Sister Carré

SPOTLIGHT

"I only like dinner," says Carre Otis, lighting up a cigarette over lunch. The former supermodel and star of the soft-core porn hit Wild Orchid is stubborn on the point—she is, in fact, stubborn on most points. "I was ferocious about my rights as a model," she says. "I was one of the first to say, 'I'm not gonna wear furs.' Vogue would freak, but I didn't care."

Despite a disastrous first interview with modeling maven Eileen Ford ("She said the space between my knees and my ankles was too short—what a bitch"), Otis started modeling professionally at fourteen. Last year she won the part and the heart of co-star Mickey Rourke in Wild Orchid, and this year, at twentytwo, she strutted for Bruce Weber in Calvin Klein's new advertising campaign. But the true, tattooed Otis—who rides her Harley through the streets of L.A.—says she prefers a low profile. "I don't go out at night, because I would rather say nothing than sit and talk about who's got the biggest cock or the nicest tits. And that's all anybody is talking about."
