Congrats to Sasha on the Playboy issue. She's really making a big noise in the mainstream media. I think this, GFE, Entourage are just the beginning for her and she will continue to do great things. However, I gotta say to a porn fan seeing Sasha naked in a Playboy is like having seen a lioness savagely take down an unsuspecting zebra versus seeing one lying asleep at the zoo. :)
I think that Sasha has actual acting talent and she has done something quite rare for an adult entertainer. I just don't think that the fact that she's basically playing herself on Entourage and has now appeared nude in Playboy in no way validates her as a mainstream actress. I would be more impressed if she had been hired to play a completely different character on Entourage and if instead of a nude spread she had done a lingerie spread in Playboy. Why not since Heidy Montag and Olivia Munn both appeared in playboy and somehow manage to do so without showing anything. I hope that she gets more opportunities so that she can demonstrate her acting talent but that won't happen if she's basically playing herself in movies and on TV.
I´ll never understand why it´s "a bolt move" to go to mainstream. If an actress "with brain" want´s to move on to other things why should she not ? There are quite some very talented people in the adult business otherwise they wouldn´t be on top for such a long time and "just" because someone does adult entertainment doens´t necessarily mean they are stupid. And who knows ... maybe you get fucked more in "mainstream" than in adult some times ?? Cube
In those pics above she doesn't look like the girl who was skyrocketing in porn a few years ago. Well....I mean...she does, but anyone who didn't know of her previously probably would never guess that she was a pornstar who pretty much did it all. She looks great as usual. *****The Dr. of Nasty*****
Like Doc Nasty said Sasha's looking so far and away as someone we watched do VERY dirty things on camera its crazy. Yet she still looks fuckin' hot. Lol. ----Dread----
I don't know what it is Officialy but I don't think she's done a single porn scene in over a year so I'd definetly classify her has retired. I know she hasn't closed the door on the porn world but I'll be very surprised the day she says she's coming back.
Well, just my hunch, I doubt porn can afford her services these days. I know of established producer/directors who may be sleeping in their cars soon. Bree Olsen's gold-plated anus and various comeback MILFs will have drained the coffers dry before the AVN awards are handed out in January.
In Rolling Stone, the price I heard was $5,000 for one b/g scene. Now, that was when The Girlfriend Experience had just come out, so I'm guessing that, if she's available, her rate is astronomical. She'll make more from one feature film role than she made in all of '07, when she was everywhere and in everything, and everything and everyone was in her.
I can't seeing Sasha coming back to porn. Five grand for a scene seems a bit too much, even for Sasha Grey. Maybe she comes back the day the mainstream offers dries up.
^I'm not sure if you meant that Sasha thought that she was worth 5000$ for a simple b/g scene but if that's the case then she is delusional. I don't even think she could have gotten that at the height of her popularity. We aren't talking about a celebrity making a porn movie but a porn actress that started doing mainstream work and might do more porn. I would say that a 4 or 5 figure amount could be undertandable if a very popular softcore or g/g only performer chose to do serious hardcore but otherwise she should get standard pay.

Funny thing about Sasha is that Doc Johnson has recently put out her pussy and I cant keep it on the shelf. This economy swallows may want to re-think attidudes.
I apologize in advance for not having read many of posts leading to my current one, but this subject is very compelling. Why would Sasha return to adult, or more appropriately, why the fuck wouldn't she? I loved Sasha from the moment I saw her in Slut Puppies (arf arf!), but I can't say that one star should command so much hype. There are dozens (probably much more) of women that currently hold my interest, not to mention those over the last 15-20 years I still have a fondness for in my heart (I'm talking about you Taylor Hayes, the Seymore Butts, not Vivid, version). Sasha was, and still is till she says she is not, a great young hard-edge performer, but she is not currently available, which is what makes us want her so G-damn much. It's like she's a contract girl to mainstream media, instead of Vivid, or Jenna, or whatever... The longer she's not on the gonzo circuit, the more she elicits the greedy little children in us all. Bree Olson is a great example, and she was still making scenes with Adam and Eve. We wanted her as a gonzo girl, open to any and all who could get her to shoot, and when she came back she became an instant money maker. What's the math on making money selling a video? For example, Bree gets 5k a scene, so the production company needs to sell 2-3 hundred units before they see a profit from her paycheck alone? And with people moving away from DVDs to web-content, they can buy just her scene online for a fraction of the cost. Will Sasha make money off her reputation as a hard-edge performer, because she needs to be ultra nasty for many of us to want to see her. Jenna Jameson was a fluke who rode the DVD revolution, the internet wave, and a certain awakening in America to the majority of adult stars being willful particpants, not victims of circumstance. There were many avenues for her to generate money that were not available to stars before her. Jenna was Jenna, but her time has passed. Can Sasha make money on simply her own web-based content, if that's how she chooses to return? Or is it more likely that she irons out a handful of deals with rights to a percentage of their return? I hardly think she'll be a mainstream film star, and I doubt it's her ambition. She'll need to make her future money in the adult industry - but in what capacity? Too many of you know waaaaaaaaay more about the financial viability of being a star, director, or production company than I, no doubt about it. I have a feeling that Sasha has a window of opportunity following The Girlfriend Experience, and she'll either jump into adult again to make some quick cash, or she'll stay out almost altogether because she believes there are other avenues for her to make money. That's what it's about, money. Here's an interestng question... Would you pay an extra 5$... 10$ for a video if it featured her? Say Jules Jordan re-released Dangerous Curves, which currently sells for around 30-35$, with a bonus scene of a recently shot Sasha Grey and it cost 35-40$ Would you buy it? Would you pay an extra 5$ each time she did a scene? That is probably a ludicrous question, but I always like to throw out a "what if", just to keep a creative perspective to a communal issue. Thanks gang, and sorry for a long, most likely rambling, incoherent post.

She was super popular when she quit porn so I'm sure she would still have a strong appeal but I think that ship has sailed. I may be wrong on this one but I truly believe that Sasha will never return to porn. It's not like there is anything that she didn't do while she was in porn.
She made hairy arms hot. You remember in like 5th grade, the girl with the hairy arms? Like ... black hair instead of blond hair? I don't know. It takes me back, somehow, to some early sexual stirrings.
I Melt With You it is Sasha's new "mainstream" movie and it caused a stir at Sundance it stars Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven, Carla Gugino, Thomas Jane this is the sort of project Sasha has been up to these days. it is safe to say she is way past the world of porn now. way past it crazy to see all her posts on this board from when she was just making her name
Sasha at Sundance. sigh. so weird to watch a video like Gang Bang #5 and then see these pics. unlike so many other hot girls, she has grown past porn. well done, Sasha Edited by - groin-grabbingly on 1/31/2011 10:24:41 PM
How long ago did Pornstar Superheroes come out? Because she was recently in that if I remember correctly. I can imagine the way she has things playing out, she's going to start veering away from porn and start going into broader territory. But, I definitely picture her doing a film or two occasionally in the future.
