Star E. Knight Interview
2003-06-16 14:46:39

Luke: So what you doing these days?

Star: I am pursuing my love of writing and enjoying a laid back life with my new boyfriend and dog, Anabel.

Luke: What do you love and hate about the porn industry?

Star: I loved it 'cause you got paid to do what comes naturally - sex. I hated most every other aspect about it, haha. On the serious side, I found that many folks in the porn industry were out to get you while they looked in your eyes, lied, and deceived you. There are a lot of people with ulterior motives, looking to earn a dollar off of your body. That's all cool and dandcy so long as you are getting in return what you deserve. But if you're not, you are either being naive while not recognizing what they're doing, or you know about it and are being stupid for not demanding what you deserve. It's a tricky industry.

Luke: How did you come to enter the industry?

Star: An ex-boyfriend of mine wanted to get into the biz, and he knew the only way he could swing that was by convincing a chick to come with him and shape his way. I was the lucky guinea pig! But that's ok, I got scooped up into a contract, while he sat at home looking for work.

Luke: What were your best and worst experiences?

Star: My best experiences ('cause I love to include the positive stuff first) were getting to travel to signings and see many places I had never seen before and hearing all the gossip when family and friends back home found out what I was doing for a living! My worst experiences (and there were many) were every time the contract company I was part of caused some kind of scene at a convention or simply out at a company meeting, or even at a club. You could not go out and expect an evening with Jill Kelly Productions to go smoothly. Every event it seems was ruined with some girl's chaos, and they all thrived off of that and had to compete with her for attention, causing yet a bigger scene. I was there to be professional and have fun, not to get in the middle of a big argument wiht my own contract sisters.

Luke: What do you do in your spare time?

Star: I love to read and write. I am currently working on a few books. I also cross stitch, if you can believe that. Aside from my bookworm tendencies, I also love riding motorcycles, camping, hiking, and playing with my dog.

Luke: How much time do you spend on line every day?

Star: Too much. I'm an internet junkie. I'm working on two books, so I'm right at the computer most of the day. Maybe I should have included online chatting in that last question though, 'cause I'm a chat junkie too.

Luke: Have you ever communicated with a space alien?

Star: Maybe in my sleep. But then again most of the people around me are like space aliens, so my answer might yes?

Luke: What kind of clique were you in in high school?

Star: Hahahaha! I wasn't in a clique. I hated cliques. I was a cheerleader. I played sports. I did well in the band and drama club but I never locked myself in any category though I loved music and drama. But face it, I always had a big mouth that got me into trouble. I was a geek. I still am. I'm proud of it. I have met and been friends with the coolest people my whole life, so why should I limit myself to an inner circle? I need diversity when it comes to people, for I love them in all sizes, shapes and breeds.

Subject: Why I Left JKP

Gonna start this off by verifying what really happened.

Was I pregnant with Lee Stone's baby like everyone talked?

NO. WAS NEVER PREGNANT TO BEGIN WITH.

Did I "flake" on JKP?

YES. MY CONTRACT WAS OFFICIALLY EXPIRED ON DEC. 1ST OF 2002 AND JKP NEVER ISSUED ME ANOTHER AGREEMENT TO EXTEND IT. DID THEY EVEN WANT TO? THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUSLY YES SINCE THEY THEN WENT TO AVN, THE INTERNET, ALL OF THE GOSSIP SITES AND MEDIA OUTLETS TO SPREAD THE WORD THAT I WAS SUPPOSEDLY STILL UNDER CONTRACT AND PROHIBITED FROM WORKING FOR ANYONE ELSE. THEY ALSO SENT ME A LETTER OF WARNING IN ATTEMPT TO SCARE ME INTO RETURNING TO WORK FOR THEM AND THREATENING ME AGAINST WORKING FOR ANY OTHER COMPANY. THEY TRIED TO ACCUSE ME OF BREACHING A CONTRACT THAT NO LONGER EXISTED. I NEVER EVEN WORKED FOR ANYONE ELSE SINCE ALL THIS WENT DOWN...I SIMPLY CHOSE TO LEAVE THE INDUSTRY ALTOGETHER.

Was my sudden weight gain an issue?

