“Fame is fleeting; beauty is only skin deep; you can’t take it with you.” All of these are true and yet some stars shine so brightly that they remain with us forever. Such is the case with Gia; at the pinnacle of her success, she was the most beautiful and sought after star in adult films. The world truly was at her feet, nothing was beyond her grasp. Her meteoric rise was matched only by her catastrophic fall from grace. Though gone, Gia has left an indelible impression on the industry she left behind. Memories of her smoldering sexual heat are burned into the minds of co-stars and fans across the globe. She is the star by which all other stars are measured today.

Her tale can finally be told. “Gia: Portrait of a Porn Star” tells the stranger-than-fiction true story of Gia. As the biggest star in adult films, Gia (Played perfectly by Sunny Leone) had it all. Her movies were the most popular the industry had ever seen and she graced the covers of the biggest magazines on the planet. Gia could have had any man or woman she wanted. Her co-stars begged to work with her and fans waited hours for the opportunity to bask in her beauty for a few seconds. So powerful was her presence that she became the first contract star to ever demand and receive royalties for her performances. Only her controversial fall from grace could match the brilliance of career. In “Gia: Portrait of a Porn Star” she is remembered by those who knew her best, her friends, lovers, peers and fans. At last Gia’s story can be told.

“Gia: Portrait of a Porn Star” is directed by Spencer Benedict who also directed “Sunny’s Slumber Party.” Benedict also wrote the script with Sunny Leone in mind for the lead.
