[1][2][3] Adopted by her parents in Tulsa, Oklahoma[citation needed] and married at a young age, Valentine posed for Gallery magazine's "Girl Next Door" amateur photo contest.
A week after filming, she returned home, packed up her belongings, left her husband, and moved to Los Angeles to become a full-time adult actress.
The movie also featured other adult film performers such as Nina Hartley, Jenna Jameson and Julian Andretti.
The New York Times review of the film said:Christine Fugate's melancholy documentary portrait of the porn star Stacy Valentine, suggests that the intersection of pornography and cosmetic surgery has given birth to a new genre of performer: the porn star as human approximation of an inflatable sex toy.
With her platinum hair, fat-injected lips, breast implants and body planed by liposuction, Ms. Valentine doesn't look entirely real.
