Synopsis:
In 1995, Oklahoma housewife Stacy Baker posed for a photograph that changed her life. Encouraged by ther then-husband to pose nude, Stacy was soon gracing the cover of Hustler magazine and accepting offers to perform in adult films. Award-Winning filmmaker Christine Fugate's interest in exploring pornography through the eyes of a woman led her to the newly christened Stacy Valentine. Fugate spent two years documenting Valentine's rise to fame in the adult film industry, as well as her quest to find real love and happiness. Internet sex shows, faked orgasms, fan conventions, and DPs (see Enter) are all in a day's work for Stacy. Other occupational hazards include breast and lip augmentation, and lipsuction--shown here in graphic detail. An entertaining and intimate portrait, The Girl Next Door allows us to experience the exotic world of pornography through the eyes of a housewife from Oklahoma as she transforms herself into the industry's hottest new star, appearing in over 50 films, and ultimately reaching her goal of Best American Starlet at the Hot D'Or Awards at the Cannes Film Festival.
