together, we made a pact that.
Speaker 2: We were only going to work with each other, he
Speaker 2: as my director and me as his star.
Speaker 5: Jenna is Wicked's main contract girl and Brad Armstrong is
Speaker 5: Wicked's first contract director. She likes the idea of being
Speaker 5: in an industry power couple. She falls in love with
Speaker 5: the idea. Brad has some pluses too. He's domestically inclined.
Speaker 5: He sews, making them silken velvet curtains and tailoring Jenna's clothes.
Speaker 5: He unabashedly loves her. He's not volatile or mean. Jenna,
Speaker 5: who's always craved stability, knows she should be happy, but
Speaker 5: is she no? Now that she's in a calm relationship,
Speaker 5: Jenna acts like a huge bitch. Now she's the impulsive,
Speaker 5: angry one. She punishes Brad for being vulnerable by mocking
Speaker 5: his manhood, picking fights and threatening to leave. Whenever I
Speaker 5: said I was out of there, he would cry. And
Speaker 5: once a man cries yes it's over, show me any
Speaker 5: weakness and I'll stomp all over you. I clearly wasn't
Speaker 5: ready for a relationship.
Speaker 2: I was still living out unresolved conflicts from my past.
Speaker 5: Brad isn't a macho dickhead like Jenna's other boyfriends, but
Speaker 5: he's passive aggressive. He doesn't tell her to shut up,
Speaker 5: but he takes subtle digs at her confidence by saying
Speaker 5: he's only really attracted to Asian women, or that Jenna's
Speaker 5: ass is going to drop with age. These are cheap tactics,
Speaker 5: but they work, making her self conscious and needy. When
Speaker 5: Jenna tells Brad not to call her a whore during sex,
Speaker 5: he ignores her, which makes her rightfully furious. The needier
Speaker 5: she gets, the more Brad pulls away. He doesn't go
Speaker 5: to biker bars or cheat on her, but he retreats inwards,
Speaker 5: isolating himself to write scripts as an excuse to avoid her.
Speaker 5: Between working together, living together, and Brad's inability to enjoy
Speaker 5: sex with a woman, and he also respects things are
Speaker 5: not great, but they're making good movies, and Jenna's urge
Speaker 5: to be settled down at twenty two years old is
Speaker 5: stronger than reality. So instead of breaking up, they double
Speaker 5: down and get engaged. Jenna thinks it'll make their love stronger,
Speaker 5: and she really really wants to get married. She buys
Speaker 5: herself the wedding ring and starts planning a big, lavish wedding.
Speaker 4: I wore a big, beautiful princess gown.
Speaker 2: I wanted it to be a fairy tale.
Speaker 5: Jenna wants a wedding so badly she pushes down her
Speaker 5: gut feelings about Brad. Twenty two is how old Jenna's
Speaker 5: mother was when she married her father, and she wants
Speaker 5: that too. She plans a forty five thousand dollars wedding
Speaker 5: at the Wilshire Ebel Theater and her family flies into
Speaker 5: La for it. December twentieth, nineteen ninety. Twenty two year
Speaker 5: old Jenna Jamison Mary's Brad Armstrong in La at the
Speaker 5: Wiltshire Ebel Theater with a frosted nude lip, smoky eye
Speaker 5: off the shoulder princess dressed with a big white veil
Speaker 5: and headband, white flowers in her hair, and a bouquet
Speaker 5: of red and white roses. An hour before she ties
Speaker 5: the knot, she gets a sinking feeling and confesses to
Speaker 5: her dad that she worries she rushed the relationship into
Speaker 5: marriage too quickly.
Speaker 8: Honestly, she was having serious doubts and questions on the
Speaker 8: day of the wedding itself.
Speaker 2: An hour before it was supposed to walk down that aisle.
Speaker 2: I looked at my father and I said, Dad, I
Speaker 2: don't want to marry him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just do it.
Speaker 11: It's not like you're going to be nailed to the cross.
Speaker 11: You're getting cold feet, that's all. You don't like it.
Speaker 11: You can get out of it easily. Larry Mozzoli, Jenna's father.
Speaker 5: It is Jenna's dream wedding in almost every aspect but one.
Speaker 5: When she sees Brad standing at the altar, she feels nothing.
Speaker 5: Her spirit leaves her body the entire ceremony. They get
Speaker 5: a room at the Beverly Hills Hotel for their first
Speaker 5: night as newlyweds and pass out without consummating the union.
Speaker 5: The honeymoon in Hawaii goes just as well. There's a
Speaker 5: tropical storm and Jenna gets bitten up by mosquito's doing
Speaker 5: a photoshoot. Because Brad insists on turning the trip into work,
Speaker 5: he does his disappearing act. Holing up in the hotel
Speaker 5: to write. Jenna spends most of her honeymoon on the
Speaker 5: phone talking to joy King. Brad and Jenna go to
Speaker 5: a sedate New Year's Eve celebration at the resort and
Speaker 5: fall asleep before the ball drops. On the way back home,
Speaker 5: she snaps at him.
