FOX: Who's Your Soft Core Actress?
Here at Gawker HQ, we watch a lot of classy films. Truffaut, Antonioni, that sort of thing.
We're such film snobs, when someone sneezes in the movie theater (Film Forum, natch), we say "Godard bless you." That's just the sort Cahiers du Cin ma-reading badasses we are.
So, imagine our surprise when an alert reader told us about the film career of FOX's Who's Your Daddy? "contestant" T.J. Myers.
We'd never seen her name in Film Comment, but then again, that venerable publication never writes about films like Seduction of Innocence, described by IMDB as follows:
Small-town girl journeys with friend to big city (looks like Dallas) to visit older sister, only to find that Sis is a) working as a stripper, b) tied up with some kind of drug syndicate, and c) living with a lesbian. Our heroine gets interested in "dancing" herself while her friend gets interested in the older sister. Lots of nudity on stage and a fair amount of lesbian friendliness. Standard exploitation fare, interesting mainly for the mostly-positive light in which female homosexuality is portrayed.
Sounds pretty good, like Persona, but hotter. And Myer's early work is in keeping with FOX's 'reality show' policy to only employ people with soft core experience (c.f., Joe Millionaire's Sarah Kozer and Evan Marriott).
And, of course, Ms. Myers has a website, which is probably doing brisk business today.
