Written by Brian Koppelman and David Levien, The Girlfriend Experience explores the world of prostitution from the viewpoint of a $10,000 a night call girl.<snip>
After further consideration, the committee and I (well, really just I) have decided that trying to pass off Sasha as a $10k per night elite call girl to joe movie-goer is TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE, especially in light of pics like the below of her talents in action. TOTALLY. PLAUSIBLE.
The nameless faceless girl from Ukraine that looks like a young Claudia Schiffer with natural D-cups and eyes bluer than the Adriatic -- who just got declined at Elite because her boobs were too big -- who now hooks in New York for $4k/night, well she'd have nothing on Sascha's portrayal of what $10k/night buys a tubby investment banker.
Put a baseball cap on THIS and there's NO way you'd mistake her for her brother:

"The film will be financed by HDNet label partners, Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner. It’s the second in a six-picture deal with Soderbergh to direct low-budget films to be distributed in theaters, on cable TV and DVD simultaneously."
Meaning, nobody will see it. This isn't gonna do anything mainstream for her. It'll end up grossing even less than Jenna Jameson's Zombie Strippers.

But I can't think of any serious, staring role that has ever gone to a porn whore. There was another thread devoted to this topic and all the parts mentioned were bit parts as the naked chick with no dialogue.
Nina Hartley and Ron Jeremy did have rolls in Boogie Nights. Not major ones, but key ones, and the movie did get several Oscar nods...

There's a video clip on some celebrities site (E.L. Woody's, I believe) showing Sasha coming out of a hotel in N.Y. and getting into a car whilst dressed in a very Hepburn-esque black ensemble. She is also shown having a chat with Soderbergh too.

Looks like Soderbaugh movies will become even more inconsistent.
My favorite, is "The Limey."

Nina Hartley was in 2 scenes where she was getting fucked in each scene. That's hardly a crossover.

It's a shame you're leaving the industry, Monica. I enjoyed your few scenes and daydream from time to time about sharing a weekend and an eight-ball of cocaine with you. After all, you fucked Dave Pounder without chucking up your lunch, so you ought to be accessible to schlubs like me. Best of luck with future endeavors -- the eight-ball is still here with me if you want it!

I am not certain. If you should find any where I have been remiss, good sir, please do alert me to my omission.

But what about Ron Jeremy?
He was great in "Killing Zoe".
Office door opens,he takes a blast from a shotgun(from a member of Spandau Ballet!). How did he not get nominated for that?
Apparently, Ron does get fairly respectable small roles from time to time, at the behest of producers/directors who are fans and think it would be cool to have him in their movie, but said roles normally end up on the cutting room floor once the studio realises they are going to be caught up in the midst of a 'Disney endorses hardcore porn! Is this the kind of sick filth you want your children to watch?' media shitstorm.
As for getting pwned onscreen by a member of Spandau Ballet, haven't you seen 'The Krays'? Lots of people feel the wrath of the New Romantics in that one!
Besides, getting shot by someone from Spandau Ballet is far less shameful than getting your ass kicked by someone out of Bros. (like, most of the cast of 'Blade II'). That's almost as bad as losing a rope fist fight to someone out of Hanson, or one of the Jonas Brothers if you prefer...

The Krays was a very intense flick. And those s from Spandau Ballet played seriously mean bastards. No clowning around!

