Via AVN, Fleshbot, and The Villager comes news of porn's latest crossover success, this time one of my long-time favorite performers, Justine Joli, who has been cast in a starring role in the play Caligula Maximus, playing the Caesonia, the consort of the God Emperor.Joli's crossover into Off-Broadway Theater rekindles an old link with the porn world, as much of the early talent in porn came out of that milieu. (Among them, Paul Thomas, who first cut his acting chops in Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar.) Not to mention with the story of Caligula: the producers of the play are emphasizing that this will not be a theatrical version of the 1979 movie, there's probably no way of recounting that history without making it at least a bit smutty.
