Thank you for your reply, which I was very pleased to read.
The most recent Double Boxed Set in the series to be announced as far as I know is for Hungarian star Rita Faltoyano. BTW, there is a separate topic about Rita nearby in "Star Crossed" and other stars are mentioned there too. You'll see there a very nice photo of Daniella taken at a party with Silvia Saint and Laura Angel.
If I may just mention regarding Rita, in all the latest DVD releases from "Private"(including one with a beautiful photo of Silvia on the front cover about white girls + black guys - maybe not politically correct!), there is a token supplied (like a credit card) inside the DVD box offering 24 hours free use of private.com also there is also a text number for Rita given as:- SMS: RITA +44 7870 200200 (standard local text message rate) where you can write to Rita and apparently someone will "Win a Date with a Private Star"!
I am not sure what the exact code would be from London? This information might be useful to you and other members. and maybe a London member is looking in (about the codes)
Best regards Victor, London. 1st March, 2003.
PS. I would be interested to see your letter to "Private" about the hoped for Daniella DVDs Set. Perhaps you would be good enough to post it up here and maybe others will follow suit (Petition style!).
Victor, This is a copy of the email I sent to Private:
Hello, I am a member of adultdvdtalk.com, and an avid collector of Private titles. I own 196 Private dvd's at this time. This is regarding a request to honor Daniella Rush with a Private Life of Daniella Rush double dvd. I'm sure you know that she is recovering from the accident, and I have kept in touch with her through email for about three months. She is walking with the use of two leg apparatus a small distance every day and is truly an inspiration. She has so many fans that the folder dedicated to her on the website has received over 3,300 people wanting to find the latest news and sending well wishes. She is a beautiful woman and a fantastic sexual performer over several years. Please think about letting her join the ranks of Monique Covet, Bettina, and the others in the Private Life series. Thanks and keep up the good work,
There are so many movie fans on here so I do hope some of the other supporters of delightful Daniella looking in will join in the petition (so to say) for "Private" to celebrate Daniella's fine contribution to glamour entertainment and if possible please take a few moments to write to "Private" at either DigitalMedia@private.com or info@private.com
Such a special "Private" DVD Collector's Box with a nice booklet for Daniella would be a fitting tribute to this lovely and tantalizing performer, who has proven to be a very plucky and determined young lady off-screen.
When Daniella is better, perhaps she'll even sign some of the booklets for us. [I have sent some little DVD insert booklets to one of Silvia Saint's team in Slovakia (at Wanda Polak's) and I am hoping to get them autographed when Silvia visits Wanda's Studios]
When Chris Alexander of "Anabolic" was in London some years ago, I asked him to autograph a "Buttman" Poster in a shop in town, which he happened to wander into with Tom Byron (they were on their way back to the USA from Cannes). Tom had recently cut his hair quite short! He told about filming with Angelica Bella (the Hungarian Goddess!) a few years back. By coincidence, the owner of that shop was the uncle of "Ronnie the Rocket" (the World Champion Snooker Player, Ronnie O'Sullivan) who is famous over here.
I am sure "Private" will come through for Daniella and thank you again for your effort, - and as they do say, "nothing ventured, nothing gained"
Best wishes from (warmish) London Sunday 2nd March 2003 9.10pm.

Dearest Loyal ClubSilviaSaint Members !
Re: To Support The Drive To Get "Private" Films & Media , To Make a Special Double DVD Set- Starring Lovely Czech *Star Daniella Rush !

Please everyone at the Club..support this drive and write to DigitalMedia@private.com And make our voices heard at the PRIVATE Media Headquarters..!!!
Right now is the perfect time to support the Star of Daniella Rush, because of her unfortunate accident.

I wish to Specially Thank Lovely Silvia,for allowing ClubSilvia Saint members..to honour and remember Daniella Rush in this way!
*Remember Good Ideas Are Often Great Ideas, We Just Have To Believe In What We Are Doing !*

Hi, like i promise to Victor i just write and send an e-mail to DigitalMedia@private.com to request that include Daniella Rush in the double DVD serie "the private life of". Here is a copy of the e-mail in english and spanish:
Hola. Me dirijo a ustedes con la intencion de pedirles que incluyan a Daniella Rush en la serie de doble dvd "the private life of" en honor a su gran carrera en la industria del cine adulto. Como todos sabemos Daniella esta recuperandose luego de haber sufrido un accidente automovilistico y gente de todo el mundo la apoyamos y nos preocupamos por saber como va su recuperacion (en este momento les escribo desde Argentina). Creo que Daniella es una de las mas grandes estrellas del cine adulto junto a Silvia Saint y Nikky Anderson y prueba de ello es la gran cantidad de escenas que ha hecho a lo largo de su carrera. Confio que tendran suficiente material como para incluirla en esta serie y espero que tomen en cuenta nuestro pedido. Gracias y espero tener noticias pronto.
Hi I write to you to request that include Daniella Rush in the double DVD serie "The private life of" in honour for her great career inside the adult industry. Like all we know, Daniella is getting better after a car accident and people around the world support her and worried about her recovery (right now i write to you from Argentine). I think that Daniella is one of the greatest pornstar like Silvia Saint and Nikky Anderson and proof of that is the grand quantity of scenes that she did along her career. I trust you have enought stuff to include her in this serie and i hope you take in mind our request. Thank you and i will waiting for news.