IT APPEARED AS IF JILL WAS INDEED GETTING WORRIED ABOUT THAT...I WAS A TWIG WHEN I FIRST CAME ABOARD JKP...EATING ONE MEAL A DAY AND LIVING ON ALOT OF BOOZE. THEN THE DEPRESSION SET IN AND I FOUND MYSELF EATING OUT OF BOREDOM AND DRINKING TO BECOME SOMEONE DIFFERENT THAN WHO I WAS. JILL LATER TRIED TO ASSESS THE DRINKING PROBLEM, AND I COULD ONLY SIT AND LAUGH. I MEAN...WHO THE HELL DID SHE THINK I ADOPTED THE HABIT FROM TO BEGIN WITH? MORE AND MORE AS I GOT TO KNOW JILL, IT SEEMED I'D NEVER SEEN HER SOBER. I WAS VERY ANGRY...IT WAS LIKE THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK AND I THOUGHT SOMEONE LIKE JILL
WOULD UNDERSTAND.

Why did I flake on KSEX Radio?

I'LL ADMIT...WHEN THINGS TURNED SOUR WITH JKP, I UP AND TOOK OFF. REFUSED CALLS, WOULDN'T RETURN A DAMNED ONE OF THEM...AND I STARTED TAKING MY ANGER OUT ON THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY, KSEX INCLUDED. KSEX DID NOT DESERVE THAT AND I LATER ISSUED A LETTER OF APOLOGY TO KSEX WHO GLADLY ACCEPTED IT AND OFFERED ME THE CHANCE TO BE PART OF THEIR PROGRAM ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE. I WAS SO ANGRY AT THE WHOLE INDUSTRY, DISAPPOINTED IN JKP WHO CLAIMED TO BE MY FAMILY ALL THIS TIME WHEN INDEED I NEVER FELT LIKE PART OF THE FAMILY.

What was life like as part of the JKP family?

SOMETIMES WE WENT OUT AND HAD FUN...BUT I WAS VERY SELDOM ASKED TO COME OUT AND PARTY WITH MY OWN GIRLS WHEN IT DIDN'T INVOLVE PRESS OR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO APPEAR TOGETHER FOR SOME MAJOR EVENT. I FELT VERY LEFT OUT. I ADMIRED JILL AND LOOKED UP TO HER FROM THE BEGINNING. SHE SHOWERED ME WITH ALOT OF PROMISES. SHE TOLD ME TO WATCH HER AND "LEARN". I DID. BUT THEN OTHER GIRLS STARTED TO GET FAVORED OVER OTHERS AND I SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF LEFT IN THE DARK. I LOOKED FORWARD TO BEING TAKEN UNDER HER WINGS, AND GOT SHOVED TO THE SIDE...MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T WILD ENOUGH OR RICH ENOUGH, I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD DONE A SCENE WITH HER EX HUSBAND BEFORE I EVEN CAME TO KNOW HER. I'LL NEVER KNOW, BUT MY HEART WAS BROKEN BECAUSE I TRUSTED HER SO MUCH.

Did I get along with the other JKP girls?

YES!! ASHTON, SHYLA, TYLER, AND JENNA HAZE WERE ALL REALLY SUPER COOL GIRLS. EVEN DEVEN DAVIS WAS THE SPUNKIEST, MOST GIVING CHICK...JILL AND I BECAME VERY DISTANT IN THE END, AND HAVEN NEVER EVER LIKED ME. SEE I WAS NOT AFRAID TO VOICE MY OPINION AND LET JILL KNOW WHAT MY FEELINGS WERE...HAVEN GOT ANGRY WITH ME WHEN I DID THIS ONE NIGHT AND THREATENED TO BEAT ME UP RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT IN A FANCY RESTAURANT IN BEVERLY HILLS. NOT EXACTLY THE KIND OF MATURITY OR DISPLAY THAT SHOULD GO ON IN SUCH A PLACE. SHE LITERALLY PUSHED HER CHAIR BACK AND STOOD UP BEARING BOTH FISTS. I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HER, WAS ALWAYS NICE TO HER, DID I DESERVE THIS? f-ck NO...SO NEEDLESS TO SAY...THINGS WERE NEVER GREAT BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, AND IT WASN'T FAIR...I WAS ACTIVELY MAKING MOVIES FOR JKP, HAVEN WAS ON SABATICLE? AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED SHE HAD NO PLACE AT OUR COMPANY MEETINGS WHEN SHE WASN'T ACTIVELY WORKING FOR THE COMPANY. BUT THIS IS HOW UNFAIR THINGS STARTED TO GET. YES, BY THE END...I WAS FRUSTRATED AND WANTED OUT. I BID MY TIME, WAITED TIL MY CONTRACT EXPIRED, EVEN WORKED PAST THE EXPIRATION DATE TIL I FINALLY SAID "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"...AND WAS GONE.

