I don't think you'd catch Kathee dead on the Oprah show, or any other TV appearance.
:-)
Violet, I don't know very well.

Regina talks well in front of the camera, and I think is a bit more "sensitive" to the needs of the commercial adult world in her conversation.

But anybody that can hold their own and look comfortable (like Violet did,) on Oprah with the largest possible audience of millions staring at her, deserves a very big pat on the back. She did well, and I think did a good job of "de-stigmatizing" the industry for middle America. And I think she only spoke of what most people were thinking, anyhow.

As for the early porn, oh yea, I remember the 8MM (Super and standard, B&W and color, no sound.) We sold/rented those too. By the time you had the leader threaded on the take up reel, you were into the action. 50 footers were 2.5 minutes, and the big 200 footers were only 8-10 minutes.
Won't forget them anytime soon.

But no, the videos I was referring to is the mass that was created mid 80's, early 90's direct for video. One studio that sticks out in my mind was western visuals. I think I had their entire catalog in all my stores.And of course, the taboo american style series that actually wore out., and had to be replaced. and it was "Shot on real film!"

Those are the titles I'm talking about, lurking around out there in the ether, waiting to be dumped onto the world. There is no way you are ever gonna get those people "properly paid." And none of them require 2257, as of course, that was before 2257.

We'll see.
But back to the topic at hand. any way you slice it, it was a great big "Good" for the industry, in my opinion.