Speaker 2: Fine, go ahead and write another mother fucking script.
Speaker 4: I couldn't care less. They're bad anyway.
Speaker 5: At first, they fight behind closed doors, but pretty soon
Speaker 5: they're fighting on set too. Jenna acts like a diva,
Speaker 5: purposely running late because she knows it fucks up Brad's
Speaker 5: tightly budgeted schedule. He's behaving badly too, giving other starlet's
Speaker 5: special treatment and calling Jenna stupid in front of everyone.
Speaker 5: Brad is prone to going soft on set. Now, look,
Speaker 5: there's nothing wrong with going soft. Sex is weird and
Speaker 5: people get nervous, but for male performers, having a boner
Speaker 5: is the main job requirement. There's viagra now, but back
Speaker 5: in ye old mid nineties, going soft could hold up shooting.
Speaker 5: Brad insists Jenna and their co star keep going with
Speaker 5: the threesome scene they're doing, while he stops participating sexually
Speaker 5: in Just Films, even though he set up his own cuckolding,
Speaker 5: Brad holds a gross and expresses it through endless takes,
Speaker 5: making Jenna insecure about her acting. He also writes himself
Speaker 5: a scene where he fucks one of her close friends.
Speaker 2: You kind of push your feelings aside a bit and
Speaker 2: pretty much look at it as business.
Speaker 9: You know a lot of people their husbands or wives
Speaker 9: are fooling around on them anyway.
Speaker 4: At least here it's kind of a controlled environment. Brad
Speaker 4: Armstrong director.
Speaker 5: But Jenna has other stuff to focus on. Because she
Speaker 5: did so well on Howard Stern's radio show, she gets
Speaker 5: called into audition for his movie Private Parts, a semi
Speaker 5: autobiographical comedy based on his best selling book of the
Speaker 5: same name. She's auditioning for the role of the lesbian
Speaker 5: for producer Ivan Wrightman, who directed Ghostbusters, a movie that
Speaker 5: people think of as being for kids, even though it
Speaker 5: has Dan Aykroyd getting a blowjob from a ghost. Ivan
Speaker 5: Wrightman has crossed the streams between Hollywood and porno before,
Speaker 5: when he produced A Cronenberg's Rabid starring seventies porn star
Speaker 5: Marylynd Chambers. Porn and horror are parallel lanes, low budget
Speaker 5: genres with obsessive fans whose main hook is the promise
Speaker 5: of seeing the human body do something crazy. This is
Speaker 5: Jenna's first audition for a mainstream movie. She's put in
Speaker 5: a lineup with a bunch of other big breasted, blonde
Speaker 5: babes and bombs the audition from nerves, but she gets
Speaker 5: called back for a different part, a girl who gets
Speaker 5: naked on Stearn's radio show, Jenna gets flown first class
Speaker 5: to New York to audition for Ivan Reitman and Private
Speaker 5: Parts director Betty Thomas.
Speaker 2: I actually had to do a cold reading with Howard.
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how scared I was. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's a lot of pressure for a girl who was
Speaker 2: twenty two at the time. And I nailed it. And
Speaker 2: Howard looked at me and he goes, you got it, girl,
Speaker 2: and I was like, yes. It was my first major
Speaker 2: role in a big screen movie.
Speaker 5: Jenna is going to be in a mainstream film for
Speaker 5: the first time in her life, and a big budget
Speaker 5: won at that. Howard Stern's book publisher Simon and Schuster
Speaker 5: is sister companies with Paramount Films, who had a nineteen
Speaker 5: ninety two comedy blockbuster with Wayne's World, directed by Penelope Speirras.
Speaker 5: In the nineties, there's a brief surge of female directors
Speaker 5: in comedy, both because the nineties are supposed to fix
Speaker 5: the misogyny of eighties Hollywood and because comedies are considered
Speaker 5: fairly low risk. The insane success of Wayne's World shows
Speaker 5: that a woman can direct a hit one about dudes,
Speaker 5: no less. In nineteen ninety five, Betty Thomas directs the
Speaker 5: Brady Bunch movie. Tamra Davis, a music video director who
Speaker 5: directed the rap comedy See Before, then directs nineteen ninety
Speaker 5: five's Billy Madison, also a huge hit. Howard Stern wants
Speaker 5: Ivan Reitman to direct Private Parts, but Ivan Wrightman hires
Speaker 5: Betty Thomas, who just made a TV movie about the
Speaker 5: behind the scenes network wars for Letterman and Leno called
Speaker 5: The Late Show. The Brady Bunch movie quadrupled its twelve
Speaker 5: million dollar budget in profit. Betty Thomas wasn't sure about
Speaker 5: working with Howard Stern because of his persona, but he
Speaker 5: convinces her.