Grettings and thank you to Gabriel Nine for this topic about Daniella.
Thank you very much for posting up your letter to "Private" in support of Daniella (in two languages no less!).
"Private" is now based in Spain (it started in Sweden with Mr B.Milton) so their staff should have no problem in understanding your Spanish version.
In Argentina, is it the same language as Spain ?
Thank you again and I hope that some of the many USA fans will join the efforts to have "Private" celebrate delightful Daniella's great achievements - especially as she is so very popular over there.
Have you visited Silvia's Fan Club Site recently and seen the new photo of Daniella and Silvia? Daniella looks really dainty and sweet, as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth!
All the best, hasta la vista! (is that right?) Victor,London UK. 7th March 2003 9.56pm

Hi my friend Victor. Was a pleasure to me write that letter, you know Daniella worth it. And yes, we speak spanish here in Argentine, like in Spain. I was visiting the Silvia's fan club some minutes ago and i saw the picture of Silvia and Daniella; They look so wonderful together. I hope to see Daniella smiling, like in that picture, again (she look so sweet). If i have time tomorrow i will put greetings to Silvia for the woman day. Take care Victor and see you soon. (hasta la vista! is right)
I am glad I got the Spanish words correct - it comes from watching Arnie in one of the movies!
I checked out Silvia's Site, but there doesn't seem to have been any updating for 3 days!
Perhaps Belinda the Moderator is unwell.
You mentioned "Woman" Day - I've never heard of that one!
I am sending Daniella the latest news from this Site, where I see there have now been well over 4,000 viewings by well-wishers in the "Gabriel Nine" folder.
Daniella is on the e-mail at the hospital and perhaps you might like to send her a greetings message direct to the Czech Republic. Daniella is at:- daniellarush@post.cz
There is also a special section on Wanda's Site that was set aside for Daniella towards the bottom of the opening page at:- http://forum.wandapolak.com/ (the postings on Wanda Polak's Site go up very quickly whereas Silvia's ones take a fair bit longer)
I notice the Italian Site is a bit quiet, but I haven't joined it yet. You assisted another Silvia fan and I may need to ask your help too later on with the language translation on there.
Thanks again for your support for Daniella.
Best wishes from the UK. Victor, London. Sunday 9th March 1.26am.
I just got this e-mail from Daniela, thought I'd share it with you guys so you can have an update on her recovery progess:
Hi Axel, good to hear from you, I feel little better, I can walk with special aparates on my legs for like 40-50 m,I´m working on myself every day but sometimes I feel "the time going by", I will go home I think in 3-4 weeks and it will be hard to be back somewhere after such a long time and see everything and everybody what you missed a lot. I had kind of problems with my husband - "I drove the car and I changed your life for a long time or forever......" He wasI afraid to talk, to touch me and don´t hurt, we cryed so many times together.... I hope we will go over it, be happy even if it will be on a different way that we planed before, enjoy the live again.... we´ll see. I think about you time to time, you are a special man and I´m happy that I had the chance to meet you. Have a nice day and big kiss
Re: the "Darth-Morpheous" Member message which was posted - Sep 10 2002 : 12:32:23 AM as below,... "Best Wishes Daniella. I hope the fortunate members of the adult industry put together a fund for Daniella. She deserves it."
I don't know if Daniella's friends Mr Axel Braun and Mr Steve Holmes could possibly help to organise something along these lines, now that Daniella is returning home (but I expect not working as before) and has studies to do and expenses to meet and so on, - I would be very happy to make a contribution to an "Appreciation Fund" for Daniella say in time for her Birthday on September 17th or before, to be sent to Daniella in her home country (assuming there are no exchange controls?).
With Daniella's many fans all over the world, I am sure a nice sum could be raised and we could gift something back to a very sweet lady who has always given her all for us.
Do you think that this could be looked into please, Mr Braun, Mr Holmes ?
Thank you very much for your reply and positive response.
Do you think Mr Axel Braun could help here ?
Someone needs to check about whether money can be sent to the Czech Republic without exchange restrictions. I can try asking my local Bank in London. I am not sure what they will know? I guess it would need an account opened in the Czech Republic for Daniella to credit this to either en masse or by individual transfers (or both).
I would have thought fans might be happy to send $50 - $100 or whatever they can manage. Perhaps those still active in the movie business would wish to contribute even more.
If say even 200 fans and fellow performers joined in, it would make a nice gift in time for Daniella's Birthday on 17th September.
There have been lots of viewings on this topic (perhaps the greatest ever for a single posting originated by "Gabriel Nine" following information from yourself last year) and I am sure caring folks would join in and express their heartfelt appreciation to a most delightful and plucky star of the glamour movies who has entertained us all for several years in her own inimitable way!
A fan here in London has been in contact with Miss Andrea Pirova (who helps on Silvia Saint's Site at Wanda Polak's), and who has a senior position in the Slovak TV Station www.markiza.sk. A request can be made that they give this some publicity too later on. They have a daily news programme on the Web covering our topics etc. There is also another popular related Site that might help, owned by the same company, which is the largest commercial TV Station in the country.
