FROM PUBLISHER: Now you're in for it! Join world famous film star Rebecca Lord as she takes you into the strange and hilarious world of adult films. Rebecca started in the business when she was a very young woman in France, but soon became well known in the industry and moved to America to further her career. While in the U.S., she became a huge star, and made a lot of friendships with some famous stars on the way, before returning to Europe where she continues to direct movies. This book is full of amazing, sexy and too-funny stories that will have you laughing out loud!

Rebecca Lord is a world famous adult film star and a member of the AVN Hall of Fame. Brian Whitney is the author or co-author of 7 books, including an autobiography of Porsche Lynn and the novel Raping the Gods.


MY THOUGHTS: This could have been better. She didn't give any background on herself at all other than she went to Catholic school and got into porn when she was 20. No mention of her parents or siblings, other than to say her niece became an orphan. I don't feel as if I got to know her at all. She didn't even say what she likes to do in her spare time. She seems funny and likeable and doesn't take herself too seriously. She's been married to the same man since her early 20's, and she's 44 now. She did say she likes to keep some things private so I guess that's why there's not much about her pre-porn life in here.

Her memoir was all about her life in the porn industry, first as an actor, then as director/producer. When she came here she didn't speak a word of English. An interesting little bit is she helped teach herself English by watching television, including the O.J. Simpson trial, with closed captioning turned on so she could see the written word.

I wanted something deeper in this memoir. This was a little too lighthearted.

I reviewed an adult film she was in here.

I received this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
