Gene Ross reports. Gene interviews Trisha Rey.

Anthony Hardwood, 37, did his first scene for Patrick Collins in 1996 in Budapest. Since then, he's done about 800.

He grew up in a small town (Onoshaza) 150 miles from Budapest. He was constantly in trouble and ran with a gang. "Somebody almost killed me. I got shot in my thigh."

Anthony says life didn't change much when communism ended in his country. The Hungarian economy struggles.

"I love f---ing and I hate diseases."

He's lived in America for seven years. "You just get married [to get a Green Card]."

Anthony says one of the highlights of his time in porn was a boy-girl-girl scene he with Jenna Jameson and Monica Sweetheart (even though he didn't have sex with Jenna as she is exclusive to her husband Jay Grdina).

Anthony recently lost his girlfriend of nine years. She's a mainstream model who would no longer put up with him working in porn. "When you're f------ five, six, seven girls a week, when you go home, you don't want to be sexual."

Hardwood works as a personal trainer.

I interview Brittney Skye. "I always wanted to be a cheerleader. I always wanted to be pretty. I was a cheerleader for two years in highschool.

"Since an early age, I've had a thing for blonde girls with big boobs."

Skye got her's six years ago (she entered porn two years later). She worked in retail before porn.

"I didn't do that good [in school] once I discovered boys and snowboarding."

Brittney started having sex at age 13 and slept with about 15 guys by the time she graduated.

She began smoking marijuana at 16.

Duke: "What are your ambitions?"

Brittney: "Make money and retire. Travel. Marry and have kids and a big house. Be president of the PTA.

"It's been a while since I've had a boyfriend I actually like, more than in the bedroom.

"At first [guys] are ok with [Brittney being a porn star], but once they start caring, they don't like it anymore. At my stage of life, I just say goodbye. I can't take a break and come back in a year and expect to be as busy and make as much money as I do now.

P.J. Sparxxx leaves a phone message for photographer Dr X.

I interview Sammie Rhodes (naturally 32D) from Fresh Talent Management.

"I wanted to be a vet, then I wanted to be a lawyer, then psychology. I changed so many times. I had big goals planned for my life and here I am.

"My parents never expected anything. I was a straight-A student. Very focused. They never pressured me. Just do what makes me happy. Very supportive.

"I graduated early [from highschool]. I went to three different colleges and I didn't graduate from any of them.

"My [older] brother was worried [when Sammie entered porn]. He didn't say anything. It made him uncomfortable. He heard everything from his friends. My sister was thinking I was the devil and I was ruining my parents life. Just very bitter and very angry. My parents are accepting if I'm safe and I'm happy and I'm doing well for myself.

"Since I've been out here, I've cleaned up my life. Just being young and destructive and the usual teenage find-your-life pattern. A lot of drinking and my fair share of everything. Now I just want to be straight and sober."

Duke: "Porn helped you get straight?"

Sammie: "My agent Skooby. He whipped my ass in shape real fast. The first week I got here, he said, 'Uh uhh. You've got to cut that s--- out. You're here to work. Not go out and get wasted and not be able to show up.'"

Duke: "What prompted you to get into porn?"

Sammie: "Since the beginning of time, I've been way too sexual for my own good. Since six years old. I held off."

A businesswoman from next door walks up looking for the stage manager. It doesn't bother her that people make pornography next door. It bothers her when they use some of her rarely-used parking spaces.

Sammie: "I waited until I was 16 before I had sex. I was with a mainstream modeling agency in Connecticutt. I moved to Boston. Some guy got a hold of my pictures and asked me if I'd do adult modeling. I said, 'Are you crazy?' He said, have dinner with me.

"The next thing I know, I'm doing a girl-girl scene. Then a boy-girl scene. Then I'm out here (May 26, 2004) and I'm doing boy-girl. It happened so fast."

For the past three months, Sammie has only done girl-girl.

Duke: "When you're dating someone outside the industry, how do they react to your being a porn star?"

Sammie: "I don't know anyone outside the industry. I don't go out much."

Matt Prior, who operates Str8-Up Studios, says his assistant Angel is truly an angel. He's Matt's first assistant who's not a junkie and doesn't hit on the girls and is happy to have the job.

Matt says he used to have a pair of Levis working for him.

I accuse Matt of not liking Jews.

Gene chuckles. "There goes your business."

I spend most of the day reading the instruction manual to my Nikon D100 camera. When Monroe and Jessica walk up, I'm clutching the manual while photograping them.

It doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me.

I open the door for them.

Gene, Matt and Angel laugh. I ask what's up. Matt says it's funny seeing someone who's published books opening the door for porno chicks while photographing them with the manual in hand.

Jessica's been in porn for three weeks and Monroe for six months.