We have a little time till September but I think we do need someone in the Czech Republic to help liaise things. In the USA, perhaps contributions could be held safely in trust for Daniella by Mr Braun or someone else known to Daniella and then transferred to the Czech Republic in one go?
Also for other various countries, perhaps a banking contact could be given set up for Daniella's use over there and we could transfer payments over (making sure we've got the right account!)
I think Daniella's bank people will have to help to ensure it reaches her safely. We need some help here. Is Mr Braun looking in please ? If so, perhaps he would speak to Daniella. The only thing is I am frightened that Daniella might be a bit embarrassed, especially given her very good and kind nature - but we should (gently) stress that we want to demonstrate our genuine appreciation and this is one way we feel we can all do this in a positive manner.
It would be very nice to hear from any other Members if they also would support this idea for an "Appreciation Fund" gift for Daniella's forthcoming Birthday?
Thank you. Best wishes from the UK. Met 16th April, 2003.
Thank you and I hope more of Daniella's friends and fans will write in.
In the meantime, we in London have written to the Slovak TV Station mentioned and copied it to Miss Silvia Saint herself in the Czech Republic asking if any advice and/or help with setting this up might be forthcoming as they are so close by.
One of our fans here helped (voluntarily) both the Wanda Polak in Slovakia and both Silvia's Sites (one free and one part-pay) with translations checking and other items for the Site.
I think Silvia is away at the moment taking a break however. Enquiries will be made about exchange controls (if any?) here. Maybe there are none these days. At one time, you couldn't take more than £50 out of the country!
Finally, maybe Mr Axel Braun might be looking in again soon with any possible advice for us and perhaps he would speak to Daniella personally to arrange some point of contact for transfers to the Czech Republic, etc or however it needs to be done!
Best regards, Met G. London, UK. Thursday 17-4-2003.
It would be wonderful if you could manage to do this for Daniella. There are still five months before Daniella's Birthday on September 17th, but maybe if things take off, the special presentation could be made even before then.
When things are more advanced, I will ask some other smaller Sites to publicise the effort too, including Silvia's Fan Club, as I am sure some of the fans on there will help. You may remember the nice message from Silvia (copied over onto this Site) originally posted on Yahoo in February 2003, after Silvia had spoken with Daniella.
We could also ask "Private" in Spain to make a goodwill contribution. Some of their best sellers were "The Bride Wore Black" and "The Academy" starring Daniella in the first and co-starring with Silvia in the second.
Maybe some other Studios (i.e Video Marc Dorcel) would join in too.
I am aware that Daniella is of course very famous and popular in the USA, so there should be a lot of support hopefully.
Thank you again so much Mr Braun and likewise Mr Steve Holmes.
Regards and "Happy Holiday"! (maybe a working one?) Met G. (London, UK) Friday 18th April, 2003.
Ok, guys,I found the perfect solution. American Express Gift Cheques. They come elegantly wrapped in a gold envelope, complete with a gift card to add your personal message. This way there's no problems with transfers of money, bank account and taxes. Also, since you can write on the gift card, she'll get more than just money. She'll know how much you appreciate her, and that will make her super-happy!
Let me know what you think.

I can't answer the rest of your questions to Axel, but Amex gift cheques can be purchased by anyone.
Here in the US, they tend to be purchased at banks. They are similar to traveller's checks, except that you make them out to someone else instead of for use by yourself.
1-800-788-7000 That's the number you should call to inquire about the Amex Gift Cheques. As Tricia wrote, they can be purchased even if you don't have an American Express Card. The name is DANIELA MOTLIKOVA. Make sure you spell it right, or she might have problems cashing them. As far as the address goes, you can send them to my P.O.Box: Axel Braun Productions-5425 Laurel Canyon Blvd #F-301 Valley Village, CA 91607. I'll be in Prague in the beginning of June, and it will be my pleasure to bring her all your gifts. You should all include your e-mail addresses, so she can thank you personally.
Your generosity and your determination to help is admirable, and should serve as a lesson to all the people who denigrate our business. Forgive me if I speak for Daniela, but what you're doing is absolutely beautiful, and I truly want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Thank YOU very much Mr Braun, Mr Steve Holmes, Miss Tricia Devereaux and all Daniella's friends and fans on here from all round the world. You have all done Daniella proud.
If it wasn't for Mr Holmes' very first message which 'Gabriel Nine' kindly conveyed onto ADT, there wouldn't have been all this interest (with over 5,000 viewings by well-wishers concerned about Daniella).
I hope that Daniella will continue to make progress with her mobility and maybe with medical improvements in the future, she will get better and better.
With your permission, I will now place this information on Silvia Saint's Yahoo Site, also the new Site in Iceland (presently being re-hosted) and also on the USA celebrity site. I am sure that Silvia herself will help too, as she is another lovely lady with a kind, modest and sweet nature.
Delightful and dear Daniella Rush will not be forgotten.
I wonder if you and/or Mr Holmes would contact "Private" and ask them to join in. Also Marc Dorcel, - I am certain they would respond. Rocco too.
I am still hopeful that "Private" will accede to recent requests by fans for a special celebration Double DVD Boxed Set for Daniella in honour of her fine contribution to the movies.
