5. Laura Angel:

• Nikki Andersson retired shortly after Inferno, citing exhaustion with the industry’s emotional demands. She now lives in obscurity, reportedly working in visual arts.
• Karen Lancaume’s tragic suicide in 2005 led to a re-evaluation of her work. Critics now view her Inferno performance as a cry for help—a document of a woman using pornography to express a real-life sense of violation.
• Laura Angel continued performing into the 2010s, becoming a director herself. Her later work shows Salieri’s direct influence: brutal lighting, non-linear narratives, and a contempt for romanticism.