Speaker 14: After a while. Howard came out. When he took my hand,
Speaker 14: he was shaking. He was so vulnerable and scared. I
Speaker 14: couldn't believe it. I saw something in his eyes that
Speaker 14: I loved. Right then, I wanted to do the movie.
Speaker 14: Betty Thomas director.
Speaker 5: It's still a big gamble. It's unclear if a Howard
Speaker 5: Stern movie will have appeal beyond his diehard fans. Private
Speaker 5: Part structure is based off Bob Fosse's Lenny Bruce biopick.
Speaker 5: Lenny Stern is still doing his radio show five days
Speaker 5: a week while they film. Stern has won the chance
Speaker 5: to play himself in his own bio pick over the
Speaker 5: studios pick of Jeff Goldbloom Philipsymour. Hoffmann loses the role
Speaker 5: of Kenny Pig Vomit Russian to Paul Giamatti. Jenna replaces
Speaker 5: JJ North, a buxhum five foot two blonde scream queen.
Speaker 5: JJ North has done toplessness on screen, but when she
Speaker 5: finds out they want full nudity, she resigns. They offer
Speaker 5: the role to Jenna, who is willing to do full nudity.
Speaker 4: Not me, Jenna Jamison, I'm never naked.
Speaker 5: The Private Part set is a huge machine, with a
Speaker 5: million moving parts and enormous crew, unlike anything Jenna has
Speaker 5: experienced in the low budget world of porn filmmaking. While
Speaker 5: porn filmmakers blitz through shooting for budgetary reasons, sometimes making
Speaker 5: entire movies in a day, the Private Parts production has
Speaker 5: the luxuries of time and money. Jenna even has a
Speaker 5: stand in for the first time. She's asked to do
Speaker 5: twenty four takes of her one brief scene, which she
Speaker 5: finds wildly extravagant compared to a running gun porn shoot.
Speaker 5: When Jenna World returns Jenna takes Hollywood. Oh My, Welcome
Speaker 5: back to Jenna worlds. Called upon to level up to
Speaker 5: Hollywood standards of professionalism, Jenna's diva behavior vanishes. She wants
Speaker 5: to prove herself. One day, Howard Stern calls her into
Speaker 5: his trailer. She's not sure if he's going to ask
Speaker 5: for a sexual favor or how she'll respond if he does.
Speaker 5: She feels sexually attracted to Stern, but also values having
Speaker 5: a male mentor in show business who treats her like
Speaker 5: a human being. He makes small talk instead of a
Speaker 5: move on her, and she's relieved.
Speaker 1: Jenna, I really believe in you. I really think that
Speaker 1: you are a good girl and a good person, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to do anything in my power to help
Speaker 1: you get to where you need to be because you
Speaker 1: deserve it.
Speaker 2: Watch out for Jenna Jamison, I'm taking over.
Speaker 5: Jenna takes Joy King as her date instead of her
Speaker 5: husband Brad to the New York red carpet premiere of
Speaker 5: Private Parts. It's even more glamorous than can. Jenna wears
Speaker 5: a bright yellow collared shirt zipped halfway down with a
Speaker 5: black pushup bra showing underneath. She sports frosted purple eyeshadow
Speaker 5: paired with a brown frosted lip, with shimmery purply blue
Speaker 5: nails and a high I dream of Genie type ponytail
Speaker 5: and swooping bayang. At the premiere, Jenna is starstruck by
Speaker 5: John bon Jovi and Joey Ramone. She meets the titgeous
Speaker 5: alternative rockstar and tells him that she strips to his music.
Speaker 5: He escorts her around the fancy cocktail party and they
Speaker 5: sit next to each other during the screening. She notices
Speaker 5: almost immediately that he is a weird loser, but whatever.
Speaker 5: He invites her to another party and they share a
Speaker 5: limo with Billy Corgan. The rock star takes some pills
Speaker 5: and does some coke, and despite Jenna still being married
Speaker 5: to Brad, they make out. At the party. They also
Speaker 5: run into Prince.
Speaker 1: Hi Prince Musician.
Speaker 5: Jenna and the mystery rocker go back to a hotel
Speaker 5: and have sex. When he asks her to stay and cuddle,
Speaker 5: she gets the ick and bails back to her own
Speaker 5: hotel room, where her husband is. The rocker starts calling
Speaker 5: her all the time. She has a sexual affair with him,
Speaker 5: but the more they hang out, the less she likes him.
Speaker 5: He's weird in a weird way, not a fun way.
