Paul Thomas told the 8/20/99 about his new movie called Pure which he says is the best thing he's done since The Masseuse. Inari Vachs plays a character based on a girlfriend Paul Thomas had in the 70's.

PT: "Remember a porno actress named Kristine Heller? Remember the movie [Alex deRenzy's] Baby Face? The girl in the swing? That was Kristine Heller. She was my girlfriend in the 70's. She had a big problem between her Catholic upbringing, and her thing in porno. She had some problems and left the business. Ever hear of the Elizabeth Claire Prophet group? She joined a cult in southern California. I went down and followed her. She quit the cult then went back dancing for the Mitchell Brothers just for the money. But she would study her religion at night. I hadn't talked to her for years and found out she committed suicide about ten years ago."

Bobby Vitale plays Thomas in the film.

PT: "It's a cautionary tale. Beware that deciding to go into pornography is a serious decision in your life, made usually by people who aren't the slighest bit capable of making serious decisions and understanding that what they're about to do may have an impact on their life. I don't want to get to heavy, but it's the most emotionally true movie I've ever done." (From )

Critic Pat Riley describes Heller: "Distinctive face, small tits, a little womanly, allegedly Australian. A real nut crusher."
