Jessica Alba to Star in Film Based on Sex Toy Saleswoman’s Story
Jessica Alba will star in The Fun Lady, a film about a woman who sells sex toys in a small Arkansas town.
The story draws on the life of Linda Brewer, who became a top seller for the company Passion Parties after starting out as a high school dropout in Arkansas.
In the film, Alba plays Mora, who returns to her parents’ hometown after her life falls apart and starts selling sex toys despite knowing little about sexual pleasure.
Mora’s sales parties challenge local taboos and bring women together to discuss topics they had kept quiet about.
Director Andy Tennant said the story interested him because it explores relationships and the suppression of women’s sexual identity.
Production is set to begin early next year, with Alba also producing the film through her company, Metalmark Entertainment.

What people are saying
I’ve always felt in literature and everything else that female characters are so much more interesting than male characters, especially in movies
It’s such a lovely movie.
The fact that it was based on a true story… I just found it incredible, and what a great jumping-off point for a story about not only human sexuality but relationships and the suppression of female sexual identity.
