As I walk on the set, Trinity James flags me down. "First off," she says, "All that Mike Davis crap. One, he needs to stop sending me and everybody all that crap.

"Second. I was in the office when Mike was trying to get him to borrow the money. Rob didn't want to borrow it. Mike was the one who said, borrow it, borrow it, borrow it.

"I was also there when Rob paid him back the $22,000.

"Mike is just bad that he couldn't make it in the adult world."

Trinity's boyfriend stands silently.

"Also, I'm back in the biz. I took a small vacation over the holidays."

Duke: "Were you in prison?"

Trinity: "No. I'm ready to work as soon as AIM can get their goddamn tests ready."

I wonder if she has been coached by Rob Spallone on what to say.

Bambi Brown sits beside Trinity, her scene partner. It was Bambi's first ever.

We're outside.

Ron Sullivan walks over and says with a smile: "Hold the back page of the Jewish Forward. I have not smoked in 15 days."

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Bambi has worked as a hooker in Nevada for six years (after putting in 18-months as a stripper). "I've been at the Kit Kat ranch [in Reno] for three years."

Now she wants to appear "in some major magazines -- Penthouse, Playboy, Hustler. I've been in Spectator magazine but that's crap."

Duke: "Has anyone forced you to do anything you didn't want to do?"

Bambi: "No. I'm open-minded about things. I've been a freak all my life."

"What do you do with your money?"

"I've been saving it so I can open up my own cosmetology business. The only thing I've been spending my money on is necessary things - rent, bills, clothes, shoes, make-up, everything that goes with the business I spend my money on."

Duke: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Bambi: "No."

Duke: "Why are you smiling guiltily?"

Bambi: "I have a boyfriend. No husband."

Duke: "Does he know you are here today?"

Bambi: "Yes. My family knows where I'm at too. I hide nothing."

Duke: "How do they feel about your career?"

Bambi: "They're happy. They say, whatever you do, be the best.

"I was a wild child. They figured out I'd be going into the wild life."

As Trinity, boyfriend and Bambi walk off, I ask Trinity if she is going to take Bambi to Max Hardcore.

Trinity: "No. I wouldn't even take me to Max Hardcore. Why would I take her?"

Bambi: "She knows what's best for me."

Trinity, the protective mother figure.

Trinity: "Duke, I'm going to kill you. What are you doing?"

Duke: "How do your long legs fit in that little car? Are you hiding drugs in there?"

Trinity: "Yeah. All kinds."

A few minutes later, Max's girlfriend Catalina drives up.

She walks in and asks if there is a make-up artist.

Ron Sullivan: "Yes, there is a make-up artist, but not for us. For Hustler."

Ron is the head of production for Venus Girls and he goes into the office every day he's not shooting.

I hear Clive McLean is residing in a hospice. He had his brain cancer cut out first (before the liver cancer) but he's dying.

For months before he was diagnosed with brain and liver cancer, he had melanomas cut out of his body. The cancer must've gotten into his bloodstream.

Shooters variously categorize Catalina as black or white. Today she's white.

Her ethnicity is Mexican.

Rob Spallone drives up. He boasts he has no warrants out for his arrest and no probation. He was pulled over Wednesday for a ticket.

He talks about his fight with Mike Davis for 20-minutes. He claims that Mike was kicked out of the sheriff's department and that he never graduated with a law degree. "He's a smart kid," says Rob.

"He wanted to grow pot in the warehouse. I wouldn't allow that. He wanted to take movies from people and f--- them. I wouldn't allow that.

"Pebbles says he threw a glass at his housekeeper. When she came back to get her check, he was real nasty to her. He doesn't have any friends. He talks bad behind their back, all his own friends.

"If you go to his house, he has all these pictures of himself. He got stoned for four years. He never left his house.

"This kid doesn't know how to earn.

"He's into stars. Ellen DeGeneres lives next door. Big deal. She came over once to borrow the dog. I said, are you a retard, lady? You want to take the guy's dog?

"He's a kid who never grew up. He had everything and he started to lose it.

"He helped me out but now he thinks I owe him money.

"I stayed at his house and I never robbed him. I took care of his place.

"He told a detective that I was a loan shark and a bookmaker. If I was a loan shark and a bookmaker, why would I have gone bankrupt?

"Ask Mike how he's getting along with his partner Guenther."

Rob calls Jim South looking for his talent. "If I don't get this movie shot today," Rob tells Jim, "I'm going to lose this account."

