OK.  So an 18 year old girl makes a few X-rated movies.  At 25 she decides
to settle down, get married and have a normal life.  Somebody however, feels
her legendary notabilty is wortth preserving for posterity, and

So the question becomes balancing the public's appetite for a human
sacrifice against a persons desire for privacy.
