She became the mistress of an Italian count and after they broke up she moved to Paris where she worked as a call girl. She was also photographed for magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse and then tried the adult film industry, performing in a scene with Rocco Siffredi in John Stagliano's Buttman's Ultimate Workout.
