In an 1977 interview with Playboy, Streisand stated that the woman in the film is not her and she had actually viewed a copy of the film out of curiosity.
• A fraudulent sex tape of an O.J. Simpson look-alike and two prostitutes was distributed over the internet in June 2006. Simpson's lawyer acknowledged that Simpson does appear fully clothed in the tape but that the man engaged in sex acts with the same women is not him. The tape's distributor, however, maintains that the man in the tape is, in fact, Simpson.
• Zahra Amir Ebrahimi is one of the best-known actresses in Iran. In 2006, a 20-minute sex tape from 2004 hit the Internet starring Ebrahimi's then-fiance and a woman bearing a resemblance to Ebrahimi. Ebrahimi has denied that the girl is her and has suggested the possibility of a look-alike being used by her ex-fiance to hurt her career. See also Iranian sex tape scandal.