Speaker 5: He talks about outrageous stuff like wanting to see women
Speaker 5: fuckesthetic limbs. She wouldn't want him as a potential boyfriend,
Speaker 5: even if she wasn't already technically still totally married. She
Speaker 5: denies the affair on Stern after photos go public, but
Speaker 5: then the rocker sells her out in his own Stern interview.
Speaker 5: Private Parts is not a smash hit. It makes its
Speaker 5: budget back, but with eleven million dollars spent on marketing,
Speaker 5: it basically breaks even. With a forty million dollar gross.
Speaker 5: It's pushed out to theaters and swiftly rolled back, reflecting
Speaker 5: a new film trend, first week box office as sole
Speaker 5: determiner of success. No longer can movies grow an audience
Speaker 5: through word of mouth. Having stormed the motion picture castle
Speaker 5: and failed to demonstrate innate bankability, Howard Stern retreats back
Speaker 5: to radio.
Speaker 2: Do a Little Dance, Make a Little Love, Get down Tonight.
Speaker 5: The E Channel calls Jenna to do wild on their
Speaker 5: show that explores beautiful travel destinations with a sexy woman hosting.
Speaker 5: They want her to cover the red carpet openings of
Speaker 5: two new locations of the Planet Hollywood restaurant franchise in
Speaker 5: Bangkok and Singapore. They film Jenna jumping off a boat
Speaker 5: in a buttercup yellow bikini and matching yellow scuba goggles.
Speaker 5: Even with her can experience, Jenna is nervous about interviewing
Speaker 5: Hollywood stars, but they don't even know she's a porn star.
Speaker 5: They just see her microphone with a big white E
Speaker 5: Entertainment Network logo and an opportunity for press. She gets
Speaker 5: FaceTime with Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Sylvester Stallone.
Speaker 5: Jenna claims a supermodel whose name rhymes with Bindi Brawford
Speaker 5: makes a pass at her, allegedly, also allegedly making passes
Speaker 5: at Jenna in Bangkok, Wesley snipes Sylvester Stallone doesn't hit
Speaker 5: on her, which intrigues her. She flirts with Bruce Willis.
Speaker 2: He looked fine instantly, I felt my chest flush and tingle,
Speaker 2: even though he was wearing a creepy pair of shorts.
Speaker 4: I was still attracted.
Speaker 5: Allegedly, Bruce Willis kisses her in the middle of the crowd.
Speaker 5: After the party, his bodyguard tells her mister Willis is
Speaker 5: waiting for her in his limo. Jenna tells the bodyguard
Speaker 5: to let Bruce Willis marinate and goes back to her
Speaker 5: Bankcock Hotel room alone. E is thrilled with her hosting
Speaker 5: skills and wants to sign her up to do more
Speaker 5: red carpet interviewing. She flies back home to la and
Speaker 5: to Brad.
Speaker 8: Immediately after their wedding, he began to direct some of
Speaker 8: her movies, and Rod is one of the most difficult
Speaker 8: taskmasters there is to work for.
Speaker 5: Jenna and Brad decide the best way to work on
Speaker 5: their marriage is to have sex with other people on screen.
Speaker 5: Brad uses his clout to cast the Asian American women.
Speaker 5: He has a professed racial fetish for US as co stars,
Speaker 5: and Jenna uses her star power to work with other directors.
Speaker 5: It hurts Jenna's feelings that Brad easily gets a boner
Speaker 5: for his new costar Asia careerra. Jenna takes it out
Speaker 5: on the crew, which, as we've established by now, is
Speaker 5: the number one thing not to do.
Speaker 4: My husband's pretty.
Speaker 5: Rad At home, Jenna tries to reconnect with her husband.
Speaker 6: She wants him to show.
Speaker 5: Some sign that he really loves her, that he still
Speaker 5: wants to fuck her, but he just avoids her, pulling
Speaker 5: away from her, avoiding sex and holding up in his
Speaker 5: office to write scripts. She tells him, if he's not
Speaker 5: going to fuck her anymore, she'll find someone else who will.
Speaker 5: He says, go ahead, and so Jenna leaves Brad ten
Speaker 5: weeks after their wedding.
Speaker 4: I knew that it wasn't going to work.
Speaker 5: Jenna feels like the more she seeks peace, the more
Speaker 5: tumultuous things become. She seeks the comfort from others that
Speaker 5: she can't find in herself. She's getting burned out on
Speaker 5: doing porn, and people in the industry are burned out
Speaker 5: on her bad attitude and how unreliable she's become. But
Speaker 5: the industry is booming, and so is Jenna's stardom. Porn
Speaker 5: budgets are still skyrocketing up to six figures. As much
Speaker 5: as she once wanted to combine her creative life with
Speaker 5: a partner, she now sees the value in full autonomy.
Speaker 6: At the peak of.
