I was the first one hired for this picture--they liked the accent I managed to concoct during the cold reading at my audition and I signed the contract that day.
This was the best-financed project I was ever a part of. I won't say it was my best role as a performer, but if I'd decided to go on in the profession it was a type I would have built a career on--you know, the comic tropical woman.
(In Dork & Sindy aka Playmates, my first picture, I was the wacky Oriental neighbor.)
As for striking a balance between the "hot" and aesthetic factors (you have to start assessing artistic values someplace) Sadie should hold up pretty well. The script--a retelling of Maugham's creaky old classic, Rain aka Sadie Thompson--will seem pretty dated by now, but there were some good production values and a conscientious director and camera-sound man, so it should at least not be an assault on one's delicate senses (only, for some, on their sensibilities).
Cantara Trivia: - This was the only film (so far) in which I never engaged in intercourse. - What I did to the leading man at lunchtime gives a new meaning to the term craft services.
