I had no idea that this was based on a true story, but it's a pretty believable premise. A small town girl gets caught up in the drug-fueled and lucrative nude modeling and porn industry, then her life goes down the toilet. Jonna Lee was pretty good in this role. I wonder what happened to her. The only other movie I saw her in was "Making the Grade." Lee's character was more of a mess than a victim. It was kind of hard to feel sorry for her. Was college a worse alternative than becoming a strung out porn star?? Amazingly, many of the porn execs, photographers, coke dealers aren't depicted in a seedy light. The film starts in 1981, but Lee's attire is pretty much late 80s stuff (torn, tight Guess jeans), and the soundtrack is right out of the 1970s (Fleetwood Mac, Frampton). It's a sad story, but throughout the whole thing, you just want the lead character to get a freaking clue!