When you present the gifts to Daniella in Prague in the summer, maybe you will have some pictures taken for us all with you and Daniella together. That would be really nice. By that time hopefully, Daniella will be even stronger still and maybe at university for her medical studies.
The lovely message you once wrote about Daniella says it all.
I would like to repeat it here below one last time as it is so eloquent and a most fitting commendation to this brave and spirited young lady.
May God bless Daniella and keep her safe, healthy in body and happy in mind.
Mr Braun wrote:-
"Of all the adult actresses I had the chance to meet over the 20 years I've spent in the business, Daniela struck me for her intelligence, her determination and her commitment.
She is not only a generous performer, but most of all an incredible human being, and she truly deserves all the heartfelt attention that her fans have been giving her in this tragic situation.
People ask me every day if she will return to the business...well, I don't believe that's one of her main concerns right now. But stay assured, whatever her chosen career will be, she will certainly leave her mark."
It has been said "It is better to give than to receive"
We have received plenty from Daniella over the years, now it's our turn to reciprocate. I am sure that the fund will be successful too given Daniella's many great movies and popularity in the USA.
Thanks again for all your help and further to yesterday's arrangements (this particularly concerns UK fans),....
I contacted "American Express Europe Ltd." today (29th) over here in London. They have quite a few branches in Central London and another near London Airport (Heathrow) and I tried two branches and made five calls in all to them and others, as below.
Apparently, the "Amex Gift Cheque" that you described does not exist at all in England! The company said they had dealt with them but do not issue them in this country.
They suggested Amex Travellers Cheques made payable to the recipient but said there are some rules about having to witness the signing, etc., which I didn't quite understand. I have never seen a Travellers Cheque actually. *However see later (the UK Post Office's info!).
I then contacted my local High Street Bank. They said I could buy Dollar Banknotes in both one hundred or fifty dollar denominations and post them to the USA, but they said I should check first with the Post Office about loss in the post.
I said I thought there was "special delivery/insurance" normally up to £2,500 available for stuff sent through the post.
I then 'phoned the UK Post Office Headquarters and got another surprise. A big one!
The Post Office told me that sending of banknotes, cheques, etc through the post to the USA is absolutely prohibited and that envelopes are scanned and cash or cheques, money orders payable including gifts, etc would be confiscated by the USA Post Office!
The lady said several people had complained about cash gifts sent to friends in the USA having been seized. She said that this even applies to sending through the post USA Banknotes also bank drafts, money orders, etc.
I asked her then how does anybody buy anything from America and pay for it ? How do people conduct trade ? The lady said by using a Credit Card or "Bank to Bank" Direct Transfer.
By this time, my head was spinning a bit with all this "red tape"!!
The UK Post Office lady added that (flower) plants were also prohibited by the USA Post Office, also "obscene" material (I didn't comment on that one!).
She stressed that it was the USA Post Office who made these Rules not them. The lady said she had a big book of rules and regulations (not available at the local Post Office nor on the Web, when I enquired about seeing it for myself).
MY SUGGESTION: Can I therefore send our contribution either direct to Daniella's Bank A/C or to your company's -whatever is preferred or possible. I would think that the bulk of support is coming from your side in the USA, so at least hopefully you will have the Amex Gift Cards from USA fans, but I am afraid it seems that we over here have to do it by direct Bank Transfer.
I believe you have my (and another) e-mail address for contact. Perhaps you would let me know directly if I may therefore send the sum of $350 direct to one of the Banks (either Daniella's or your company's) if possible. Obviously, it's best to give Bank A/C payee details separately off the Web.
NB. If any other UK fans who want to contribute have any other ideas, please they would be kind enough to contact me separately by e-mail.
Anyway, one way or the other, this technical glitch will be sorted out I am sure well in time for your visit to Prague in the summer. Sorry about these gremlins! They will be overcome!
Thank you again. Sincerely, Met. pp. four of the London Fans.
You can send travelers cheques. I've done it before. I don't remember the procedure, but I think it was something like a double signature required, which means you would have to leave one blank. The only risk is that if somebody steals them, it's the same as cash. Just make sure you Fedex them and send me a tracking number.
Thank you.
Axel Braun General Manager Elegant Angel Productions
Thank you for your prompt reply and information. I didn't know who "Fedex" was, so I 'phoned the UK Post Office Headquarters again.
Lucky I did because this time another person answered from the "Call Centre". I explained about my earlier conversation with his colleague and the dire warnings she gave me about the scanning of material and confiscation of banknotes, cheques, etc. by the USA Post Office.
The gentleman explained that "Fedex" is nothing to do with the Post Office but is a private courier. However, he said he thought what I had been told about prohibited items didn't sound right.
I mentioned the Book of Rules & Regulations that his colleague had quoted to me in great detail (plants, etc). He got his own copy of the Book out and assured me that he had the most up to date one. He also said I could ring the American Embassy 020 7 499 9000 here in London.
He checked the Book but said he could not find any reference as to banknotes, cheques, money orders being prohibited by the USA Post Office.
I was flabbergasted as I had related to him all that I'd been told earlier today and I said that I had even put all this information on the Web in case donations by UK fans were liable to be seized, etc.
