Sasha Grey, the American former porn star who has since turned to mainstream acting and modelling, was photographed reading to a group of first and third grade students earlier this month.
In pictures obtained by Tmz.com, the X-rated star is seen entertaining students with a novel, although it is unclear whether parents of the students attending Emerson Elementary in California were aware Sasha was making an appearance as a guest speaker. The star confirmed the news by tweeting, "Spent the am with Read Across America Compton, reading to the sweetest 1st and 3rd grade students @ Emerson Elementary", however, a representative for the school's district has denied Grey ever made an appearance, saying, "We have several celebrities who read to our students each year.The actress you indicated was not present". According to its Facebook page, the organisation Read Across America is "designed to promote literacy and instil a lifelong love of reading" using "individuals from the fields of entertainment, athletics, business and politics". Despite becoming a huge adult film star , the actress soon turned to serious movies and starred in Steven Soderbergh's 'The Girlfriend Experience'. She also played herself in a guest appearance on award winning television show 'Entourage'.
As well as acting, Sasha is also a member of the band aTelecine and featured in Eminem's music video for 'Space Bound'.
