Georgina Spelvin is a living legend in the X-rated erotica industry: as the subtitle to her book puts it - "erotic icon of the seventies". An experienced and independent woman in her late thirties when she freely chose to make adult "porn" movies, Spelvin rapidly shot to fame in the early days of the narrative adult film era after a starring role in one of the most acclaimed adult films of all time, The Devil in Miss Jones directed by Gerard Damiano. This film, and Spelvin's subsequent work, emerged at a time when porn, although still only quasi-legitimate, was beginning to be reviewed by mainstream presses such as Variety and the New York Times. The legitimization of porn as adult erotic entertainment developed in tandem with Spelvin's career in what she describes as "fuck films". This makes her memoir an important social document of the immediate post sexual-revolution era.
