Lately, porn star Sasha Grey has been burning bright under an abundance of press limelight. Is it because of her vocal appearance on the latest Current 93 record? Her legitimate acting in the horror satire Smash Cut? The American Apparel ads and Terry Richardson shots? More likely, it's her starring role in Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience, in which Grey portrays Chelsea, a high-class escort who visits clients during the economic crisis before the 2008 presidential election. Chelsea balances her work's disengagement against emotional struggles with her boyfriend, to mixed results. Tackling her career steps with calculated and culturally aware intelligence, Grey has the world at her hands and is spending that capital wisely.
