Printed: 302 pages, 6" x 9", perfect binding, black and white interior ink Description:A rollicking, ribald, account of the making of Gerard Damiano’s 1974 sexually explicit film, The Devil in Miss Jones, is followed by a fast-paced, humorous look at the rest of her life by the film’s star, Georgina Spelvin. “I honestly never thought anyone I knew would ever see the thing!” she wailed when the film’s box-office success threw her into an unexpected and uncomfortable spotlight. Ironically, a spotlight was exactly what she had come to New York to find as a young dancer from Texas in 1954. She did find it, briefly, in the original Broadway production of The Pajama Game. Twenty years later, it glared unrelentingly on what she now describes as her “dubious achievement award.” Demons – including “Demon Rum” – are met and dealt with. Ultimately, it is a love letter to her mother. Listed in: |

-Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D.--Huge Georgina Spelvin admirer. Porn star turned artist/sexologist.
When she writes about her sexual escapades, she does so with straightforward honesty and humor that is racy, sensual and erotic without being phony, vulgar or fake. The way she includes her thoughts in various situations, like a written stage whisper, is a real hoot!
And when she talks about the times that are less than rosy, even downright ugly, she does it without pulling any punches, and without looking for pity, thank you so very much! Yet, even then she finds some humor such that you smile as you grimace (that's not easy, let me tell you!)
I have no literary credentials, but I love to read. I loved this book, and I think you will too!