Speaker 5: Her career, when she should be earning as much as
Speaker 5: she possibly can, she can't let her personal life get
Speaker 5: in the way, and so Jenna decides to run away
Speaker 5: from all her responsibilities to Miami. She gets a hotel
Speaker 5: and makes it a work trip by booking features at
Speaker 5: a club called Miami Gold in Florida. She gets back
Speaker 5: in touch with her, laying out to get tan before
Speaker 5: heading to the strip club.
Speaker 2: Each night in the evenings, I danced at Miami Gold,
Speaker 2: breaking in thousands upon thousands of dollars. It was easy,
Speaker 2: mindless work, just splay and smile.
Speaker 5: Jenna picks up a stranger for sex, a random hot
Speaker 5: guy who sees her dancing at Miami Gold.
Speaker 2: He wasn't loud or obnoxious. He didn't feel a need
Speaker 2: to brag or prove himself, and he was unaware of
Speaker 2: how good looking he was.
Speaker 4: He had no game.
Speaker 2: And because of that, I felt comfortable, like I could
Speaker 2: let my guard down and be myself without worrying he
Speaker 2: wanted anything.
Speaker 6: From me instead of hooking up.
Speaker 5: They talk all night. When they do start to hook up,
Speaker 5: he can't get hard, but she's not upset. She finds
Speaker 5: it flattering that she makes him so nervous. Jenna likes
Speaker 5: spending time with a hot guy who isn't trying to
Speaker 5: control her. She likes it so much she decides to
Speaker 5: quit porn and move to Miami. She tells Joy King,
Speaker 5: who is not stoked. Joy reminds Jenna she's still under
Speaker 5: contract to Wicked for at least two more films. Why
Speaker 5: would she sabotage her white Hawk career, But Jenna learned
Speaker 5: from her father, when things get tough, you can always
Speaker 5: just hit the road. To avoid dealing with the unraveling
Speaker 5: of her marriage to Brad and mounting career responsibilities, Jenna
Speaker 5: takes an endless vacation where she is accountable to no one.
Speaker 2: Away from La, life seem much more simple. I realized
Speaker 2: that my whole adult life, I had been in control.
Speaker 2: I had the power to make my life easy or difficult.
Speaker 2: I had just been giving that power away to other people.
Speaker 2: Taking it back was just as easy and as hard
Speaker 2: as stepping back and making a decisive change.
Speaker 5: Jenna returns to La to file for divorce. Brad is
Speaker 5: regretful and begs for her back, but it's too late.
Speaker 2: He didn't feel that he deserved me, and now it
Speaker 2: had become a self fulfilling prophecy.
Speaker 5: Jenna's hosting deal with E goes up and smoke due
Speaker 5: to a corporate merger with Comcast. While E was libertine,
Speaker 5: Comcast is conservative and they no longer want ease, horny
Speaker 5: or content. Jenna is at a crossroads. She knows she
Speaker 5: needs to keep grinding while she's a hot commodity, but
Speaker 5: she doesn't want to. She's tired of working hard, and
Speaker 5: so it's back to Miami Bitch. Jordan gets a huge
Speaker 5: back tattoo of Jenna. She gets an ankle tattoo that
Speaker 5: says Jordan's crazy girl. He still lives with his parents,
Speaker 5: who are working class Colombian immigrants. They accept Jenna, who
Speaker 5: they've been told is a bikini model. Jenna is staying
Speaker 5: at the Fountain Blue Hotel in Miami Beach, but she
Speaker 5: wants something more permanent, so she decides to build a
Speaker 5: place in Florida, Jenna's dream House. To rack up cash,
Speaker 5: she books a national feature dancing tour. Her contract girl
Speaker 5: status gets her top filling and rates up to three
Speaker 5: thousand dollars a show. Four shows a night, plus another
Speaker 5: thousand dollars each show in cash tips, for a total
Speaker 5: of thirteen thousand dollars a night. Jenna devises her own
Speaker 5: show with segments themed after Alice in Wonderland and a
Speaker 5: terminator parody called the Feminator Burnt Out on collaborative film sets.
Speaker 5: She has become a stripping mercenary.
Speaker 2: I was a different person now, fearless and terrifying.
Speaker 4: I wasn't sure if that was necessarily a good thing.
Speaker 5: The customers don't care about her props or movie parodies.
Speaker 5: They just want to see her body. Some of the
Speaker 5: clubs turn out to be bikini bars where she can't
Speaker 5: even show the goods, and several don't allow lap dances,
Speaker 5: where dancers make the most cash.
Speaker 10: Many of the.
