Margo Stilley (born November 20, 1982, South Carolina, U.S.A.) is an American actress and former model.
Film and Television Roles
Stilley portrayed Lisa in the controversial 2004 British film 9 Songs, directed by Michael Winterbottom. According to The Guardian, 9 Songs was the most sexually explicit mainstream film to date, largely because it includes several scenes of real sexual acts between the two lead actors, including sexual intercourse and oral sex. Stilley asked that Winterbottom refer to her simply by her character's name in interviews about the film.
In 2006 she guest-starred as Roma Sheraton in the British British television comedy series Mayo.
In 2007 she appeared in the horror film Reverb, the comedy Men Don't Lie and the drama Frost Flowers.
Trivia
Stilley was raised as a fundamentalist Christian but converted to Judaism in 2006. [1]
Personal quotes
- "Even if I never make another film, I still think it's great." (on the film 9 Songs)
- "I suppose coming from a background that tells you, '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 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)
