And then, as many fans often lament in relation to their favorite adult film stars, she disappeared. She is one of the few stars from the business in the s who stayed in New York, where she still lives. So what does she remember about that heady period in the s when she lived with Jamie Gillis, appeared in some of the more ambitious pornographic films, and then attempted to achieve mainstream success?
It was a strange mix; I attended a Jewish school but I also went to church. Juliet on left. My parents were school people; my father was a high school assistant principal, and he coached fencing and basketball, and my mom started out as a school secretary before she had me and my two younger brothers. Growing up, I was closer to my father. I always thought my mother was disapproving of me, and perhaps she had good reason.
I attended high school in the late s, and was pretty studious and serious. My closest friends were the weirdos and misfits. I identified with them. It was rough. We rarely went to the theater or to the movies, and even though my father was a Phys-Ed chairman, we never went to a sporting event either.
As a teenager, I wanted to change this, so I sought out films and plays by myself, and took myself off to see them. They had a big effect on me. I could do what they do. And maybe one day I will. Juliet top right with her family. I loved reading, though I had strange tastes. Her philosophy appealed to me because she depicted a world with people that had integrity. These people were successful in their war against the mediocre. I liked that.
And not just with the boys either β I seemed to be popular with everybody. At the time, I found it strange: I was still the same person, so why was I suddenly in demand? Overnight I started to be invited to join all the sororities, and to go to all kinds of parties. Then the football captain asked me out. I was pretty suspicious of suddenly being flavor of the month. I figured it could disappear as fast as it came on, but I decided to enjoy it while it lasted.