Speaker 5: Strip clubs are shitty dives where the club owners insist
Speaker 5: on taking a cut of her polaroid signings. Another way,
Speaker 5: she makes quick bank. But Jenna can't pull her diva
Speaker 5: stuff on tour. She can't walk out on her boss
Speaker 5: if she's her own boss. She has committed to this
Speaker 5: entirely of her own will and has no one to
Speaker 5: blame but herself. If it's a bus, she has to
Speaker 5: fall back on her basic stripper training from the Crazy
Speaker 5: Horse too. No bells, no whistles, no terminator costume, just Jenna.
Speaker 5: When she gets back to Miami after a month on
Speaker 5: the road, she finds that Jordan is now angry and possessive.
Speaker 5: In one short month, he is morphed into a guy
Speaker 5: like all her other exes. He wants to come on
Speaker 5: the road to keep an eye on her, even though
Speaker 5: they met while.
Speaker 6: She was stripping.
Speaker 5: He suddenly objects to stuff she does for work, like
Speaker 5: sitting in laps for photo ops.
Speaker 6: Joy King keep.
Speaker 5: Sending Jenna offers that come in for her to do
Speaker 5: mainstream talking head interviews, but she starts turning down work
Speaker 5: because of Jordan.
Speaker 6: Uh Oh.
Speaker 2: I think that girls often experiment by dating different types
Speaker 2: of guys to see what will work for them. A dominant,
Speaker 2: possessive guy who wanted me to be barefoot and pregnant
Speaker 2: didn't jibe with my unhealthy sense of ambition.
Speaker 5: Jenna knows she's once again compromising her independence for a man,
Speaker 5: but she gets swept up in what feels like true romance.
Speaker 5: Brad was so passive aggressive that she's drawn into what
Speaker 5: an agro dick Jordan has become. Although Jenna is no
Speaker 5: strict follower of gender roles, she likes when men act macho,
Speaker 5: she hates when they're sensitive or cry, and she hates
Speaker 5: cuddling because she despises what she sees as feminine vulnerability.
Speaker 5: Even in herself. Jenna sees the attention Jordan gives her
Speaker 5: as a sign that he cares, but he's a controlling psycho.
Speaker 5: He goads her to wear less makeup, tells her to
Speaker 5: stop using tampon so his dick will be the only
Speaker 5: thing inside her, and gets furious if he thinks she's
Speaker 5: looking at other men even in passing. He says she
Speaker 5: belongs to him, and she starts to believe him. Jenna
Speaker 5: realizes she has stepped on the same rake again that
Speaker 5: she always does. She keeps getting in situation she knows
Speaker 5: in her heart aren't right for her. She just really
Speaker 5: wants to be in love. She knows she can't end
Speaker 5: up with Jordan, who wants to turn her into a tradwife.
Speaker 5: Jenna's anger about trapping herself in another bad relationship comes
Speaker 5: out at work. She starts raging out on strip club customers,
Speaker 5: spilling her drinks on them. If she thinks they're not
Speaker 5: paying her enough attention, she walks off stage if she
Speaker 5: doesn't like the crowd. One guy throws change at her
Speaker 5: and she jabs him in the throat with her high heel.
Speaker 5: And yet the angrier she gets on stage, the more
Speaker 5: positively the crowd responds, and the more money they spend.
Speaker 4: Oddly.
Speaker 2: The more I acted out, the more guys liked it.
Speaker 4: It riled up the crowd. When I was a fucker.
Speaker 2: I never dared to act like that at the Crazy Horse,
Speaker 2: but I had never been that angry there.
Speaker 4: I didn't know it was an option.
Speaker 5: At one club, she meets a fan who roadies for
Speaker 5: the band Tool. When the club owner sifts Jenna on tips,
Speaker 5: the tool roady keys his car for her. She hires
Speaker 5: him on the spot to be her own tour roadie.
Speaker 5: Tool Guy helps her draw up a dressing room writer
Speaker 5: with demands like prohibiting other strippers from dancing to Jenna's
Speaker 5: signature songs. Most strippers don't talk on stage because it's
Speaker 5: easier to project private fantasies onto a blank slate, but
Speaker 5: Jenna comes up with a bit where she says it's
Speaker 5: her birthday. Every night on tour she says tonight is
Speaker 5: her birthday, and she's dancing on her birthday because she
Speaker 5: cares so much. The birthday bit makes her tips.
Speaker 6: Go way up.
Speaker 5: The diva behavior starts creeping in again. On tour, she
Speaker 5: makes more and more outrageous demands on strip club owners,
Speaker 5: demanding limos for travel and making them move her hotel reservations.
Speaker 5: If she doesn't like the room service menu where she's booked,
Speaker 5: she blows into town, makes as much money as she can,
Speaker 5: and then blows out. But word travels and she starts
Speaker 5: getting a bad reputation all around the country. Jenna may
Speaker 5: well be the best, but she's also become so difficult
Speaker 5: to work and deal with that people don't care if
Speaker 5: she's the best. She's a huge pain in the ass.