I asked if he should check with the Supervisor, but he said that he had the Rule Book and there was nothing whatsoever about all this for the USA.
I didn't know what to say as I had been told two completely different accounts within the space of an hour or so!
I said I would 'phone the American Embassy to see if they would confirm things one way or the other.
Just as I was about to ring off, the gentleman said he had just noticed that where the page for the rules for the USA ended there is another following page, which is for URUGUAY and he said that's where all these Prohibitions are set out! - nothing to do with the USA after all!
What a carry on! Good job I made that second call.
Tomorrow (as it's too late now) I will purchase $350 in banknotes and pay the fee for exchange rates, etc and post them to your office by special delivery/insured via the UK Post Office, which is easier for me, as I don't know about "Fedex". I hope this is alright, as it will be easy for me to do and have the envelope on its way to you tomorrow by special delivery.
I will be fully insured even if the notes got stolen. Perhaps, you would then be good enough to change the cash into vouchers when you get my special delivery envelope. I have written a greetings card for Daniella which I got long ago, but didn't know where to send it.
Sorry for the incompetence of our UK Call Centre, which got me needlessly worrying how to get round this problem.
I have set all this out (blow by blow) for the benefit of any UK fans, who might be told the same alarming nonsense that I was earlier today. I asked that this matter be reported to the Supervisor so that other callers are not given entirely wrong information and frightened out of their wits!
Perhaps you will let me know when my envelope and card arrives safely.
Regards, Met (for 4 London fans) Tuesday 29th April, 2003.
PS. Is there anybody on here who could please tell me separately, how to print off a Web page without losing three or four words from the whole of the right-hand side. Some of the earlier pages on 'Gabriel Nine's topic fit in but the later ones (pages 5 & 6) don't seem to be aligned in the same way. When printed out, a whole blank area is on the left at the expense of losing text on the right. I have adjusted Internet Explorer "Page Set Up" to the smallest permissible margins both sides and also adjusted the "View" to the smallest size in Outlook Express 6, but I still can't fit the whole of the ADT messages in when printing them out.I have Win98SE, Office Premium2000, HP Laser Jet6L Printer (Blk/Wht). Thank you:
PPS. I apologise for any typing errors, as I can't get the "Preview" button to work anymore.

Met- Fedex is Federal Express. This and UPS (United Parcel Service) (and maybe DHL) are the 3 biggest private couriers here in the USA that also seem to be pretty big in Europe.

Met- as for your printing problem, when I want to print out threads from ADT, I usually just copy and paste them into a word processing program like Microsoft Word. There's most likely something within IE that someone else could tell you about, but my way works OK in the meantime.
Met, I would still feel more comfortable if you didn't send cash. Maybe you could wait a few days and let me research the thing better. I just don't have a tremendous amount of time on my hands right now, but I can try to make some calls over the weekend. Thank you.
Axel Braun General Manager Elegant Angel Productions
Thank you so much. I had heard of "DHL". The well-known British Television advert of theirs has the song "Ain't no mountain high enough ...." as the parcels go whizzing over mountains speeding on their way to customers.
BTW, who sang that ? Was it the Supremes or another group ? However, I hadn't come across the other two firms at all.
Thank you also for the computer tip about transferring the ADT Web text into a "Word" document. There are probably a couple of ways of doing this (Insert or Copy & Pasting) I expect. I can get some help I think on this if I can't sort it out, but I'll have to use some other material to test the pastes on !
Good news! We just heard from Silvia tonight - she's in Portugal! We were getting worried because Silvia had been away from her Site for many weeks.
I don't know if Silvia is filming or doing new photo shoots. "Private" wanted her to do her old style stuff and host a new movie (Private Stars) but Silvia wasn't keen on the old style work, but instead wanted to do just a "hosting" role along with her friends I think Jenna Jameson and another famous American actress, I think it was Jill Kelly her friend with whom she used to film. I don't know what happened in the end. I suspect Silvia stuck to her guns.
Silvia's free fan Site is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ClubSilviaSaint/
Maybe you'd pay us a surpise visit on there one day ? Jenna has been on, writing to Silvia "Hey Gorgeous" !
It would be an honour if you would come on and say hallo to the fans and maybe tell us about Evil Angel and Buttman's news, etc.
Many of the fans are from East Europe and I don't think they get to see the latest movies at all. But they are very clued up on "vidcaps" and "pics" etc, which I know nothing about. I don't think they get the "Private" mags over there either (i.e. Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary) but I know that they are very skilled on the photo clips side, etc.
"Evil Angel" is the most popular American label in London. The original red-boxed DVDs fetch the highest prices (retailing @ £50 each). There are also some "R18" versions licensed to one of the merchants (the uncle of the World Champion Snooker Player in fact) or his associates. You may have met him in America (Danny). I believe he sat at Rocco's table at an Awards Dinner about two years ago.
Tricia, it's now after 4.40am and I have to write one last message on here in reply to Axel's message, then I must get some rest.
All best wishes and thank you for your kindness across the miles!
Sincerely, Met UK Wednesday 30th April, 2003. 4.45am
I will await your further news either on here or by e-mail.
