I was just wondering in the movie The Resurrection of Eve, how do we know legally Nancy Weich is 18 or over on this movie as she says she isn't on the movie and is in a sex scene. As on the back cover of the DVD is says 'This product and all graphical materials associated with it are exempt from the requirements of of 18 U.S.C section 2267 because all visual depicitions of sexually explicit conduct appearing therein were made before July 3rd, 1996.'

Prior to 1995, record keeping of performers' age was not enforced, and all hc movies and material made prior to date is not bound by record keeping legislation. This came into effect after the Traci Lords and Alexandria Quinn underage scandals. So when you see the disclaimer you have quoted on a Video/DVD cover it means the producers/distributors do not have to provide proof or records of the performers' age.

Thanks for the reply. Do you think all the actors in this movie are of legal age? The Resurrection of Eve by the Mitchell Brothers?

I have no way of knowing for this or nearly all other movies produced.
The onus is on the director/production company making the film to ensure no minors were/are hired to perform sex acts.
Until about 1988 adult movie performers (in USA) were regarded as "prostitutes" and hard core movie production had to be done on the sly. Producers had a lot on the plate dealing with such things and certainly did not want to end up in jail for hiring underage people.
I would asssume that on occasion some performer may have shown fake ID's to show she may have been of age when she was not. We know of some (Traci Lords, Alexandria Quinn, Kristara Barrington, possibly Ali Moore, and some Euro performes like Lydia Chanel, Tabatha Cash, etc). Not sure, but Jean Jennings was said to be 17 when she started doing porn, but I have no personal knowledge/proof of this. Candy Barr was underage when she starred in that famous stag movie ("Smart Alec") back in the 1950's and that scene has been included in movies and compilations of recent times.
I don't know why your particular interest in THE RESURRECTION OF EVE or Nancy Weich as to whether she was of legal age or not. Is it simple curiosity, passing interest, you are a personal fan, or do you fear you will get into trouble for possession of this movie if it if discovered one or more performer in the movie was underage? You need not have such fears. It is assumed that all performers were of legal age at time of production, and the authorities will not go on a witchhunt to arrest any one in possession of this movie. In addition you should know that the Mitchell Bros were frequently arrested/charged for obscenity during the golden age of porn, and they beat the rap every time. I would think that they did their homework well and did not knowingly hire anyone that was under age.

Where do you get the information from that Tabatha Cash or Julia Chanel were under 18 when they started? Both of them are born in 1973 and they both started doing porn in 1992.

Thanks Len,
Well it was just in the movie the Resurrection of Eve in the first scene the girl says she is 12-13 years old so I was a bit shocked?. Or is that allowed for an actress in a porn movie to say she is underage when really she is 18 or over? This movie is available to buy on DVD and to watch online.

In the old days and even in recent times some actreses portrayed underage girls (even though they were not) for "dramatic" purposes. The producers got away with it because the laws were different then. Even in some old Max Hardcore movies/scenes some of the girls say and indicate they are not 18 and even in some scenes it is suggested they may not be.

And how do you conclude Tabatha Cash started doing porn in 1992? Do you know her very first hc movie?
I don't know all the sources for her origins, as I did not keep the various links where that was said or written about. I believe she has confessed that she was into prostitution and stealing (for which she was convicted) when she was 17. She started acting in hc movies (with real breasts) as "Celine" and othetr various aliases in Europe at least as early as 1991 when was not yet 18. She then went to work in the USA for a while, returned to France and soon abandoned her career. I would surmise there are a handful of movies floating around she shot in Europe when she was not yet 18.

As for Lydia/Julia Chanel apparently she did quite a few hc movies in France before she turned 18, and I believe she confirmed it in "GANG BANG POUR SALOPES DECHAINEES" (1992,Starchild)(France).

Not quite sure if you are referring to people faking ID's or whether performers indicate in the film they are not quite of age.
The fact that it's been quiet on the "western" front with regards to underage scandals of late, I would assume that people are doing their job right and are taking the right proof of age and evidence.
I recall seeing a Rocco Siffredi BTS scene in which the on-set photographer was shooting pictures of each performer and asking them to hold their passport page next to their face to ensure proof of age was obtained and strictyly enforced.
No system is perfect but a passport is probably the best proof one can take/have in this day and age.

As far as I know Tabatha shot her first movies for Hans Moser and Magma in 1992. She did pose nude for magazines before that. The date on EGAFD for Olymp der Luste is wrong, it was produced in 1992.

We are all in "as far as I know" territory with Cash. She had a troubled youth. I recall seeing stories on the web in the mi-late 1990's that she was frequenting some bad people, became a thief and was into prostitution. It was widely circulated that she began her hc career when she was not yet 18.
Unfortunately neither you or I know all of her movies, or when they were actually made. She shot in France, Germany and Italy at the time using a number of names. I only started seeing soome of her Euro stuff in very late 1992-early 1993. She did not only shoot for Hans Moser, but for many others.
