Entertainment Tonight, February 8, 1999

Cue tape:

Host: They are women who wanted to make it big in Hollywood. And they did. They are among the most popular new stars in porn. Now they talk about their fame and fortunes and their very different hopes for the future in our Entertainment Tonight cover story.

Narrator: Devon found her way here from Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Devon: "I was a little nervous. I didn't know what to expect."

N: Shyla [Foxxx] came from Chicago.

Shyla Foxxx: "I never thought I would be here but I have to say that I wouldn't trade it for the world."

N: Coral [Sands] was a country girl from Alabama.

Coral: "What if my friends find out? What if my family finds out?"

N: Today these three women are among the hottest stars in adult video.

C: "I completely acknowledge the fact that what I do is not so normal."

Luke F-rd: "Why do women perform sex on film? Money."

N: Luke F-rd is the author of "A History of X", a new book on the industry. He says top actresses can make over $100,000 a year and lots more from strip clubs.

Luke: "There are probably two or three who are making over $500,000 a year. There are probably a dozen or more porn stars clearing $200,000 a year."

Shyla: "I can't believe that I can have such a great income and have so much fun."

N: But all that fun and money comes with a price. Despite precautions, there is the threat of AIDS.

Coral: "It only takes one time. It's a scary issue."

N: Family and friends might not be so enthusiastic about your new job."

Devon: "Some of them are cool and some of them didn't want to hang out with me and be my friend anymore. I guess I could expect that."

Coral: "So many people can't possibly imagine that this is ok."

Luke: "It's a very tough business. It really grinds people down."

N: Shyla, who's in college studying criminal justice, plans to quit in a year or two."

Shyla: "My goal is to be the best criminal attorney out there. But besides that, I'd like to be a judge some day."

N: Coral wants to be a singer and settle in the mountains in Tennessee.

Coral: "Every other thing I'm doing is working for one thing and one thing only - buy my way out of LA."

N: They may go but new ones are certain to replace them. And bring with them, big dreams.

Devon: "I want to be the biggest porn actress. I want to be the biggest star."

N: Luke F-rd's book "A History of X: 100 Years Of Sex In Film" will be in stores in March.

RacerXXX writes on BigDoggie.net: I had setup an appt with her [Coral Sands] via ASF during her recent 'tour' but she never got on the plane to visit the city. So I guess she might have backed out totally of this hobby. Disappointed she was on my list to meet. ASF was totally professional about the whole incident and was very apologetic about the incident and tried to make it up. I guess ASF removed her because of recent events. ASF wants to ensure client satisfaction.

AdultstarFantasy replies: We had several incidents with Coral and her lack of reliability. The tour you speak of was unfortunately the final straw.