I could also obtain a Banker's Draft and have it sent to your company or to you in the equivalent Sterling Pounds in English currency but I don't think I can obtain a Draft in dollars in any local British Bank.
Alternatively, maybe there's an American Bank who could convert the Draft to a Dollar one (if that's done ?)
I expect I can easily send your company a direct Bank Transfer. I think that would be in Sterling but presumably, it would be paid to you in your currency.
Anyway, we'll sort it out. We have plenty of time.
I wanted to sort out the UK arrangements as I am hoping that other UK fans will join in and support the effort, as I am sure the many USA fans and some of the USA and continental movie stars will too. Hopefully, Steve Holmes can try to speak to "Private" and "VMD" as well.
I and others have already sent "Private" news and copies of messages about Daniella from time to time. I don't know how much notice they take of "crazy fans" but they will listen to movie stars and colleagues I think.
Sorry to give you this extra work and turning you into a financial adviser expert!
Goodnight from London. Thanks again for all your help. Good luck with your company work.
Regards, Met. Wednesday 30th April, 2003. 5.03am (and now going to get some rest before it gets light again!)

I am glad if I helped in any way. It is nice to see the adult industry come together and aid someone who needs help.
Well, I am still at it despite the UK Post Office driving me potty with all sorts of scares!
You might notice that in some of the earlier postings, letters and messages have been e-mailed direct to digitalmedia@private.com and info@private.com asking about a special celebration DVD pack for Daniella (The Private Life of ....)
I am sure the "Private" have a lot of material in stock, interview material, shorts, features, outtakes, etc. They might even re-release "The Bride Wore Black" perhaps with a commentary from Daniella and David Perry which wouldn't involve physical strain to Daniella.
They could take new interviews with some of her past co-stars (David Perry, Lea De Mae, Silvia Saint, etc. and her main "Private" Director, Englishman Frank Thring). If I could, I would do the project myself without payment. "Private" also have a whole lot of photo material which could be amalgamated into a special book and included with the Dvds and so on.
Where there's a will, there's a way!
If you are minded to, another request to "Private" would not be amiss.
Your thoughtful suggestion in that September posting was the sowing of the "good seed" and we shall soon see the good fruits harvested for delightful Daniella, of that I am quite certain!
Regards, Met. Thursday May Day 1.33am.
PS. There's a very nice picture of Daniella with Silvia on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ClubSilviaSaint/ (it's Silvia's Fan Club, you need to register - it's all free). Daniella looks real sweet and dainty on there! Silvia looks very happy, smiling away. It seems to have been taken on a movie set. Thank you!
Dear Members of ADT, The following has been posted on the "celebs" Site mentioned in earlier postings. Next up is Silvia Saint's Fan Club Site and also Wanda Polak's "Daniella Section", as well as Konni's "Daniella Section" on his new Site (when it's re-hosted). I hope the address for Axel Braun is set out correctly! Please see below,....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Dear Friends and Fans of Daniella Rush,
Movie Producer Axel Braun (the General Manager of "Elegant Angel" Studio in America and the son of the very famous movie maker and "King of Porn" Lasse Braun) is going to visit Prague in early June.
He will visit Daniella Rush and bring her all the cards and gifts being sent in by fans all around the world.
You can send your greetings card for Daniella to Mr Braun in the USA at the address he has given on the ADT Site.
If you are in the USA and you want to send a Gift Cheque to Daniella as well, please read all the details below or check on the ADT Site for all the information about the "Daniella Rush Appreciation Fund"
Mr Braun is at:-
Axel Braun Productions 5425 Laurel Canyon Blvd #F-301 Valley Village, CA 91607 United States of America.
Mr Braun's message on the ADT Site reads in full,....
"1-800-788-7000 That's the number you should call to inquire about the Amex Gift Cheques. As Tricia wrote, they can be purchased even if you don't have an American Express Card. The name is DANIELA MOTLIKOVA. Make sure you spell it right, or she might have problems cashing them. As far as the address goes, you can send them to my P.O.Box: Axel Braun Productions-5425 Laurel Canyon Blvd #F-301 Valley Village, CA 91607.
I'll be in Prague in the beginning of June, and it will be my pleasure to bring her all your gifts. You should all include your e-mail addresses, so she can thank you personally.
Your generosity and your determination to help is admirable and should serve as a lesson to all the people who denigrate our business. Forgive me if I speak for Daniela, but what you're doing is absolutely beautiful, and I truly want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart."
For Daniella: the following text was e-mailed from London to Silvia Saint's Yahoo Site re. the campaign for Daniella. NB. The ADT Photo of Axel Braun is unfortunately not shown on here:- ............................................................
Dear fans of Daniella Rush on Silvia’s Fan Club Site,
"Daniella Rush Appreciation Fund"
As you may have read on this Site and the USA ADT Site, the delightful Czech moviestar and friend of Silvia’s, Daniella Rush has been in hospital for 10 months following a serious car accident in her home country last summer. Daniella is pictured together with Silvia in a very nice photo, taken at a movie set, on the opening page of the Fan Club Site -http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ClubSilviaSaint/
Daniella is we believe now back at home and is able to walk some distances with apparatus and we hope that further progress will be made in the future. Daniella is also hoping to resume her medical studies at University in the Czech Republic.
