| person that she is on screen. (The exact opposite is almost always the case.) We talked for a bit and I found her charming, friendly and just so incredibly sexy, I could hardly stand it.
Roger T. Pipe We are here doing an interview for the internet with Swedish sensation Linda Thoren. Thank you very much for taking the time to talk to all the fans who love you.
Linda Thoren My pleasure.
Roger T. Pipe You're here in Los Angeles shooting some movies, correct?
Linda Thoren Yes. I have been very busy. So far, I have shot for Sin City, VCA, Penthouse, Wicked Pictures and Pleasure.
Roger T. Pipe So we can look forward to seeing you in a lot of new material?
Linda Thoren Yes, I am very tired. I have been working non-stop since I got here.
Roger T. Pipe Are you mostly shooting single scenes, or are you making features?
Linda Thoren Mostly single scenes now, but a few features.
Roger T. Pipe Where were you born?
Linda Thoren In northern Sweden.
Roger T. Pipe In a small town?
Linda Thoren Yes. I was born in a small village outside of the town. It had maybe one hundred houses.
Roger T. Pipe When is your birthday?
Linda Thoren Saptember 24, 1977.
Roger T. Pipe So you're twenty one.
Linda Thoren Yes, twenty one.
Roger T. Pipe Did you grown up in the small village?
Linda Thoren No, I grew up in the countryside. It was 500 meters to the closest neighbor.
Roger T. Pipe That must have been nice.
Linda Thoren Yeah. There was a lot of space, and a lot of cows. I am real country girl.
Roger T. Pipe Very different from here.
Linda Thoren Absolutely.
Roger T. Pipe You still live in Sweden?
Linda Thoren Yes, I live a few miles outside of Stolkhom. I have left the countryside for the city.
Roger T. Pipe How do you like Los Angeles?
Linda Thoren It's really great. It's big everything seems to be a great distance from each other. I like the people here. They are very friendly and talk a lot, even to strangers.
Roger T. Pipe Really?
Linda Thoren Yes, that doesn't happen a lot in Sweden, we are much more reserved.
Roger T. Pipe I think people are friendly to you, at least in part.Linda Thoren (Laughing) Oh thank you Roger.
Roger T. Pipe When did you start making movies?
Linda Thoren When I turned 18.
Roger T. Pipe How did you get into them?
Linda Thoren The first time, I was just very curious. I sent a letter to a men's magazine in Sweden. I was only seventeen at the time so they sent me home and told me to wait until I was eighteen. I had to wait six months and then I started doing pictures. After that, they asked me if I wanted to try a video. I started slow. The first time was a masturbation. Then after that came a full scene. So it wasn't hard-core right away.
Roger T. Pipe Good idea. Do you remember the name of the first movie you were in?
Linda Thoren The first real, professional movie I was in was Private Triple X number 10 I think. We did that in France, just south of Paris.
Roger T. Pipe Who was in that scene with you?
Linda Thoren Roberto Malone and the other guy was skinnier, with light brown hair. I don't remember his name.
Roger T. Pipe Were you nervous?
Linda Thoren Yeah, a little bit, but it was very professional, so it was OK.
Roger T. Pipe Did you enjoy it?
Linda Thoren Yeah, very much.
Roger T. Pipe How many movies have you made since then?
Linda Thoren I would say around thirty.
Roger T. Pipe Mostly for Private?
Linda Thoren No, I have only done two for Private. Then it's been a bit all over the world.
Roger T. Pipe Are there any that you have done and are particuarlly proud of?
Linda Thoren I am a very hard critic, so I don't think I am proud of anything. I can always be better.
Roger T. Pipe If someone has never seen any of your work and wants to see you, is there one you would recommend.
Linda Thoren I never watch my own movies.
Roger T. Pipe You don't?
Linda Thoren No, I hate to see myself. But if they were going to look at one, maybe the last anal scene I did with Rocco Sifreddi from Rock and Roll Rocco.
Roger T. Pipe That one was hot.
Linda Thoren Yes, I know that, it was hot to be there.
Roger T. Pipe Do you have any favorite men to work with?
Linda Thoren No, I don't care so much about the men in the movie. I turn to the camera, so for me it's not such a big deal if it's a gorgeous man or just some guy that they picked for me.
Roger T. Pipe So even a porn critic would work for you?
Linda Thoren Well, I really don't know. I don't know if I would go that far Rog, we all have to have standards.
Roger T. Pipe Do you work with women also?
Linda Thoren Oh yes.
Roger T. Pipe Any favorite women to work with?
Linda Thoren No, but there is one I look up to, Rebecca Lord. She is so very pretty. She is also very kind, not looking down at you or seeing you as more competition like a lot of the American girls.
Roger T. Pipe What were you like growing up, were you outgoing, shy?
