This is a bit of a tangent, but I'd bet there are plenty of porn performers that could turn in credible performance as actors if they were working under conditions that were anything like a feature film set, even if it was just the conditions on a low-budget indie.

Conversely, take Meryl Streep or Robert DeNiro and ask them to do what they do under "porn set" conditions and with a porn director, and I'm sure you'd get less than Oscar caliber performances.

Jenna can act? To be honest, I never noticed but I'm also a huge Jenna fan, Sanders. I hear that she's doing something on Broadway, so it must be true.

btw, you have my interest piqued regarding Jenna's Revenge.

This is an old B'way producer's trick. Put a celebrity in a role that doesn't demand much in the way of singing or dancing, and let the chips fall where they may with respect to acting. It really doesn't matter, because people are coming to see the celebrity in-the-flesh, not to judge their acting. Grease was kept alive for years by rotating various well-knowns though the role of Rizo.

Jenna's role on Broadway means two things:

That she's reached the point where her name on the marque will sell tickets.

That porn is close enough to being ligit that producers aren't worried about losing ticket sales by association (if I were producing, I'd hire some picketter for her openning nigh performance)

I thought she was pretty good in "Jenna's Revenge."
