Starlet Sasha Grey is becoming porn’s latest crossover phemon, landing the lead role in Steven Soderbergh’s latest film, “The Girlfriend Experience.” Not since Jenna Jameson has an adult actress really made the leap as successfully as twenty year-old Grey seems to be doing. And while mainstream media is going wild about Grey’s porno past (and hopefully present and future), they aren’t the only ones that are curious what this means for both industries.
Fleshbot sums it up nicely with their musings on Sasha’s success:
So then, what are we to make of Sasha’s mainstream stardom? Is it an accidental by product of her porno fame? Probably not: she seems far too smart to “accidentally” wind up in a Soderbergh film. If anything, we suspect that Sasha is attempting to remake the notion of what a mainstream star is, and does—much the way she’s remade any notions of what an 18-year-old pornstar looks and sounds like.
Sounds good to me. I just hope this doesn’t mean this is the last of Sasha Grey the porno world sees…
