	Actors - Margo Stilley

Margo Stilley (born 1983 in South Carolina) is an American actress and former model whose main claim to fame is her portrayal of Lisa in the controversial 2004 British film 9 Songs
, directed by Michael Winterbottom. This is, according to the Guardian, the most sexually explicit mainstream film to be given a rating, largely because it includes several scenes of real sexual acts between the two lead actors, including intercourse and oral sex.

Mini biography

She wanted director, Michael Winterbottom, to refer to her simply by her character's name Lisa in interviews about the movie 9 Songs.

Her mother lives in a small Bible-belt town in Onslow County, North Carolina.

Personal quotes

"Even if I never make another film, I still think it's great." (on her sexually explicit movie 9 Songs
)

"I suppose coming from a background that tells you, "Sex is bad, sex is bad, you're going to hell, sex is bad," and then seeing on the news that the president is having an affair, it's not really put in a good light. So I wanted to be part of a film, a beautiful film, about something that should be viewed in a beautiful light. This is a nice thing, it's fun, everyone does it, it's great and when it's safe - and we're promoting safe sex - and when it's someone you're in love with, it's great."

"I'm the worst model in the world. But I enjoyed it, it was great. You travel all over the world and get paid a stupid amount of money for doing absolutely nothing."

"I wanted to make a film about something I really believe in, which is to show sex in a very positive light, as a very important piece of everyday life and a very important piece of a relationship, whether it's successful or unsuccessful. What I find in films I see is that sex is always a turning point in action, someone's cheating on someone, or someone dies. It's always the kids having sex in horror films that die. And I didn't like that. And in the sexually explicit films I've seen like Ai No Corrida (the Japanese classic in which the heroine cuts off her partner's penis), they're crazy, people don't do that, it's not normal!" (on why she made 9 Songs)
