UPDATE: Porn Star Sasha Grey Did Not Appear In The ‘True Detective’ Opening Credits, She’s Just A Lying Liar
During the much-analyzed (there’s a bad pun in there that’ll make sense later) opening credits for True Detective, a mysterious, dark-haired topless woman appears on screen for all of three seconds. Who is she? Why does she have a fluorescent crucifix in hair? Why isn’t she wearing a shirt? Do you think she’s cold? The Internet was stumped on her true identity, but courtesy of the Daily Beast, now we have an answer. If you believe Sasha Grey, at least.
I’m seated outside with Grey having lunch in Austin, Texas, where her latest film, Open Windows, is premiering as part of SXSW. She hasn’t seen the aforementioned TV show, so I whip out my iPhone and show her the image of “Woman and Crucifix.”
“What the f*ck?!” she exclaims. She’s in shock. “That’s my nose! That’s me! One hundred percent…I’m in True Detective!” she shrieks in jest. “That’s the opening credits? Yeah, I need to find out about this. That’s so weird.” (Via)
This reminds me: why hasn’t a True Detective porn parody been made yet? It practically writes itself. “The only thing Bust Cohle and Marty Hard-On can’t detect is their love for each other, until one fateful road trip to Reverend Buttle’s house. From the mind of Nic Jizzolatto cums True Dicktective.”
