Andrew Dice Clay's The Adventures of Ford Fairlane

Through the Portal of Time (1991), she then starred in
over a dozen straight-to-video sexploitation movies,
most notably Sex and the Other Man (1996), Vivid (1997)
(also released as Luscious), and Spider's Web (2001). Wührer

wrote an article for the September 2002 issue of Glamour
Magazine about the insecurities that led her to get
implants early in her career and the sense of
self-acceptance she acquired. After its publication, she

pressure she received from a prominent record producer

era of the Video Vixen".