Black girl named Beauty walks on set. A few minutes later, a crew member yells out: "Black girl. Where you at?"

Ron tells Tricia Oaks, "Give me all your candy and nobody gets hurt."

Katie Morgan has been busy since the airing of the HBO series Pornucopia, working most every day. Dick Nasty has made her a minority partner in his company Nasty Models.

Katie's looking for a contract. Jill Kelly Productions made her an offer.

The wind blows through the pine trees outside Str8-Up Studios. It's sunny and about 65 degrees.

I hear Bobby Gallagher has moved from his set on Chandler, leaving much of his stuff behind, and for a stage in Sunland, next to a Steven Spielberg production War of the Worlds. Spielberg's crew hasn't been porn-friendly, making business difficult.

Skye Blue has shut down her stage to concentrate on producing.

Nicki Hunter has a stage on Independance and Nordhoff. A mainstream editor funds it.

Erika Kole walks in with her husband Mark Fuzz. They're from New York. He wears a black t-shirt with the white letters: "Jesus is coming." In a small pop-up come the words: "Hide the porn."

Mark says they're going to a Craven Morehead party tonight but they can't hang out too late because Erika has to do anal at 10am Friday.

Candy Cream, 18yo Rubenesque black girl: "That's a good time to do anal. I'll do it at 4:30am."

Candy became a stripper the day after her 18th birthday on April 16th. She didn't like sharing her money with the club, so she got into porn and escorting. She moved from a B-cup to a DD-cup November 30th through plastic surgery.

She's done about ten porn movies.

Duke: "What kind of student were you in highschool?"

Candy: "I had a 3.0. I was supposed to go to college but I was tired of school. A lot of pressure. I like to party a lot."

Candy says she was a loner in highschool.

She lost her virginity at 15. She says she slept with another ten guys before turning 18. She liked guys over 21 because they could buy her beer.

Candy says she like sex five times a day.

I remember another woman who told me that. I didn't believe her. Then I dated her and found out she wasn't kidding.

Candy wants to stay in porn for as long as she can.

Candy's from Fresno, where "there's nothing but corn and cows and chickens."

Duke: "How does your family feel about this?"

Candy: "We don't want to go there. My mom knows I dance but she hasn't seen a movie yet... When she does...

"I only have one brother. He's small. He plays that game with the prostitutes getting in the car. Grand Theft Auto. So I think he knows everything that is going on around him."

Duke: "Do you prefer to date guys inside or outside the industry?"

Candy: "I don't care. As long as they have a dick."

Candy says she smokes a lot of marijuana.

Duke: "Which book has most influenced your life?"

After tossing out various books for 30 seconds, Candy settles on Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn. "It was touching. It made me feel sad. These people were ignorant and wanted to act anyway they wanted as though it didn't hurt other people's feelings and it did."

Candy tears up. "This is making me emotional. We're on 20/20 or Dateline. I saw the movie afterward. It was sad."

Catalina Interview

Thursday, February 3.

Duke: "When you were a little girl, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Catalina, from Ventura County, she's spent her life in Southern California: "I wanted to be one hundred million things. I never had any clue what I wanted to do."

Duke: "What sort of things?"

Catalina: "I wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, a pilot, a chef. I wanted to do everything. I went to college but I didn't know what I wanted to do."

Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"

Catalina: "Quiet people."

Duke: "Were you a good student?"

Catalina: "Until I got to my sophomore year. It was 4.0 and then I decided to get tired of school. I got lazy."

Duke: "Did you have a good home life?"

Catalina: "Yes. If you want to know anything negative, there's nothing negative in my life, so don't even bother asking."

Duke: "There's nothing negative in your whole life?"

Catalina: "Right."

Duke: "At what age did you love your virginity?"

Catalina: "I like to keep my privacy on my virginity. It's on my bio on my website www.catalinaxxx.com."

Duke: "What did you study at college?"

Catalina: "I wanted to be an English teacher."

Duke: "How much college did you do?"

Catalina: "Four years."

Duke: "Did you get your degree?"

Catalina: "No."

Duke: "Were you a good student?"

Catalina: "Yes. Well enough for my standards. I don't care what anyone else thinks of me. What I think is good for me is good for me. Nobody can tell me anything."

Duke: "What is your ethnicity?"

Catalina: "Mexican."

Duke: "Did you have much experience with pornography when you were a kid?"

Catalina: "No."

Duke: "You didn't watch it?"

