I watched an interesting movie on Netflix called "After The Porn." It profiled some of the former mainstream actors (both male and female). Mary Carey, John Leslie, Randy West, Houston to name a few. Profiled their upbringing, how they got into the business, their time in the industry and what their life has been like since retiring or leaving. It wasn't an uplifting story. The men have faired better than the women since leaving the industry.
I'd be interested in comments from anyone who gets the opportunity to see it.