Obviously, whilst in hospital, Daniella has been unable to continue with her wonderful movie work as she did before. Daniella is very famous and popular in the USA and Europe with the various American Studios as well as Marc Dorcel (VMD) and Private i.e. “The Bride Wore Black”, “The Academy” (with Silvia) both on “Pirate Video De Luxe”.
It has been suggested by USA and UK fans that Daniella's fellow artists and many fans may like to show their appreciation of Daniella's contribution to the adult movie world by presenting her with a gift in time for or before her next Birthday (September 17th).
Mr Axel Braun, Movie Producer and General Manager of the well known "Elegant Angel" Studio in the USA and the son of the famous "King of Porn" Lasse Braun has kindly offered to help the effort. There is also support from popular movie star Mr Steve Holmes and the USA Moviestar and Producer, Miss Tricia Devereaux [who produced Rocco's latest epic film by John Stagliano (Buttman) entitled "The Fashionistas" - which has won 10 AVN Awards in the USA!] along with fans around the world. I expect other movie artists will also join in. As Miss Devereaux said “We all love Daniella”!
Fans in the USA are sending “American Express Gift Cheques” for Daniella (made out to DANIELA MOTLIKOVA) as contributions to the fund.
Fans outside the USA are using another method (as American Express Gift Cheques are not issued in the UK), to be finalised with Mr Braun. Whether you send a greetings card or a card with a gift, your participation and gesture will be greatly welcomed.
Anything that you would like to send to Daniella should please be forwarded to Mr Axel Braun in California, USA and Mr Braun will then personally present them to Daniella when he visits Prague in early June 2003. Mr Braun’s address in the USA is:-
Mr Axel Braun, Axel Braun Productions 5425 Laurel Canyon Blvd #F-301 Valley Village, CA 91607 United States of America.
Mr Braun is a true friend of Daniella’s and last year when Daniella’s accident was first in the news, Mr Braun wrote this message about Daniella on the Web (which was originally posted on the ADT Site https://www.adultdvdtalk.com/ (in the "Star Crossed" Forum under a posting by 'Gabriel Nine') and is now reproduced on other Sites too where Daniella has supporters and fans).
Mr Braun wrote these special words:-
".....Of all the adult actresses I had the chance to meet over the 20 years I've spent in the business, Daniela struck me for her intelligence, her determination and her commitment. She is not only a generous performer, but most of all an incredible human being, and she truly deserves all the heartfelt attention that her fans have been giving her in this tragic situation. People ask me every day if she will return to the business...well, I don't believe that's one of her main concerns right now. But stay assured, whatever her chosen career will be, she will certainly leave her mark....."
1-800-788-7000 That's the number you should call to inquire about the Amex Gift Cheques. As Tricia wrote, they can be purchased even if you don't have an American Express Card. The name is DANIELA MOTLIKOVA. Make sure you spell it right, or she might have problems cashing them.
As far as the address goes, you can send them to my P.O.Box: Axel Braun Productions-5425 Laurel Canyon Blvd #F-301 Valley Village, CA 91607.

I had wanted to print off this Daneilla topic to show would-be contributors in shops in town (who are making their fortunes from the movies!) but no matter what I try, direct printing, copy to Word 2000 or even Microsoft Front Page Editing (of which I understand little), I cannot seem to get the whole text on the printed sheet.
If you look at the first page of this topic, where 'Gabriel Nine' started this off, the first page fits on the screen and on the printed paper O.K. but later sheets all seem to go much wider ?
If I try to manually re-type sheets in MFG, then an extra space comes up between each line (like double spaced letters) and looks bad.
Why do later pages on the same topic change in width I was wondering. Is it dependent on the length of sentences ?
Regards, Puzzled of London! Wednesdsay 7th May, 2003.
PS. Is moviestar Steve Holmes the same actor who is with Silvia at the end of "Dangerous Things 2" (PRIVATE-PENTHOUSE) playing the Devil (and laughing like Vincent Price! plus in the outtake left on the film). If not, who is it please ?
Well - I've just heard that Steve Holmes says that he has never filmed with Silvia Saint, so who is that actor who is the "Devil" in "Dangerous Things 2" at the end laughing madly whilst playing the piano and in the Blk/Wht outtake but left in the movie?
More news on contributions for Daniella (for UK fans) in next message.
As discussed, unfortunately, we have no Amex Gift Cheques in this country!
Just a few minutes agao, I have received an e-mail from a friend of Steve Holmes who actually lives in Prague and has kindly offered to liaise to receive my payment of $350 for the "Daniella Rush Appreciation Fund". Steve arranged this whilst in Chile!
With your agreement Axel, I will then send my contribution to Steve's friend for him to pass on to Daniella. I am e-mailing you and Miss Devereaux separately with full details.
If this is O.K. with Axel, if any other UK fans want to help Daniella, please e-mail me separately for more information.
Steve's friend in Prague wrote that he wishes to contribute too.
I hope that the USA fans on this Site are supporting the effort and that you will be getting lots of cards and contributions for Daniella in time for your visit to her country next month.
Steve Holmes has supplied me with contacts for Chris Alexander at Anabolic, Marc Dorcel, also another contact for Private.