When JKP Was In Chaos
2003-06-20 15:53:41
Former Jill Kelly Productions girl Star E Knight writes: I never heard anything from any of the girls involved or previously involved with JKP since I left the biz except for our girl Jenna [Haze]. Jenna still talks to me, she was my closest friend in the JKP family. Shyla Stylez treated me super nice during her involvement with JKP, and alot of the girls were very bitter over her marriage to Bob [Friedlander, JKP owner] and frankly treated her really bad the minute Jill turned her back. I was neutral.

Shyla was genuinely cool to me, and she's a young chick who probably had a mess of her own problems thus bringing her into this biz...that's usually how it happens! Porn Stars for the most part are a different breed. Anyhow, Shyla disappeared not long after I did...but we had absolutely no connection involved with our disappearances. We both had our separate problems with the company, and I'm quite insulted that the industry mentioned our disappearances together in all of the press releases as if we had some part in a duo conspiracy against JKP. I have not heard from Shyla. I know very little besides what I read as to her disappearance and disinvolvement of JKP.

All I know is I really don't blame the girl for leaving, the girls there made it miserable on her because they were jealous of the treatment she received as Bob's wife. I do believe, if Bob is married or in a relationship with one of the girls, she should be let out of a contract. It's not fair to the other girls when she gets to fly first class to events and signings, or bought all the clothing and jewelry for shoots her little heart desires. Yes, I respected JKP's decision to keep her aboard after the marriage, but I have my opinion too. And I voice this opinion only with the clear-minded business sense, "don't mix business with pleasure."

Jill's girls were at each other's throats over it, and you see what it did to Bob when Shyla couldn't handle it anymore, and left.

One thing that I'd like to point out is that, indeed, Shyla's
contract was a brand new one and I haven't seen the details of that contract although JKP claims we all had the same contract (which I know to be bullsh-t), so that means, she most likely ran out on her contract. JKP tried to make me look so bad in the media right along with Shyla when I ran out on nothing. My contract expired on Dec. 1, 2002. I left two weeks later when I was still showing up to work for the company and beginning to be pressured into working with actors who weren't on my list to work with, and pressured into more than my agreed number of scenes per day. That's when I had enough. I told the production manager one day if he didn't stick to my list of
actors (which was a rather large list easy to fullfill) and didn't change my schedule around to something easier for my body to handle, that I wasn't going to show up. I gave him his warning. I received no call over that weekend to verify that things had been altered, so I didn't show up. I did what I said I was going to do. I also got very sick that morning because I was so tired of my mistreatment and lack of respect in this company. My new boyfriend ended up holding my hair out of the toilet. I was very sick of JKP and all their bullsh-t...it was tearing me apart. And then I received a phone call from the production manager, screaming and bitching me out. That was the last straw. That's when I never showed up on any of their sets again!

Jim writes: I have seen Jill [Kelly] on a number of talk shows and seen interviews in print and her thing was always that she was looking at the business from the prospective of "talent" since that's where she had come from. I've heard her say that her contract girls owned a piece of all their work rather than just getting paid per scene as most other companies do. She said her girls have health benefits and make much more than most talent in the industry. The concept is great. Bob Friedland is an excellent businessman with deep pockets and Jill is a connected member of the adult community. The system breaks down in any business when the boss starts f-cking the help. It makes one wonder if Bob didn't have his mind on his dick from the beginning. Star, any thoughts? Did JKP take as good care of you girls financially as Jill would have us believe?

