Emmanuelle was the movie that basically kicked off the porn industry – certainly the soft porn industry – and it starred one Sylvia Kristel. 2oceansvibe’s ties to the movie are bigger than you might be aware..
It is interesting to note that Yves Rousset-Rouard (the mayor of Menerbes) married 2oceansvibe editor Seth Rotherham and The Muse just two weeks ago in Provence. Yves Rousset-Rouard is the man who produced Emmanuelle.
According to the Telegraph:
Dutch actress Sylvia Kristel, who starred in the iconic 1974 erotic French film “Emmanuelle” and over 50 other movies, died in her sleep overnight after suffering from cancer, her agent said on Thursday.
“She died during the night during her sleep,” Marieke Verharen of Features Creative Management told AFP of the 60 year-old actress who had been admitted to an Amsterdam hospital in July.
Kristel also became famous for her steamy nude scenes in another 40 films, starring in the lead roles in X-rated versions of Lady Chatterly’s Lover and First World War spy drama Mata Hari.
Kristel – a heavy smoker since the age of 11 – was also treated for lung cancer ten years ago but managed to make a partial recovery.
In her 2006 autobiography Undressing Emmanuelle, she told of a personal life blighted by her battle with drugs and alcohol, and a series of destructive relationships with older men.[more here]
Our thoughts and prayers are with Sylvia’s friends and family.
