They never did pay the actors much, the actresses got more, they worked in the principal that most of the men would have done it for free...

Saw this documentary not long ago. I got the impression that it doesn't necessarily pay much these days. One director (?) would urge his actors to have another/better source of income besides porn.

Not quite the picture the BBC article is painting.....hence my problem with it!

I guess he was mostly referring to younger entrants with potentially unrealistic hopes. Not many do it well enough to really make a living, as I understand it.

I meant I had a problem with the BBC ‘Newsbeat’ article from my original post; in my opinion it certainly does promote unrealistic hopes to the young.

Theroux also interviewed a woman who worked with administration, HR or something like that. I think she was responsible for receiving new girls, among other things. Theroux asked her if she used to inform/warn the girls about potentially negative future consequences of their choice, the low probability of success etc. She replied that the company would probably have run into recruitment problems if she had done so. Or something along those lines, depending on my memory.