Star E Knight writes: I have heard of Jill's appearance on Ricki Lake where she had spoken of JKP contract girls having benefits. While I was under contract for them, I certainly heard mention of benefits to play a future role for JKP contract girls, but the talks went on for nearly 6 months with no such action being made. The girls might indeed have
benefits since I left...I've been gone for 6 months now...but while I was contracted under JKP, it was just talk. Some people have already commented on here that they believe Jill to have bitten off more than she can chew, and I certainly believe that to be true since she was very dedicated to her girls in the beginning. In the end, it seemed as if she stopped showing up on sets, hadn't directed but one of my movies, and became more and more unavailable for her girls.

When I did see her, she bragged about using the company credit card on shopping sprees for her own wardrobe, and buying nice expensive cars like the fully loaded escalade she now sports around. All of this spending while us girls were calling Bob regularly to issue us pay advances cause we couldn't make our rent.

Some girls who were getting hired to do scenes for JKP that were not contracted with JKP it turned out, were making more money by getting paid "per scene" than us contract girls were making. Other contract girls in the biz weren't getting worked as much as us JKP girls, and in fact it was getting quite boring fronting the box of a movie that was to be our features, when all the same JKP contract sisters were appearing/casted in every one. It was like the same old movie over and over and over with a different JKP girl on each new boxcover, and
maybe a different story line. But it was the same JKP girls in every movie. I had heard complaint about that from many fans and industry people as well. I haven't viewed a JKP flick lately, but I sure hope they've learned, and fixed the problem so that their girls can have something truly unique and personal to market. Oh, and those residuals that us JKP girls are supposed to get? HA, HA, HA. Am I now the 3rd ex-contract girl who hasn't yet scene a residual check? It comes down to this...no girl really has any part of the company under her belt to flaunt around...except Jill, and that's cool...it's
her name, her company...but all I'm saying is...don't make false promises...and don't brag about them when they're not being met.

Well what I really think are is that at JKP it's much different
than walking into an office like at Vivid or Digital Playground. It's not an office, JKP runs out of Bob's home in the Hollywood Hills, and his place and money can be very welcoming to alot of money grubbing porn chicks. And those are usually the chicks that act overly kind to an old man. It's awful, cause I'm not sure if Bob sees that that's why these girls are all over him. He really is a sweet man, and he tends to fall crushes on all of his new recruits at one time or another. But I really think some of these girls chase
after him in hopes of being treated like a goddess, which Bob surely does! So, there's no harassment at JKP, there might be in other companies, but at JKP, it's THOSE girls who WANT to be with Bob...most likely for his money.

......................................

Pandora Perfecting writes: I chatted with Halston at an appearance during that stretch when JKP was in chaos. You [Star E Knight] were a mystery, Shyla's [Styles?] marriage went all nutty apparently, Jenna [Haze] had just decided to step back and re-evaluate things (leading up to her lez-only transformation), and I think there were even further problems that I just can't remember now. Anyway, Holly was very diplomatic and neutral. (and she had biggened her chest even larger than I was used to seeing it). She did admirable damage control for JKP as we both remarked on how unusual it was to have such a complete implosion all at once. Now
I'll add a snockered Jill to the picture. Maybe she has moments when she wants to be a mentor but she's finding the role difficult to carry out full time. I of course don't know and can only guess. It just seems like such a shame since she appeared to be building the best company in the biz for a while there. Too bad it can't also be the best one to work for.

Do you ever hear anything from Shyla?

Cynara Fox writes: Man, I was just sitting here thinking, is it wrong to be turned on by looking at yourself? I mean really turned on! I keep looking at the pictures of me in the 'mixed group' album, the ones where I'm only wearing that crystal bra. My god, I especially can't stop lloking at the one's titled 'cut curves' and 'dive in'. I just can't stop staring at my pussy! Is that wrong? If any of you truly know me, then you know I am far from stuck up, and usually have self-esteem issues, but when I look at certain pictures of myself I feel like it's not even me. I feel like I am looking at one really hot peice of ass, weird huh?

I WILL NOT be appearing at Erotica LA this Weekend. The Factors that contributed to this desicion were My Birthday being on Sunday, Short notice and inability to contact/confirm the people I was supposed to go with.