Most of the clients of a 10k hooker are going to be CEO types who are in town for a meeting, charity event or such. She's paid mostly to look elegant at a black tie event at the Symphony, provide intelligent conversation over cocktails with other attendees afterward, etc. If someone mentions they're just back from a vacation in France she's expected to know what continent that's on, and bonus points if she can discuss the local cathedral etc.
The old man who hired her is not going to last more than a few minutes in bed anyway so exotic porn circus acts don't need to be in her repertoire. She's paid $300 for the BJ you can get from any PW and $9,700 for the other stuff that you will never get from any PW.
10k hookers don't advertise on Craiglist or appear in porn videos. I would bet they slip back into civilian life pretty easily whenever they want, being able to later claim they had spent those years as an artist, in music, or something else that leaves few traces.
Yes.
I gave an interview to the screenwriters of this film when the lead was still (what was her name?) some other porn starlet. I tried to explain that, aside from the compatibility factor that is inextricably tied to spending QT with multiple hour minimum whores, the vast majority of the captains-of-industry types who can afford and want to pay $10,000 a night for "companionship" *cannot* afford to be seen in public with barely legals. I told them flat-out it's late twenties at minimum, up to late thirties. They didn't want to hear it. I guess in Hollywood, the notion that a woman over 21 isn't past her prime is closer to heresy than saying Jesus wasn't the son of God.
"GFE" is also a pretty low-rent term, something I wouldn't use in the context of ultra-ultra-high-end prostitution, which does exist, but only in the very low single percentile.
I congratulate Sasha Grey on this coup - she deserves it. But as far as this film representing me or any of my former colleagues with any degree of versimilitude, fugghedaboutit.

These guys are usually married. It's often just for show, and the wife knows exactly what's going on, but there are limits.

The old man is using her for more than sex - he's showing off to the other old men, and they want more than sex. She must be elegant and comfortable in any setting or topic. Elegance isn't just a matter of looks or stance - everyone else at the dinner party has traveled the world on business and is well informed on current events in both Europe and the US. No 21 y/o is going to be able to avoid being awkward in such a group (how many 21 y/o PWs are going to be able to participate in a conversation about Davos?).
It will be interesting to see if the film gets the role of the Concierge right. My understanding, from an old-man's admin, is that this important. The admin calls the hotel Concierge and say something like "Mr. BigBucks will be arriving at 4pm Sunday with Suzy BigTits, who is not his wife, expects breakfast at 6:30am Monday and will depart at 3pm Monday." That's all the hint a Concierge needs: no one on the hotel staff will ever address her as Mrs. BigBucks, and if Mr. & Mrs. BigBucks visit the next weekend no one will recall seeing Mr. BigBucks or Suzy BigTits recently. If a big donor shows up at the charity event door with a woman who looks way too young and you want to find out whether to comment on her in the thank-you speech, the Concierge is to one to ask if you can't find the old man's admin.

Ashlyn Gere is the only PW I can think of who can be said to have had a successful mainstream "career" after crossing over. Sasha needs to understand that Ashlyn *was* successful: most actresses never get that kind of exposure, those that do generally get one one show, etc. Long careers in Hollywood with dozens of roles is incredibly rare even for those who can act, have all the right schools/degrees, etc.
But good for her - just remember that it's a lot more work that letting some porn dudes poke your butt. And remember that after her Hollywood "career" Ashlyn was back in porn, getting her butt poked by felons of uncertain sexuality...

Not Davos. Existentialism.
I don't dislike Sasha anymore, it's just that, as much piss as she drinks and as much black eyeliner as she piles on, she doesn't look day older than 18, and that is not what high end hookers look like. But I wish her the best of luck in becoming a mainstream actress.
PS: Brian Koppelman is a douche.

So she's no longer performing in pron scenes? Anyone that can straighten that out for me.
Passive on if she does or not- though I'd suspect if she no longer does adult scenes Tyra Bank's would crown herself as the champion of that fact.
Watching that interview from the Tyra Bank's show was lame- Sasha had a youtube post saying anything she said was edited out, as well as the producers of the show made her wear kiddyish clothes and makeup.
The YouTube blurb is hilarious, I saw one put on by an anti porn extremist- it had all sorts of captions that 'enchanced' the drama and judgement.
Most ironic I found out of everything w/ that Tyra Banks interview- Tyra Banks herself rose on a career based purely on sex appeal. Yes- modeling is not porn, but its lame seeing someone play high and mighty when they made moneys off of the appeal of their body.