I am writing to them all immediately asking them to please join in this special effort for Daniella.
Best wishes from London. Thank you again for all you are doing for Daniella. Regards, Met. Thursday 8th May, 2003.
Further to my last posting, the following letter seeking support for the "Daniella Rush Appreciation Fund" was sent to ANABOLIC VIDEO, MARC DORCEL & PRIVATE Studios earlier this evening at the personal contact addresses supplied to me by Steve Holmes this afternoon.
There must be other USA Studios would might join in this effort first suggested by Darth-Morpheous on this Site. Perhaps longstanding members in the USA would help out with some more requests to ensure the success of this effort.
Thanks to Steve Holmes' referral in the Czech Republic, I am hoping to get our contribution of $350 to date off tomorrow direct to the Czech Republic (as unlike the USA, we have no Amex Gift Cheques in the UK to send via Axel Braun).
Mr Holmes has pledged a substantial sum and his friend (whose good friend, Svetlana/"Meridian", knows Daniella very well) wishes to join in too. Steve's friend will be pleased to meet up with Axel in Prague in June and give him any gifts received by him direct from UK fans, etc. for Daniella so that they can all be handed over together by Axel when he sees Daniella in June on his visit to Prague.
Hopefully, everything is now rolling!
Thank you very much to everyone who has been kind enough to join in to make this idea a reality and let Daniella know that she is not out of our minds or hearts.
Please see below:- (the full letter is set out for completeness) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To,
Chris Alexander, “Anabolic Video”, USA.
Marie Laurence, “Video Marc Dorcel”, France.
Charles Prast, “Private”, Spain.
Dear Chris, Ms Laurence and Mr Prast,
I am writing to you about the delightful and popular Czech movie star Daniella Rush (as seen in the memorable Private movie “The Bride Wore Black” directed by Englishman Frank Thring, who also worked with Silvia Saint many times). As you may know, Daniella had a serious car accident last summer and has been in hospital in Prague for 10 months.
For many months, Daniella was unable to walk at all and is now able to manage 40/50m walking with some apparatus. We hope that further medical advances and more improvements will take place. Daniella is hoping to resume her medical studies at University when she returns home to further her recovery.
Fans of Daniella in the USA and the UK have suggested an artists and fans effort to send Daniella a gift in time for her Birthday (September 17th), and it has been suggested that it be called the "Daniella Rush Appreciation Fund".
Daniella’s film fans, co-stars and friends in the adult movie world have been invited to contribute whatever they can to the fund for Daniella as a gesture of our appreciation and good wishes for a very charming and plucky young lady.
Mr Axel Braun of Elegant Angel and son of “The King of Porn” Lasse Braun (whose movies we used to watch over here 30 years ago!) is helping.
Mr Steve Holmes, Miss Tricia Devereaux, Mr Dick Miller and numerous fans around the world are supporting the effort.
Please see below a summary posting that I sent to be published on Silvia Saint’s Yahoo Site at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ClubSilviaSaint/ which should appear in a short while (their updating has been a bit slow of late!). It also appears on the ADT Site https://www.adultdvdtalk.com/ where this idea first took seed following a posting by ADT member, “Darth-Morpheous” last year.
There is a whole topic with many postings and over 5,600 viewings to date on the latter Site - please see “Gabriel Nine’s posting about “Daniella Rush Accident” in the “STAR CROSSED” Forum.
Daniella made many films and is very well known in the USA.
We in the UK saw more of Daniella in the various “Private” (Pirate Video De Luxe) movies and in the elegant “Marc Dorcel” titles. Daniella filmed with Silvia in “The Academy” and I believe in others.
Miss Devereaux said in the USA “We all love Daniella ” !
Silvia Saint posted the following message on her Site in mid-February 2003. ...........................................................
From: clubsilviasaint Date: Sat Feb 15, 2003 5:12 am
Subject: D. Rush!!!
Let us all pray for my good friend and star Daniella for good recovery, Daniella sends her best and I say from my heart I hope she gets well. I spoke to her last night and she wished me happy Birthday.
I wonder if you would support this effort and it would strengthen it no end to have some of the famous movie makers joining in. For the USA, American Express Gift Cheques are being sent to Axel Braun made out to DANIELA MOTLIKOVA. UK fans are sending a money transfer to Mr Dick Miller (friend of moviestar Steve Holmes). I am copying this to everyone so contact can easily be made with one person or the other.
Regards from a London fan, Thursday 8th May, 2003.
PS. Chris, - I once met you in a Soho Video Shop on the corner of Walkers Court, when you and Tom Byron were on your way home from Cannes. You had a video camera with you. Tom had his hair cut short. I asked you to sign a “Buttman” Poster (young lady bending over!) that was on the shop wall. The owner of the shop gave you a few bits and pieces as a souvenir of your coming in. He had originally thought you were the “Buttman” because you had your camera and you and Tom were talking about the various stars showing on the video boxes on display on the shelves. I asked Tom about Angelica Bella! (my great favourite of the early days). The inside of the shop was also later featured in a “Ben Dover” movie! Rocco filmed outside it too once (a street scene only).
Here is the letter I sent to be posted on Silvia’s free Fan Site a few days ago:-
