The French-made, soft-core porn film casts Paloma, 26, as a 17th century Transylvanian countess who gets her kicks by bathing in the blood of virgins. Though given few lines to speak, Paloma appears nude, engages in a lesbian love scene and at one point bathes in a vat of genuine pig's blood.

The summer after he graduated, he played in the Olympics, and, not long after that, he posed nude for a Viva magazine magazine centerfold. He is tending goal for the New England Minutemen these days, and he still feels successful, although he says he is not as wild as he used...
