According to LA Weekly, a former “porn star” appeared at an elementary school in Compton, California, to read to children. The porn star is not just any old worn-out slapper—it’s Sasha Grey, a “new kind” of adult actress, who prides herself in doing both hard-core stuff and mainstream muck. She’s a jackoff-of-all-trades, if you will. Because of her unique persona, she became the obsession of Steven Soderbergh, who devoted a whole movie to her (I confess to not seeing it—I’m waiting for the musical). He must have found her fascinating, as men with film cameras often do when they come across a hot chick who will screw men with film cameras. Later, still enthralling Hollywood types, she showed up on that outdated tripe called Entourage, playing herself (why not?—she’s so cool!), and the object of the star’s affections. Her ability to use her sexual confidence to control men was seen as heroic. The fact is, Grey is famous not because she does porn, she’s famous because she’s cute, and makes it acceptable to do porn.
