HUNGRY AS A MOOSE

She'll eat you out—of house and home.

Last time we saw French actress Barbara Moose we were worried she might starve, but she seems to have found some food, thank goodness, though she did it by breaking into a random kitchen. Still, it bodes well, even if at the moment she’s far below her optimum weight of 1,000 to 1,400 pouunds. Moose, who was also Martine Semo, Martine Semot, Elsa Pime, et al, starred in well over one hundred x-rated and sexploitation movies between 1974 and 1986, including Delires sexuelsGirls USA, RX for Sex, Infernal’s Partouze, Big Fuck, and 1977’s I porno zombi, aka Naked Lovers, which you can read about here. We’ll probably never see Moose again, as she’s quite elusive, but it’s good to know that with her new housebreaking and jar opening skills she’ll be fine.
