Why are there adult film (porn) actresses who are incredibly beautiful?”
I know librarians that are gorgeous, knock-em-dead beautiful. For that matter, I know of at least one insurance agent who could be a model (and probably was!). And so on and so forth. There’s no set of rules about why a person chooses one profession over another. Maybe your friend is sexually more liberated and enjoys sex a lot, so she got into the adult business. Maybe she has the ambition to do porn for a few years, make her fortune, and then go into ‘legal’ acting. My point is that you’re placing a value judgment on her career choice. You see porn as beneath non-porn acting. Others may see things differently – maybe this person feels that porn is the height of acting ability and that dramatic acting takes less skill. I don’t know, you don’t know. Bottom line: if she’s happy, and doing this job with her eyes open (that is, no one is forcing her or pimping her) then who are you (or who is anyone else) to tell her what she is doing needs to be changed?