Speaker 5: There's one other person she's willing to let cash in
Speaker 5: on her fame, her father, Larry Mizzoli. Her uncle wants
Speaker 5: to open a strip club in Anaheim, California, with Jenna's
Speaker 5: name involved. Her father and brother open Jenna Jamison's Scamps,
Speaker 5: Anaheim's premier gentleman's club. The city of Anaheim is known
Speaker 5: for a few things. Orange Groves, the Angels major League
Speaker 5: baseball team, briefly electing members of the ku Klux Klan
Speaker 5: do It City Council in the nineteen twenties, and the
Speaker 5: Skopunk band No Doubt, And of course, everyone's favorite physical
Speaker 5: manifestation of a dead guy's false idealized memories of childhood, Disneyland.
Speaker 5: Anaheim is basically a mob town run by the Disney Mafia,
Speaker 5: and one thing you must never do is go against
Speaker 5: the mouse. Anaheim's main industry is tourism, driven by Disneyland,
Speaker 5: family vacationers, and Orange County skews conservative. Some people were
Speaker 5: not happy to see Jenna in Anaheim. The city of
Speaker 5: Anaheim makes Scamps remove a large sexy poster of Jenna,
Speaker 5: and on opening day there are protests against a strip
Speaker 5: club named for a porn star opening in family friendly Anaheim.
Speaker 5: Some fans show up to support Jenna, who is set
Speaker 5: to make regular feature dancing appearances at Scamps, but Jenna
Speaker 5: finds that working with her family is fraught. Her uncle,
Speaker 5: who set up the strip club deal, is a scammer,
Speaker 5: her dad is dating one of the dancers at scamps,
Speaker 5: and to her absolute horror, is smoking math. Jenna recalls
Speaker 5: why she wanted to leave stripping for porn in the
Speaker 5: first place. With Jenna taking an indefinite, unplanned hiatus from
Speaker 5: shooting porn to do her endless strip club tourse, Steve
Speaker 5: Bornstein hires another Wicked Pictures contract girl. Serenity, whose birth
Speaker 5: name is Sonia Elizabeth Lane, is a former ballet dancer
Speaker 5: and waitress from Missouri. Serenity is as hard working as Jenna.
Speaker 5: Has become flaky after working as a makeup artist on
Speaker 5: porn movies like Tits A Wonderful Life. Jenna's old roommate,
Speaker 5: Nikki Tyler, has become a vivid girl. Her marriage to
Speaker 5: the newstand guy has collapse, in part because he didn't
Speaker 5: get why she acts so differently off screen compared to
Speaker 5: how she seems in her movies.
Speaker 13: Why can't in the movies you do all these crazy positions?
Speaker 13: And I was like, that's for the camera. I don't
Speaker 13: really want to do all these positions. Nicki Tyler performer.
Speaker 5: And technically, Jenna is still under contract to Wicked, So
Speaker 5: when Steve Ornstein calls and asks if she wants to
Speaker 5: come back and do one of the two movies she
Speaker 5: owes him, she has no choice but to say yes.
Speaker 5: She's also getting tired of touring. Her boyfriend Jordan, goes ballistic.
Speaker 2: I couldn't continue to do movies without hurting Jordan. Yet,
Speaker 2: to leave the industry for Jordan would mean to throw
Speaker 2: away everything I had worked so hard for.
Speaker 5: When she is getting ready to leave Miami, Jordan tells
Speaker 5: her she's a good for nothing slut who is throwing
Speaker 5: her life away. He has ruined her confidence and now
Speaker 5: she's off to get it back. Her comeback film is
Speaker 5: called Dangerous Tides, directed by her ex husband Brad, who
Speaker 5: is still the main contract director for Wicked. They shoot
Speaker 5: it on a boat off the coast of Catalina Island,
Speaker 5: a small island off the coast of la that was
Speaker 5: a nineteen thirties party island for showbiz folks and is
Speaker 5: now a fun place to do snorkeling, check out a
Speaker 5: haunted Art deco ballroom and see wild Bison. Jordan has
Speaker 5: gotten so into Jenna's head that she feels guilty for
Speaker 5: leaving him to do her job that she's been contracted
Speaker 5: to do. She's depressed and nauseous. While her co stars
Speaker 5: Asia Carrera and Jill Kelly party and have fun on
Speaker 5: the boat, Jenna is crying constantly, and to make things worse,
Speaker 5: her left breast implant is fucked up. Scar tissue is
Speaker 5: growing around the implant. After the shoot, she goes to
Speaker 5: a plastic surgeon named doctor Garth and gets the scar
Speaker 5: tissue removed and new implants put in. She recovers from
Speaker 5: the surgery at Jill Kelly's house. Jenna first met Jill
Speaker 5: Kelly at a valley strip club called Bob's Classy Lady Quote,
Speaker 5: home of the original Shower Show. Jill Kelly starred in
Speaker 5: adult films like Hollywood Hills, Sex Party, Rock Groupies, and
Speaker 5: Heat and Butt Sisters Do Philadelphia. She was married to
Speaker 5: a male performer named Cal Jammer, who committed suicide in
Speaker 5: front of her house, forcing her to be the first
Speaker 5: person to discover his body. After cal Jammer's death, Kelly
Speaker 5: becomes romantically involved with a female performer who goes by
Speaker 5: the name PJ Sparks. Jill and PJ performed together at
Speaker 5: strip clubs as a feature duo under the act named
Speaker 5: Fire and Ice. When Jenna finishes postop, she's happy with
Speaker 5: how the results look, although she's starting to regret getting
Speaker 5: such big implants.
