Pulp Features

Spain has produced many actresses who were hot beyond hot over the years, such as Emma Cohen, Esperanza Roy, Pilar Ordonez, Klara Badiola, Maria Paz Pondal, Julia Saly, Diana Conca, Helga Line, Eve Cobo, Ana Belen… The list goes on and on.

Now there’s Christie Levin, one of the most blazing of the hot, an actress who has an aura of sensuality about her like few others.

Born in Madrid on March 26, 1976, Christie was a model before entering the world of film. Thus far she has had just three pictures, but more are to come, while she awaits these and fills in time either by doing voice over or a handful of short movies.

She has been pushed heavily by Jesus Franco, the cult direct who gave us Lina Romy, as well as a flood of horror movies in the 1970s and 1980s. He is still active now in the 2000s.

Though some have been quick to downplay this director and his works, others love him. Levin has always been quick to praise him as a man of under rated talent and a person from whom, along with Lina Romy, she has learned a great deal.

Most recently, Levin may be seen in Snakewoman, a film about vampirism, with a strong lesbian subtext. The lesbian angle has been insinuated in past films, but seldom portrayed in full blast, until this go around. In this, Levin practically melts the TV screen when you watch the DVD.

Before this, Levin also played a major part and a purely slutty role/character in Franco’s Broken Dolls.

And before that, she was seen in Red Silk.

And people thought that the eroticism Spain was once known for in the heyday of Paul Naschy, was dying out.

Levin is a product of the times and by all accounts, a modern woman. Face it, when photos on her gallery depict various fetishes that would have given the late Francisco Franco a heart attack (the dictator and not the director), it is obvious Spain and its younger generation have changed. The taboos of old are gone and Levin is a prime example of this.

Repeatedly open about sexuality, nude poses and fetishes, Levin is somewhat like the lusty figures she portrays in the films. She has stated among other things, that the study of the history of sex fascinates her. One day she hopes to visit the Sex Museum in New York City. She also has love for Spanish food and wine, but not to the excesses that become destructive and is emphatic about keeping a good figure.

As time goes on, there will be a great deal more to say about this young actress. In the meantime, check out the DVDs and keep an eye on this actress, who is clearly on the move.
