Reader Feedback on "The Starlet Letters"
I really enjoyed Christy's interview. I saw her for the first time on an old video a friend recorded on his "dish" with an illegal chip 20 years ago, when we were young, and fell in love with her then.
It turns out the woman is as smart as she is beautiful.
I'll buy the book because I love a good read and this sure sounds like one. It's not about the sex (which is ALWAYS a good thing, don't get me wrong), it's about an interesting life, which is always a lot more interesting than anything pop fiction can tell you.

Great idea to interview Christy!!! From what I've read in her responses, she kicks major ass! Long live any porn that isnt entitled "spring break girls 2003"

This is probably not the correct location. Just a vignete on
Chrisy Canyons history.(and Mine).
In the late twenty's, my father was a young navey aiecraft radioman, amember of the battleship boxing team, and boxed in the American legion halls and other profesional venues for $5 bucks a fight when on libery(don't laugh, it would buy a good meal and a woman and night on the town)
He was a flyer or bantam weight, and fought the curtain raiser one night when Max Baer SR. fought this German guy.
He had to return to the ship for duty and did not see the fight, now well know from filmclips of Max destroying another human being. My Dad said he was never as effective fighter after that, probably afraid to take a chance on killing someone else.

"Scenes with her father, Max Baer Jr. (a.k.a. Jethro from The Beverly Hillbillies), are fiercely rendered with an eye for detail and absurdity."
HUH? She may have had a fling with Jethro, but he isn't her father.

Nice piece. Canyon does something that is so rare in that she takes responsibility for her life and doesn't play the blame or dodge games. Her comments on other public figures are objectively critical and on the mark. The escapists who cling to their right wing or left wing excuses could learn something from her straight talk if they could come out from their intellectual spider holes. Plonk the morons who'll dismiss or ding her for her porn background.

Its clear in the introduction and in the first few questions that nerve wants badly to believe that porn is not exploitative to the women who participate in it and that women who have had abusive childhoods aren't more likely to become sex workers. I understand why -- nerve likes porn, after all -- but maybe the fact that there are several books describing the industry as exploitative means that, hey, maybe the industry IS exploitative...
