I worked in the cable industry for awhile and each year we would go to a convention in which stations would promote themselves to keep our business. In doing this, there were always the adult channels represented, as well.
While I walked the floor and met people from Showtime, HBO and other stations. It was never hard to figure out where the adult channels were, as these were the most crowded and had the most people taking pictures with the actresses and actors that worked them. In so doing, year after year I actually got a kick out of meeting these woman and talking to them. You would think they would the most whore type people you would imagine and nothing but filth. Yet that was not the case and often they had a fan base of men that were business men and very level headed people.
What I was wondering, after seeing how much people lavished attention on these woman. Can they be considered a movie star in the same ranking of popularity of the Meg Ryan's, or Julia Roberts? Not that they are winning Oscars or Emmy's, but they were very popular and you would be surprised at how many people who claim to not know porn, knew who Ginger Lynn was or Ron Jeremy. Interesting, how we will not admit something that we know we all do.
What do you think, are they all just sluts and whores, or do they deserve a respect of the "movie star" title.
