Boogie Nights is a 1997 drama film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Set in Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley, the script focuses on a young nightclub dishwasher who becomes a popular star of pornographic films, and chronicles his rise and fall from the Golden Age of Porn of the 1970s through the excess of the 1980s. The film also features cameos by porn actors Nina Hartley and Veronica Hart . Eddie Adams is a high school dropout who lives with his father and alcoholic mother in Torrance, California. He works at a San Fernando Valley nightclub owned by Maurice Rodriguez, where he... is discovered by porn director Jack Horner, who auditions him by watching him having sex with Rollergirl, a porn starlet who always wears skates. He gives himself the screen name Dirk Diggler, and becomes a star because of his good looks, youthful charisma, and extraordinarily large penis. His success allows him to buy a new house, an extensive wardrobe, and a "competition orange" Chevrolet Corvette.