Speaker 2: I had big boobs to begin with, but in this industry,
Speaker 2: a girl has to be larger than life. The problem
Speaker 2: is that big implants are a magnet for creeps and
Speaker 2: a hindrance to most physical activity.
Speaker 5: Jenna brings Jordan out on tour and he loses his shit,
Speaker 5: immediately calling her a whore and telling her she has
Speaker 5: to stop dancing. Forever, even though that's how they met
Speaker 5: in the first place. Jill Kelly watches this all go
Speaker 5: down and gives Jenna a look that says she is
Speaker 5: appalled by Jordan's treatment of her, and Jenna knows she's right.
Speaker 2: I was done done with him once again. I'd allow
Speaker 2: a guy to control me and in the process lost
Speaker 2: my entire sense of self.
Speaker 5: The fantasy Jenna had about Jordan, about being a normal
Speaker 5: housewife in Miami is over now. She goes to a
Speaker 5: tattoo parlor and covers up the Jordan's portion of her
Speaker 5: Jordan's crazy Girl ankle tattoo so that it just reads
Speaker 5: crazy girl. She tells him she's going to a trade
Speaker 5: show and flees to the airport, never to return. A
Speaker 5: few months later, Jordan shows up in La not to
Speaker 5: harass Jenna, but looking for work in the porn industry
Speaker 5: as a security guard. Because La is a small town
Speaker 5: and the valley is even smaller, Jordan ends up working
Speaker 5: as Jill Kelly's bodyguard.
Speaker 2: To be in this industry, you need to have strong
Speaker 2: grounding because you are questioned by everyone, even yourself, on
Speaker 2: a daily basis, and if you fall into the trap
Speaker 2: and start hating who you are, then you are going
Speaker 2: to start taking it out on yourself and everyone around you.
Speaker 5: Back in the LA area, without a place of her
Speaker 5: own to stay, Jenna goes to Irvine to stay with
Speaker 5: her old friend Nicki Tyler, and Nicky's new boyfriend Lyle Danger.
Speaker 5: When she gets there, Nicky and Lyle are doing lots
Speaker 5: of drugs and fighting NonStop. Jenna feels like she's reliving
Speaker 5: her years with Jack. One night, Jenna hears Lyle abusing
Speaker 5: Nicki and runs into the other room to fight him off.
Speaker 5: He bolts from the house and never comes back. Jenna
Speaker 5: convinces Nikki they should get a new place together, a
Speaker 5: place of their own with no bad boyfriends to ruin it.
Speaker 2: We can start our lives all over again, just you
Speaker 2: and me, and this time we can make all the
Speaker 2: right choices and we can make them together, no guys.
Speaker 5: Jenna and Niki find a two bedroom in LA and
Speaker 5: rekindle their friendship. Nicky's on prozac for her mental health,
Speaker 5: but then Nicky starts self medicating with little bits of
Speaker 5: vicot in take in with straight vodka. Because she's there too,
Speaker 5: Jenna takes the little swig of vodka sometimes then she
Speaker 5: starts to pop vikeo in. Occasionally, Jenna convinces herself this
Speaker 5: kind of drug taking is okay. It's prescribed by a doctor.
Speaker 5: A doctor wouldn't just give out powerful opioids for no reason, right.
Speaker 2: I had always thought that it was men who were
Speaker 2: bad for me, But the problem with guys ultimately was
Speaker 2: one of control, who had it and how they got
Speaker 2: to use it.
Speaker 5: So Jenna restarts her life and her porn career yet again,
Speaker 5: but in the apartment with Nikki, she also rediscovers her
Speaker 5: love for partying. She knows drug use interferes with her work,
Speaker 5: and she knows she needs to get back to work
Speaker 5: and really put her nose to the grindstone again to
Speaker 5: get her life and porn star career back on track
Speaker 5: before it totally collapses.
Speaker 6: What do you think will happen next time?
