In a new interview this weekend to mark the publication of the English edition of her autobiography "Emmanuelle Uncovered", Kristel talks about her post-"Emmanuelle" life and career, which despite several "cocaine-fuelled, drunken years living with (actor) Ian McShane in Hollywood" and losing out on millions of dollars in movie profits turned out to be a relatively normal one after all, even if she seems pretty wistful about the role that made her a star: in another interview published last week in the Telegraph, she says "You're much better off as a love goddess to die around the age of 40 ... You save yourself a lot of trouble."
