Dear Diary,
I’m partial to xxx actress Samantha Strong. She has the best sneer and blasè demeanor and her acting is somewhat detached and wonky and a bit robotic, which I find fascinating and impactful – BOO to good actors, yawn. My favorite of her movies is The Heiress. Shot on video, entirely on a soundstage, in absurdly cheap sets, some of which were actually painted backdrops of interiors. She wore a stiff white leather business suit with huge shoulder pads and had BIG, backcombed, frizzy, matted hair. She looked positively regal. When she first started she used to have a fuller figure, then later she was fashion model thin, perfectly stunning either way. I met her when she was a feature dancing tour, with a stint in Athens. I saw it advertised on a cab and I investigated; it was at a strip club in some dodgy outskirts of the city. Never been to a strip club before and I was petrified going by myself but in typical form, scared or not I went ahead with the mission.
Samantha was very nice and somewhat reserved; She walked by my table and I said something girly like “Hi! I love your work!” to which she exclaimed “- Oh my god you speak English” and promptly sat at my table where she spent the entire night while we chatted away. She didn’t hustle a dime out of me which would be totally understandable, this was her place of work, but we just talked and talked.. When the club owner growled at her (and me) for blatantly ignoring all of the other customers, (who kept staring at us all night trying to make sense why she’d spend all this time with a gawky, awkward weirdo), she grabbed my hand and led me to this exposed shower area in the club, sat me in front of it, got naked and took a shower in front of me, while the other men watched. I died of embarrassment. Then she went backstage to freshen up and brought me a t-shirt which she signed for me as a gift. I left at dawn, when they had turned on the lights.
She has retired from x-rated films now. I hope she’s doing well. Samantha is a super star.
