Who Should Be Steven Soderbergh’s “Girlfriend”?

Director Steven Soderbergh has announced that his next project will be "The Girlfriend Experience," a cinéma-vérité low-budget indie film about a $10,000-a-night hooker. Since the movie would be shot in the style of his previous film, "Bubble," it will employ a minimal amount of money, sets, professional actors, or even written words--the dialogue will be mostly improvised. This lack of Hollywood touches, plus the subject matter, has led early speculation to be that Soderbergh may hire an experienced adult film actress to play the lead. But who would that be?

We can think of dozens of actresses off the top our head who can convincingly hump like a hooker, but can they handle the off-the-cuff dramatic style and display the emotional range required to make a full human person believable on screen? Amateur casting directors everywhere are ready to weigh in--and frankly we're a little hurt that our siblings at Defamer didn't think to ask us--but who better than our readers to find us the prefect choice? We have a few nominees of our own in the poll below, but feel free to make your own suggestions in the comments. The future of mainstream porn depends on you!