Catalina: "No. Of course not. I was too busy thinking about what I wanted to be. My philosophy is that I don't think about how I am supposed to act in society. I just am a person. I'm just a plain person. I have nothing extremely like significant for anyone to judge me. I don't think you understand when I say I am just a plain person because plain people are never understood."

Duke: "You feel that people misunderstand you?"

Catalina: "No. People want to create a person from a plain person but a plain person can never be created because they are always going to be the same and you are just going to frustrate yourself. So don't even try."

Duke: "Why did you drop out of college?"

Catalina: "Because I was going fulltime for four years and I wanted to take a break for a semester and I never went back."

Duke: "How did you get into porn?"

Catalina: "Just an ad in the paper through World Modeling four years ago."

Duke: "What were you thinking when you answered the ad?"

Catalina: "I was thinking that I was going to be a model. I'm only 5'3". I knew I was never going to be runway. I knew my only chance to be a model was to do nude and I have no problem showing off my body.

"I don't like anybody to tell me that it is wrong, because I am a plain person and I am not going to see what you see. Plain people are hard to understand. They just don't see anything but what they see."

Duke: "So what was your first shoot?"

Catalina: "I don't really remember. I don't want to say who I shot for first for anybody else's benefit. I don't want to be involved in that shady aspect of the pornography industry."

Duke: "What kind of experience was your first time shot?"

Catalina: "I don't even remember. I told you I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to be involved in that shady aspect. I was assuming that you weren't going to ask me again but you did. The people who have shot me are not going to be able to say anything to me because only mature people who I got along with are my true people who really shot me. The other people -- they shot me because they wanted to. They wanted to get an edge on the porno career. But I have more respect for myself and I am not going to put myself in that situation."

Duke: "What situation?"

Catalina: "Oh, that I shot this person or that person first. If they want to put me in that situation... Porno is supposed to be fun. It's not supposed to be who shot who first. Who's this and that. I want to shoot with respectable nice people who treat me good. I don't want to shoot with people who are selfish about a body that is mine. Nobody can tell me who I can and can not shoot for."

Duke: "It sounds like you had some bad experiences."

Catalina: "No. I didn't have any bad experiences. You're putting negative thoughts into the conversation."

Duke: "What do you love and not love about the industry?"

Catalina: "I love all the people who've shot me and are my friends. And I hate bad interviews."

Duke: "How many bad interviews have you had?"

Catalina: "I haven't had any, I hope."

Duke: "You've never had a bad interview?"

Catalina: "Yes."

Duke: "What about industry gossip?"

Catalina: "If I get a bad interview, and I know I won't, because you will do your best to be the nicest person, because I know you're nice, then it's all good."

Duke: "How do you deal with industry gossip?"

Catalina: "I don't deal with it."

Duke: "It doesn't bother you."

Catalina: "I come from a neighborhood that was really close. There were lots of Mexicans at my school. I learned that things shouldn't bother you. And if they do, then you have to ask yourself why you are letting it bother you. And I don't allow anything to bother me."

Duke: "And this industry allows you fulfill certain fantasies?"

Catalina: "I'm not sure if I've fulfilled any fantasies because I'm out there to have a good time. I'm not there to fulfill what's on my list."

Duke: "Is it like what you thought it would be like?"

Catalina: "It's been more funner that I thought it would be. It is more better than I thought it would be."

Duke: "Why did you decide to get breast implants [two years ago]?"

Catalina: "Because I wanted to. I have no reason to explain. What kind of answer are you expecting?"

Duke: "I'm not expecting any answer. I'm just curious."

Catalina: "I don't have any response to that. Why do you want to get a car? Because you want to drive. Why do you want to get boobs? Because you want to take more pictures. Plain and simple."

Duke: "Did it affect the kind of people who wanted to shoot you?"

Catalina: "No."

Duke: "How did it affect your self image?"

Catalina: "Are you talking positively or negatively? Because I've already told you there's nothing negative."

Duke: "Neither."

Catalina: "I don't see myself as an image. I see myself as a human being with real feelings."

Duke: "How did it affect how you feel about yourself?"

Catalina: "I don't have any answer for that. Whatever I feel as a woman is private. I don't think that should be asked.

"I'd like to say thank you for the interview. If there's any women who feel inferior to questions asked about you, I definitely can relate to the emotions you might go through, because I just had the same kind of experience. I don't think people mean to say what they want to say, it's just a woman's feeling that we cannot control. Just hang in there and stay happy and don't let any kinds of questions bring you down. Don't let anybody try to make you. You make yourself."
