"Mara Lutra had a brief acting stint in two films during the mid-1970s, after which she largely withdrew from public view. This diminutive actress left her mark on two non-mainstream productions. While she ventured into adult cinema, she did not participate in explicit scenes. Her final film role was in 'Auditions' (1978), a pseudo-documentary set within the porn industry, featuring porn actors themselves. Mara's most notable appearance, however, was in John Holmes' iconic film 'Fantasm' (1976), also known as 'World of Sexual Fantasy'. In this movie, she starred alongside Uschi Digard in a segment titled 'The Girls'. Here, Mara and Uschi engage in an intimate lesbian encounter in a sauna, baring all for the camera. Mara's petite figure stands out, and her affectionate interactions with Uschi are sure to captivate viewers. For more of this scene, visit the film's main page. We tip our hats to Mara Lutra."
