'I (Zara Whites) share a room with Paulina Peters, a blonde'
The context relates to Zara's arrival in the US. She may have a hazy memory, like most of us, maybe her's more so, what with the drug usage. From what she remembers of her past, I guess she does remember sharing a room for a while with someone in the same line of work called Paulina Peters. For all we know, while Zara achieved, maybe Paulina Peters failed to do so. Maybe for one reason or another, Zara was credited one time only as Paulina Peters, why, who knows?
Paulina Peters alias for Zara Whites
Re: Paulina Peters alias for Zara Whites
What annoys me is she writes the book under her porn name,
but makes reference to living with a girl caleld Paulina Peters
(real or "fake name")?
There is NO porn actress who used that name that I am aware of,
so if she is referring to a (living) real person would she not
take objection?
At that time real names of porn performers were rarely known outside
of the porn industry.
Anyway if that is the only passage in the book where she mentions
"Paulina", what was the context or point of it all (was she influential in her
life/career)?
What garbage!

Re: Paulina Peters alias for Zara Whites
4WIW [not very much] I guess she's misremembering sharing a room with
her compatriot Silver, and conflating her and that alias with another from
the legion of badly-'enhanced' starlets always around in such a milieu.

Can't blame her for that. Wouldn't have sold many if it'd been written by
a Doris Schmuck : -) Blame her for then biting the hand that [however
badly and exploitatively] fed her. Mind you, it doesn't sit all that well
when a fairly intelligent girl with a prior career as an adult dancer and
[euphemism-alert] sex-worker, briefly married to a pornstar, claims her
innocence was taken advantage of.

Re: Paulina Peters alias for Zara Whites
Two questions JJ, before we nuke this thread:
=I am only aware of ONE obvious fake anal from Zara, and that is in KISS IT GOODBYE
(1991,Pinnacle). As far as I recall, she did perform 3 authentic anals in 3 US titles (probably the best
being in SECRETS): ANAL NATION, SECRETS, Buttman's ULTIMATE WORKOUT,
and they were all with Rocco Siffredi (I wonder why!). The last movie cited was later
reissued in re-edited state due to the presence in the scene of an underage Alexandra Quinn.
Which other faked anal scenes/titles are you referring to?
=You mention that her romantic relationship with M. was brief, however I read
in various sources over the years that it was a rather long 3-year relationship.
Can you clarify?

Re: Paulina Peters alias for Zara Whites
Perhaps that name was just assigned to her (with or without her knowledge/consent)
Zara chose the name *Whites* in reference to the brothel she once worked at. The name *Zara* was used as she was looking for something original. The first time she used this name to credit herself as, was for a film filmed in Los Angeles, in a scene(s) with Rocco:
Ready to give the best of myself with my Italian thoroughbred (Rocco). We (Zara & Robbo) meet on the floor of the property which houses our antics, decorated only with a piano and a fireplace to also fire burning my desire.
Maybe some has seen the film, and remembers the scene with Zara, Rocco and the piano & fireplace?
Here's a possibility: Without a screen name, and not wishing to user her real name, maybe Paulina Peters was chosen for one time only.

You're right, I think the 'fifth' was a recycled scene. So, one fake - it
hardly seems worth her getting bothered about. And I remember her moaning
about Rocco's size and/or lack of tenderness [not that we can take that as
Gospel...]. So why not use a smaller, nicer chap? D-uh.
> =You mention that her romantic relationship with M. was brief
I said the marriage was brief. TBH I wasn't/am not even sure they'd ever
tied the knot - I had the same impression as you, that they lived together
for at last a year, unwed. Please bear in mind some of my comments precis
the chitchat on VEF, ballasted by my possibly imperfect recall of skimming
the book nearly ten years ago - with my less-than-fluent French.

I think that's the conslusion we had already reached. Whether she or the
studio chose that alias we may never know.

Re: Paulina Peters alias for Zara Whites
Horse feathers!
Amy was already using a number of names. For a very early Penthouse phot
layout she used another ("Amy Kristensen"). For porn name she had already settled on "Zara" in
early Buttman movie (around her porn debut), then quickly followed with Zara Whites.
"Paulina Peters" was just a bullshit name probably thought up by the
production company (she only made that one movie for Coast to Coast).
It was never used again (for other distributors), so you can draw your own logical conclusions.
With regards to her recollections of living with a certain "Paulina Peters" that is
probably a lot of horse feathers as well, probably a mixture of hazy souveneers
of people she came into contact with.
Anyway it is useless and very pointless figuring out how she got that name
or whether she really lived with a "Paulina Peters". I mean so what?

Re: Paulina Peters alias for Zara Whites
While 100% answers probably will never surface, Zara claims to have lived in an apartment with Paulina Peters for 3 months. Living with someone for 3 months isn't easily forgotten. I like to believe there is a Paulina Peters, and probably/most likely neither of them cared too much for the name being used, as the industry was so small back then, long before the internet etc. the pair of them were too busy with drugs, shopping, earning easy money (Zara atleast, cann;t comment on the other one).
