I've never had that on Youtube before. Let's see if she approves it.

The original comment was ignored, and so was the next that I tried. It doesn't surprise me. Anti-porners - in blogs, etc - have a habit of not allowing comments that don't agree with them - even from performers who object to being seen as victims, and write to say so. (Pro pron sites seem to allow disagreement - they like an argument. They even provide links to anti-pron sites.)

It's also ridiculous how that YouTube video suggests that those girls wouldn't have died in "tragic car accidents" if they hadn't been involved with porn.

I used to work in porn as a cameraman...and I'm here to tell you that while the fantasy is fine...the real life reality is that it's a pretty soul destroying way of making a living for all the people involved.
I met very few if any who did it for the love of sex..most where spiritually dead arseholes, had money or drug issues or where just seriously dysfunctional human beings.
Even when you finally leave it, it eats away at you like a cancer and I can well believe that in a lot of cases early deaths are directly attributable to working in the industry.

I've read about this so many times as well. I think doing porn would get to you after awhile. It's a tough way to make a living.

I wrote that biography (I've got nothing to do with the website - those guys just have a habit of "borrowing" my stuff). Bottom line is, there are too many conflicting reports about Lisa De Leeuw to say one way or another. David Jennings was quite definite that she was alive. Other sources say she's dead. Who knows? That's why I left it open. It's a bit like Bambi Woods... is she alive or dead?

Im gonna have to agree here, in example:

Janis Joplin, died, drug overdose
Elvis Presely, died, drug overdose
Marvin Gaye, murdered, gunshot wound
Kurt Cobain, died, self inflicted gunshot wound
(see what you are contributing to here?!?)
Jimi Hendrix, dead, choked on own vomit
John Lennon, murdered, gunshot wound
Jim Morrison, dies, drug overdose
Dimebag Darrel, murdered, gunshot wound


STOP LISTENING TO REALLY GOOD MUSIC, YOU'RE DESTROYING LIVES!!!

Do you know what happened to her? I noticed she doesn't have a thread on this site.