Linda Thoren Oh very shy. I'm still very shy.
Roger T. Pipe You aren't shy now.
Linda Thoren Yes I am. When I have to, I can be outgoing, but off camera, I am shy.
Roger T. Pipe Do the people back home know what you do?
Linda Thoren Yes, the whole town knows.
Roger T. Pipe How do they feel about that?
Linda Thoren It's a little bit mixed. One Uncle is very upset and called me drunk to scream at me. But he is the only one who has reacted negatively. All my friends think it is so funny. They are amazed and want to know everythying about the business.
Roger T. Pipe Did you start having sex at a young age?
Linda Thoren No, normal age. I was 15. That's the legal age in Sweden.
Roger T. Pipe So you had been having sex for a couple of years before getting into movies?
Linda Thoren Yes. I was already in love with sex.
Roger T. Pipe Had you had sex with a woman before doing it on video?
Linda Thoren No, I hadn't.
Roger T. Pipe Do you remember who the first woman was?
Linda Thoren Yes. A Swedish girl from Stolkholm.
Roger T. Pipe After you finished your first scene, did you know right away you wanted to do more, or did you need time to think about?
Linda Thoren No, it was never something I had to think about it. It was just something I did. I never decided I was going to work with porno, because it just ended up like that.
Roger T. Pipe How tall are you?
Linda Thoren 168 CM
Roger T. Pipe You said you don't watch your own movies, do you watch other porn movies?
Linda Thoren Sometimes when I have to. I know I should watch more to learn what others are doing, but I don't watch many. You know what I'm saying?
Roger T. Pipe What do you think about the adult film business?
Linda Thoren I think television and mass media is looking at porn in a very wrong way. It is very serious. It's not a bunch of old men who come with drugs to give you before a movie. That is what the newspaper want it to look like. It is very serious and very friendly.
Roger T. Pipe So it has been very positive for you?
Linda Thoren Yes, it has.
Roger T. Pipe Is the American film business different than the European?
Linda Thoren Yes, there are a few differences between the American and European. When I was in Japan, that was the biggest difference.
Roger T. Pipe How is it different?
Linda Thoren In south Europe they have very long dinners, so there was a lot of wasted time. There would be two hours before we could start shooting while they eat and drink. It was kind of boring I think. I was not used to this. In Japan, the biggest difference was that they never cut the scene. So the girl and the boy have to have their sex for fifteen or thirty mintues and then be finished. They never take a break or do the make up or anything that is normally done in Europe. That's the biggest difference.
Roger T. Pipe Do you have any favorite things to do on camera?
Linda Thoren Not that I can think of.
Roger T. Pipe Do you do a lot of live internet shows?
Linda Thoren No. So far I have done two, sitting in front of the camera.
Roger T. Pipe Was that fun?
Linda Thoren Yes, it's fun to interact with the fans like that.
Roger T. Pipe How do you think your on screen personality reflects or differs from how you are in real life?
Linda Thoren It's quite similar I think. I don't even have a stage name, I use my real name, so this is me.
Roger T. Pipe Do you do any dancing?
Linda Thoren I have started in Sweden, but there aren't many good clubs.
Roger T. Pipe Maybe you will tour the US?
Linda Thoren Yes, but I need to get a teacher so I can get better.
Linda Thoren Come and see me. I love to meet people.
Roger T. Pipe What are your career goals in the business?
Linda Thoren I have started my own company, so hopefully that will be good.
Roger T. Pipe What is the company called.
Linda Thoren Linda Thoren Productions. The first movie is going to be a gonzo movie. It's with me and friends and should be wild.
Roger T. Pipe You're directing your own?
Linda Thoren Yes, I don't know when I will release it, but we are discussing a contract with Sin City.
Roger T. Pipe Would you like to make feature films with your company as well?
Linda Thoren Yes, eventually. We are looking at eight movies in the next year for Sin City.
Roger T. Pipe What are your outside interests?
Linda Thoren I love to watch TV, a lot of soaps and talk shows.
Roger Do you like American TV?.
Linda Thoren Yes, but I haven't had enough time. There are so many channels, so I keep jumping around. I have seen the talk show "Sally" and I love that.
Roger T. Pipe Have you been watching Jerry Springer?
Linda Thoren Yeah, but he has been in Sweden for a while. Sally is new for me.
Roger T. Pipe Do you have a boyfriend?
Linda Thoren Yes, for four years.
Roger T. Pipe Does he do movies?
Linda Thoren No, he is a journalist in Sweden.
Roger T. Pipe He's OK with you doing movies?
Linda Thoren Yes. It's tough sometimes, but we handle it well.
Roger T. Pipe Anything else you would like to say?
Linda Thoren I don't think so.
Roger T. Pipe That's about it. Thank you so much.
Linda Thoren Thank you Roger. | |
