The porn star
Sasha Grey is starring in Steven Soderberg's next movie,
The Girlfriend Experience. You might know her from music videos for The Roots
("Birthday Girl") or Smashing Pumpkins (
"Superchrist") -- or from porn.
Update:
NSFW profile on VBS where she calls herself an "existentialist porn star" and
This Recording's homage.
And in the interests of public service. If you want to research "The Girlfriend Experience" at work, you should be fine with Google results 1-5, but watch out for #6.
So much more than "the porn star" label. Grey debuted in and simultaneously changed the adult film industry about the same time my column came to life, so I've been following her closely for the last 2 years. Maybe comparable to Annabelle Chong, maybe comparable to Jenna Jameson, but this woman is like no other we've seen before in entertainment. She's here to teach us something and I'm listening.