Sondra Hall Update
2003-06-23 17:52:58
Star E. Knight writes: I haven't been in contact with Sondra either, but she bailed out before I did...kind of just disappeared from the movie-making scene with JKP, but still hung out with us. She's a great and very sweet girl, about to be a momma! Sondra did in fact leave because her and her husband [Steve Case of the Lee Network] are expecting. Sometimes I think maybe that's how the rumor got attributed to me...because word prob. got out that a JKP girl was pregnant, and when I quit, everyone assumed it was me. But it was in fact Sondra, and I hope she's still doing really well. Her husband was a really nice guy too, he was one of our production managers at one time and even wrote a really cool script.

Sondra was the coolest to work with! Especially since some of the other girls frowned upon working with me because lesbo scenes weren't my thing...I really don't like girls sexually unless they hold a spot close to my heart, and that's a hard spot to get at as many girls are in it for themselves and can turn against you really fast...so I didn't let them in very easily. Sondra was always super sexy and always a comfortable joy to work with. Sondra's husband was behind the scenes in alot our movies, and I guess one could assume they have a very open relationship. It didn't seem to bother him nor her at all. Me...I'm different. Men usually do get jealous, and that's why I could not continue in this realm of work when I met my boyfriend who happens to be totally unfamiliar with porn and not a supporter at all of it. That's okay, though...I'm very happy and I guess I was looking for a really good reason to leave the biz...and I found him! When you're in a relationship with other porno peeps, there are alot of understandings. I've known really successful married couples (porn stars) who found it with no problem to work with other people. But they didn't talk about it or watch when they went home. It was just a paycheck to them...and alot of those couples who happened to consist of a female contract girl in companies like Vivid, VCA, and Sin City...did rather well in the money dept. so you know they lived comfortably together with their combined incomes. So in some cases, it's not hard to maintain a relationship and be an actor/actress in the adult biz, but there are your jealous exceptions...Lee Stone, for instance...but let's not get into that now!

As far as dating someone not related in to the biz...it's nearly impossible unless they are a swinger and get off on seeing their girlfriend/wife getting f-cked on film...and believe me...those such relationships exist more often than not! I hope I've answered your question!!! As you can see...I tend to get quite long-winded.

I don't feature dance, I started up right before I left the biz, but I've literally given that whole life up. I may do solo magazine spreads/photo shoots or perhaps put up my own website in the future...but that looks like the only way I'll return to the XXX scene. I do visit the NJ/PA/NY tri-state area occasionally since that is where I'm from...but I only go back to see family primarily. I was however in NJ a month ago to see my boyfriend play for a friend's band at the KISS convention. But that's highly unlikely that I'll return to the east coast for any more conventions in the near future.

Sex Behind The Scenes At JKP Productions? 2003-06-25 16:09:21 Star E Knight writes: I assume you're expecting a long winded answer that validates your every fantasy of behind the scenes sex and sh-t...and I really hate to burst your dreams, but it doesn't happen my dear. Those sex scenes that you enjoy 10-15 minutes of in the movies take 2 sometimes 3 hours to film. (Obviously there is alot of wasted footage that never makes the final cut) It is alot like main stream movie making with a full on camera crew, boom operator, production manager, director, a.d., sound guy, paper towel and lube fetcher, etc. It's not always a fun environment, and yes more often than not, us girls did in fact ACT (meaning we faked it). Beyond the camera lens, all people on or near the set were expected to shut up! No noise could be made because it would pick up through the boom and be heard on the audio recording. Roudy porn stars just coming to set and leaving sometimes cause alot of noise, thus leaving no choice but to have to shoot the scene over or record backup audio to be dubbed over. So...sex behind the scenes? Fat chance. Though I'm not going to say it didn't happen. I was in infatuation with a porn dude long ago, and ended up having a quick romp in a set's shower right after we had completed a very long scene together. So that goes to show you, if the chemistry is right between two actors, don't let them loose, cause they wont slow down!!

Star E. Knight Interview

How long time was you active in the business?

~ 1 1/2 years

How did you get involved?

~ Ex-boyfriend who wanted to be an actor in the biz...(in order to make it as a male in the biz, you need to bring along a cute girl to get your foot in the door. He did just that.)

Did you work as a model or dancer before?

~ Before moving to LA, I did promotional modeling for Coors Lite, and several local tv commercials in my hometown. When I moved to LA, before my porn days, I did extra work on mainstream TV shows and movie films.

