Coulda Been A Contender
refinedsugar12 December 2023
Many models carved out acting careers doing late night erotic fare during the 90's which 'Rising Stars & Sexy Starlets' is all about. You get genre ladies, a few Playmates in the same format. An interview, clips from their work and a video segment. They succeed in capturing the theme they were going for, but I expected more from this title.

"Lisa Boyle" talks about herself and the T&A flick 'I Like To Play Games' is highlighted. This parlays into a movie premiere fantasy. She catches the eye of an attractive guy and they head off backstage where there's some lite boy/girl & she poses solo. I've always liked Lisa, but this took too long to get going. There's some good shots - a closeup of her boobs - but didn't deliver overall (7 mins).

"Lisa Marie Scott" is Playmate Feb 1995 and not having many movies to her credit makes this a stretch, but they show her in 'The Glass Cage'. One of the few erotic films she co-starred in. Lisa was a professional ballerina in real life so that's the theme of her segment. She practices with a male partner, solo strips and then he rejoins her for some topless dance moves (8.5 mins).

"Julie Strain" is a b-movie queen and a former Penthouse Pet who needs no intro. A bunch of her movie exploits are shown as she speaks. Then she strips in a theater front row center. I've always liked Julie's tall, sexy frame and this segment has some nice shots. Unfortunately her standing in front of the actual screen with an image imposed over her sometimes ruined the visuals (7 mins).

"Ashlie Ray" aka Ashlie Rhey was an unfamiliar name. A quick check yielded I'd seen her in one or two T&A romps. She ends up stripping as part of a movie role part being offered to her. It's not worth talking about at length (4.5 mins). "Monique Parent" is a familiar lady who has some roles shown before a James Bond-like segment catching the eye of a guy and ending up in bed together. Another scene that didn't do much for me (7 mins).

"Kate Rodger" is another unknown name who has a girl/girl at a horse ranch which would be right at home in a T&A flick, but I didn't find it very hot (7 mins). "Kelly Burns" is the pseudonym for actress Kehli O'Byrne. A common tactic used to distance themselves from this line of work. Her 'Watch Me' gets highlighted before she ends up in the filming of an acting job making out with her male co-star. It's a snooze (7 mins).

"Anna-Marie Goddard" is Playmate Jan 1994 and undoubtedly beautiful, but I can't say if her video is new material or not. Her inclusion is more than a stretch here too (4.5 mins). "Shauna O'Brien" is a legit genre lady and a Penthouse Pet as "Stevie Jean" too. She does a high energy number on the backlot of a movie set. There's some good shots, but it doesn't get as hot as you'd like (5.5 mins).

It's easy to count up the winners vs losers columns and see 'Rising Stars Sexy Starlets' doesn't do enough. As a fan of softcore ladies from b-movies or models from Playboy, Penthouse this title had a lot going for it. However much of this goodwill got swept away by tame segments and too much time spent talking.
