When her debut adult film, ''[[Behind the Green Door]]'', was released in 1972, the contrast between her "pure" corporate image and the film's content created a massive media scandal. Procter & Gamble immediately pulled the product from shelves, which inadvertently provided millions of dollars in free publicity for the film.
