We suppose that there are myriad drawbacks to being the offspring of two porn stars. Discussions of the office would include words like "jizz" and "gangbang", and of course the high-school-hallway taunts of "Hey, Thora, your mom sure is good at sucking dick." But having your dad on set while you're trying to film a simulated sex scene and the director is yelling "Harder! Faster!" has to be one of the worst.
For her latest film, The Winter of Frozen Dreams, Thora Birch is taking a classy approach to the family business, fucking on film, by stopping short of insertion. And her dad, Deep Throat minor player Jack Birch, is making it even classier by watching every second of his daughter's fake copulation. Page Six reports:
THE crew making "The Winter of Frozen Dreams" in upstate Schenectady was horrified when the father/manager of star lady Thora Birch insisted on watching the filming of her sex scenes with Dean Winters.Even though it's industry practice to shoot sex scenes on a closed set, Jack Birch – who met Thora's mother, Carol Connors, as her co-star in "Deep Throat" – demanded to be present as his daughter and Winters simulated intercourse last week.
"It was so wrong," said one insider. "The director is saying, 'Harder! Faster!' and the father is giving Winters the thumbs up."
Jack Birch was on the set every day giving orders – even telling director Eric Mandelbaum where to place his camera so that Thora would look her best.
Mandelbaum was about to shoot the first sex scene Monday when, "all of a sudden, the front door is being kicked in. Her father was threatening to kill the assistant directors. Then he threatens to pull her from the movie with three days of shooting left."
Making matters worse, a problem with the focus on the camera necessitated 14 takes.
"It was the most bizarre, perverse scene," said our witness. "One girl on the crew broke down crying."
We like to think that this is just Jack's way of saying that he's proud of his little girl's accomplishments and he's been taking similar action all her life. When Thora, as a toddler, took her first poop in the big-people toilet, Jack burst into the bathroom and gave a thumbs up. And who could ever forget that moment when fourteen-year-old Thora was getting felt up for the first time and her dad threw the door open, assessed the situation, and said to his daughter's boyfriend, "Way to go, stud"?
We don't know if Jack was there when Thora filmed her topless scene in American Beauty, but regardless you can see it at MrSkin.com.