Can you mention some magazines so I might be able to buy them?

~ Sorry, no magazines other than the porn mags I modeled for (i.e. Club International July and Sept. 2002 issues/ High Society Holiday 2002 edition/ Taboo (Can't even remember what issue)

Saw that you liked some rock music like Heart, Whitesnake and stuff like that. Do you like other newer acts?

~ Of course I do...I love upcoming acts too, like my boyfriend
Rodney's solo project...."Rodney". I love Linkin Park, by the
way...wink, wink.

Can you mention three hobbies of yours?

~ Reading, Writing, Singing, Cross stitching...can go on and on.....

Which is your favorite non-porn movie of all time?

~ The Last Of The Mohicans

Which is the best movie you starred in?

~ My Perfect 10's

Which girl did you like working with the most?

~ jenna Haze, Ashton Moore

Do you have any contact with girls from Jill Kelly Productions?

~ Jenna Haze and I chat every now and then, but she messaged me
recently to call her and hasn't returned my calls, so I guess you can say not really.

Do you like to travel? If you do, have you ever visited Europe? If
not, do it!

~ No, I have not been to Europe yet, but I would love to go to
Germany since I am German, and I only dream of visiting Italy (venice)
and Amsterdam

Did you enjoy all types of sex you performed in your movies?

~ I suppose...If I did not enjoy them, I wouldn't have continued to do them...that's why I never did anal. But towards the end, I stopped doing G/G, because I am not a natural lesbian and fans were catching on...so I stopped.

Star E. Knight replies: My boyfriend is not happy nor does not understand why I even need to go on here to chat with friends, fans, and the curious like yourself. But I am completely faithful to him, have left my profession for him, almost everyone I knew or hung out with for him...and I think he understands the magnitude of that. So as with how I am very understanding and supportive of all the time he spends in the studio, rehearsals, and gigs...he is indeed suportive of anything I need to do to clear my mind, conscience, and soul. No...I have left the "kinky" days behind me in a sense...but I am not shy in the bedroom obviously, nor am I uninhibited...so that must be rewarding to any boyfriend...and there are no complaints there! We do not allow anyone to join in our personal fun...I did a year and a half of sharing in that dept. Gimme a break. Let me enjoy some intimacy now with someone who really loves me.

I think my experience with JKP sadly enough WAS what ruined my outlook on the industry. I was forewarned by plenty of good, knowledgable people outside of JKP that it was a bad decision. But I had heard so many far fetched rumors about JKP, and as a Tabloid HATER ...I refused to believe the hype. I signed the contract, on the contrary. I do believe it could have been different had I signed with someone else. Vivid was talking to me...VCA finally called me a week after I signed with JKP...I could have waited long enough for other offers...but instead...I jumped the gun.


Questions For Star E. Knight
2003-07-20 13:23:53
Join her Yahoo Club here:

Question: "Star, I am dying to find out what happened between you and Haven that made you two hate each other's guts! Feel like sharing any details? And what are you doing now that you left the industry? Are you income-generating?"

Star replies: Nothing happened between me and Haven...she just never treated me very nicely, and ended up flipping out on me one night at a classy restaurant in Beverly Hills during a JKP dinner meeting. She comes from low class area of california, and now that she's doing well...she thinks she can just go around "beating up" people whom she dislikes. But what she didn't realize is that I'm a Cancer, and we'll patiently tolerate alot until that one day when you go too far. I never gave into her offers for a fight, but I was getting
close.

I've been writing some novels which are not finished yet, as well as planning to go to school to take up web design. I really have a creative flair for web design and find that I can spend literally hours on the computer having fun with it. I just need to learn dreamweaver and flash before I can call myself a professional, and actually make a business for myself. There certainly is a large demand for it these days. It's fun...and it keeps my creative juices flowing. It also pays well when you have the right clients. Look what Jenna Jameson did for herself with Club Jenna...she has so many porn chicks waiting on a list to get her business to produce a website for them. And they're getting paid several thou to design and maintain the sites. As far as generating money? Sitting at home
writing doesn't do it til you see your books published. So let's say I took a major loss by quitting the biz! But I have my head into other things already...and at least I can do this at 55 vs. porn which only pays your bills til you're about 30! Some aren't even so fortunate as to stay in the biz that long and do well! Most of the smarter porn actors/actresses and affiliates have already smartened up and explored the net for larger business possibilities. There are tons of creative ways to not have to sit behind a desk for 40 hrs. a week and answer to a higher up in some corporate day job. I'm not knocking it for those who do slave away to keep this country rolling...but I certainly am NOT one of those types. I need change, I need creativity, and most importantly to be home with my dog and
able to pick up and go at a moment's notice as I believe enjoying the finer things in life doesn't require money...all they require is lots of personal time for family, home, pets, and nature!

