Sylvia Kristel recently passed away at the age of 60. I have been a HUGE fan of Sylvia's ever since I was a lust-starved teenager and I saw her in the eighties soft-core "classic" flick Private Lessons where she played a maid who gets in on with, shall we say, a younger gentleman (and is a flick that would be controversial even by today's far-more-lenient cinematic standards). She also starred in the movie adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's "erotic" novel Lady Chatterley's Lover--which was the 50 Shades Of Grey of it's day--and the by-now-classic soft-core "erotic" classic Emmanuelle that put her on the cinematic map and it's subsequent sequels (my own personal favorite in the Emmanuelle series is its sequel Joys Of A Woman that's about a reel or two away from an actual porno flick!). She also starred in a number of "cult" films such as the prison flick Red Heat where she rapes fellow inmate Linda Blair (yes, the little girl from The Exorcist, although she certainly WASN'T a "little girl" in this flick!). Although Sylvia was best known as being one of the first "adult" film stars, at least one of the better known ones (Linda Lovelace, are you listening?), she was still one of the more underrated actresses who wasn't afraid to show a little skin now and then (well, maybe NOT so little, if you know what I mean, and I'm, of course, sure that you do, you pervs!)!
