Bodil Joensen or Bodil Jørgensen (25 September 1944 - 3 January 1985) was a Danish pornographic actor born in the village Hundige, near Copenhagen. At the age of 12, Bodil was violently raped by a stranger in a railway station. On returning home to tell her mother, she was beaten and to shock her mother, vowed to sleep with boars.
Before turning to pornography for an income, Bodil worked with animals - principally pigs - on a farm in a conservative area of Denmark. Her landlord, a farmer called Neilsen, commented, "She was passionate about animals", adding that she was entranced by the sight of animals breeding, an activity she stated she found "wonderful" to help with, later leaving to set up her own breeding farm, "Insemination Central", which became popular also for her ability to handle aggressive animals such as boar, and was then ruined by country gossip, spread principally by farmers' wives who were unhappy at the prospect of their husbands working with a young single girl on farm business. Friends commented that she "was never given much of a chance" by such people. She commented later that "9 out of 10 men wanted to fuck me, and their wives hated me."[1]
Launched in the context of a failing business and attempts to remain solvent in order to keep her livestock and home, her career in pornography began at age 17 when she appeared in "light fetish" pornography before establishing herself in the bestiality subgenre. She starred in a number of feature films and shorts for companies such as Color Climax, in which she and other actors had sex with various animal species. Between 1969 and 1972 she starred with animals in over 40 movies.[1]
She drew special attention as the Boar Girl, a reputation earned from her live performances with swine, as well as her participation in films shot with pigs on her own breeding centre. The movies she appeared in combined a peculiar blend of the "tolerant contemporary Danish society" image and Scandinavian rustic nostalgia. The prototypical film of this type is A Summer Day (1970) by Shinkichi Tajiri, showing her with animals on her farm to the tune of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. What made her famous worldwide, however, was the unusual nature of the sexual acts she performed. In 1981, following a change in Denmarks laws, she went to prison for 30 days for neglecting her animals.
After 1972, she experienced a sharp deterioration, undergoing very obvious physical and psychological changes, first working as a "live show" and "sexual role play" girl and then ending up in straight street prostitution. She gave her last interview in 1980[2] and many believed her to have committed suicide, however in the April 2006 UK documentary, "The Dark Side of Porn: The Search For Animal Farm", which traced the production of the notorious underground film known as Animal Farm from excerpts of her many bestiality films, it was stated by a close friend of Bodil's that she died on January 3, 1985 from cirrhosis of the liver. The program included footage of her gravestone.