Question: Hey Star, I think your boob job is great. I saw photos and videos of you in your earlier days and I think you boob job worked great. How long did it keep you out of action, and what is the drawback in regards to exercise? Did you feel your marketability increase with your chest size. You and Sondra Hall always looked as sexy in your clothes as you did doing a scene. That is a big plus...

Star replies: Thank You for the compliments! I actually had a lift first then implants added due to the tightening and removal of skin causing a reduction of breast size. I always had D sized breasts...but after I lost weight in high school...they began to sag...I had lost fatty tissue in the breast. But I still fit comfortably only in a size D...even before the operation. Implants were then added, because a lift is similar to a reduction and I was NOT going smaller since I was used to D's and loved them. I actually fit into the same size bra right after my operation as I did before hand. So...it was not about marketability for me. JKP believed me to be more marketable since my breasts were firmer and more pleasing to the eye...and that's why it was a mutual decision. At that point in time, they were actually really looking to sign natural girls and that's when they signed Jenna Haze. So as far as size being the factor...it simply was not the case in my situation. As far as what "I" thought...I had ALWAYS wanted something done to improve the firmness in my breasts since I lived in Pennsylvania...long before porn was even a shadow of a thought in my brain. So I am more than HAPPY to clear up this common misconeception placed upon many girls in the adult industry. Always remember, there are more reasons than not why
I was and am very different than alot of the girls in the biz!

Question: Star, you've spoke so candidly about your experiences within the biz. But i was wondering, do you think you are better off for what you've gone through in the biz? Compare yourself from before you started making films to now when you are done. How do you think you've changed mentally and emotionally, and how much of your development do you think can be attributed to these experiences?

Star replies: Hmmmm...your question requires alot of thought! Certainly something I HAVE thought about since i left the biz. First of all...being in the shadiest biz in Los Angeles, I realized that sometimes it's not more shady than the mainstream film industry and music industry at all! In fact...they all seem to go hand in hand...and everybody knows everybody anyway! But entertainment in LA is a hard biz to be in in general. Alot of double standards, judgements, gossip, using people, etc. going on. It was tough finding my way in LA in general...and to be truthful...I still haven't quite found my way.

But I have found happiness which I beginning to doubt was ever
possible in a city like this! Porn taught me alot about what
people's true motives are and what people really want from you! It has also taught me unfortunately...not to trust ANYONE! As a result it has taught me that you should treasure those you find along the way whom you can trust...because they are hard to come by. Being in such a hard industry has also begun to teach me how not to worry so much about what other people think of you (I'm still trying to reach the end of that obstacle as I've always been so lacking in self-confidence.)

