Bad Girls is arguably actress Michelle Bauer's most prominent film role still featuring her pre-breast-enhanced body. Shortly after this movie, a more robust Bauer would emerge, the one familiar to fans of her bondage and scream queen activities.
Michelle Bauer talked about doing nude scenes in this and other films in her career in a recent article. Since various roles may require nudity, Bauer's "body maintenance" is a professional obligation. "I work out, run and try to watch my diet, but it's never easy on a shoot with the junk food that's around all the time," she said. Aside from her own roles, she has doubled for stars who decline nudity (including Margaux Hemingway and Judy Landers. Though fans welcome her "clothes dispensing" scenes, B-film quotas of bare skin and blood-letting have raised some thorny issues with Bauer's family. "They're basically split," said Bauer. "After a while, my parents praised the funny and dramatic sides of my performance and stopped chastising me about the nudity and violence. Some of my siblings, however, are still not supportive of my work and, at times, that hurt. I accept parts that I think are challenging and fun. When people criticize my work, I tell them that they are entitled to their opinions, but that doesn't mean they're right. I believe in myself and my work and, what other people say just doesn't upset me."
Michelle Bauer's debut,
Michelle Bauer, acting under the name Pia Snow, appeared in this and other X-rated films right after she was a Penthouse Pet. Though she was nude, she never performed intercourse or other types of unsimulated sex. She was happy to appear in the film, and on the covers of other X-rated films, but insisted on a double for the sex scenes. She then transitioned from porn films to becoming a scream queen in mainstream B-level horror films and sex comedies.
