French actress Dany Verissimo became world famous overnight when she was cast as “Lola” in 2004 from the French movie “District 13” produced by Luc Besson (which became a huge hit for a French film) and she has been in movies and TV since then . But before that she had done several softcore and hardcore porn scenes as she was struggling to be a proper mainstream actress

I feel like at some point in the 20th century “softcore” in France was just like, Tuesday afternoon television.