It has taught me alot of lessons about alot of things...though I really don't wish to go on talking about my family (which is too personal for me to get into on here, but I will in my book...)...I do want to say it has taught me about unconditional love and lack thereof. This has taught me how I want to raise and care for my own children when it comes time they make a decision that I don't favor. I will still love them regardless and lend my shoulder for when they fall instead of washing my hands of them to leave them out in the cold. Parents can guide their children or stray them away from certain elements of life...but if they try to hard and become too restrictive, it often puts the child in a position where they feel they are not breathing the air of the world. Makes them feel suffocated. And so instead, they go out and explore everything and anything just to get to people who told them "no" all of their lives. (A very good message that was delivered in the movie "Finding Nemo" I saw tonight at the theater.)
I know people cluck their tongues, roll their eyes, and doubt that anyone can learn valuable child rearing and family values lessons from time spent within the "porn" industry...but guess what! I DID! People have so rudely commented on previous sites about my wanting to have children with very awful comments doubting my capabilities to one day be a mother. But look at how many mothers not involved in the biz at all give birth to their own crack babies...or those who leave them lying half dead in a dumpster somewhere, or worse yet...give birth when they have no money or no time to care after them like a real parent should. That criticism really hurt because I knew girls having abortions in high school...when here I am...25...never to have given birth because I do not feel it is the right time nor that I am mentally ready to bring another life into my
own and take care of him/her the best way that I can. But I certainly do not wash away any of the things I havelearned...no sir...I do not take them for granted at all. Instead I make a mental note of it...and realize that most things we do as adults is a direct result of our childhoods. And that...is the most crucial and precious time a parent can make an impact on their children. Still some parents, take that time for granted, and wait til it's too late. Well that won't be me...and if it means...that I have to teach my children what it's like to be used, carted around like meat, and treated like a shallow-brained idiot...I WILL tell them where I learned it and how. They deserve to know. My parents always held from us the fact that they weren't virgins when they were married...and in fact...outright LIED to us about it. So why do you think I waited til I was 18 to tell my mother that I wasn't? Cause how do you talk to a perfect "christian" such as my mother about "sinning" in such a way. But it turns out they weren't perfect and because they gave us this false vision of perfection...we felt we couldn't come to them. I don't want my kids to feel uncomfortable around me. I want to be there for them. And if I wanted them badly enough to bring them into the world...I WILL NOT discard them...no matter what they do with themselves...and THAT I have learned from PORN!

Star E. Knight On Interracial Sex
2003-07-21 21:05:44
Star E. Knight writes on her Yahoo group, the most compelling porn star Yahoo group on the web:

Jill [Kelly] and Bob [Friedland] tried to convince me for the longest time not to
go the IR route...but as soon as they caught wind I had already done a scene with Lex...they were game. Unfortunately it was too late. I had the opporunity to meet Sean and Marcus at the 2002 AVN Awards...and both blew me away! They are incredibly sexy men. However, my porn days are over...so the outlook of me doing an IR scene is just as unlikely as the chance of my ever doing any kind of scene!

The subject of IR scenes from a contract girl's point of view is really shady. She has the opportunity to bring a wider based fanhood into her group of fans by becoming more marketable in the black fans market. She also runs the risk of losing the "majority" (and I stress "majority" because obviously there are many different walks of life who like and watch porn) of her fans. The "majority" really does consist of mid west white american males...who let's face it...still aren't used to dealing with people of different races. I grew up in a small hick town in Pennsylvania...and we had maybe one black guy in the town...and nobody liked him or his chick cause she
was white.

So to make a long story short...the "majority" of a
contract girl's fans are the racist types who absolutley DO NOT want to see her with a black guy...and that could defintately ruin her career. Jill and Bob were afraid of losing my marketability in the beginning if they let me do IR scenes...but I argued them for a long time because I would not listen to their reason...I instead wanted to portray a little bit of the "true" me who likes black guys in my personal life so long as they are attractive! But many other porn chicks buy into the "marketability" argument on IR scenes...and don't
do it! And yes...they do make up every excuse in the book...but
sometimes they mean what they say...(i.e. I can't find any black dudes in the biz I'm attracted to). Maybe it's because they don't want to hurt their black fans' feelings and risk losing them, and maybe it's because they're racist themselves and do not like black guys. But that's the truth about how it's viewed among contract companies. Other companies (like anabolic) pride themselves on their scenes involving little girls who look like they're still in high school getting plummeted by a big black dude and their "majority" of fans are horny black men...so it works well...and they make a huge
profit. But frankly...those hard core companies are the only ones who can get away with it...at this point in time....!

Hi...I just wanted to set the record straight....ahhhhhh AGAIN!!! Jason Sechrest stated in your "Why Star E. Knight Left JKP" article that I did not sign a "termination release", thus, causing the automatic actions of some sort of "re-up" by the company? Ha, Ha, Ha! That is ludicrous! No where in my contract was anything of the sort stated...and I even had a lawyer look over the details!!!! I don't know where he got his information since he's never seen my contract, and JKP likes to tell all of their girls that they all have the SAME contract...but any girl who believes that...is stupid enough to be taken advantage of in that way and belongs with JKP! Little does JKP know...but a few of us had discussed our contracts, and we found differences! So that goes to show what kind of liars they are!
