When a young Belladonna appeared tear-stained and shaken on primetime US television in , few would have predicted a bright future for the raven-haired adult film starlet. Her first pornographic film role required the year-old to embrace "anal", a style of sex the daughter of a Mormon bishop had never tried, let alone rehearsed or prepared for. Soon after that came "The Gangbang Girl 29", in which 12 men dressed as prison inmates pummelled, probed and battered her into sexual submission. In the two years the American film crew followed her around, cameras captured Belladonna's traumatic transformation from naive Utah schoolgirl her birth name was Michelle to "ultra hardcore" porn specialist.
