With a rating of just 24 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, 9 Songs isn’t exactly beloved by movie fans and, in fact, earned criticism for its numerous sex scenes, which one reviewer described as ‘exceedingly boring’.

However, Stilley has stood by her decision to actually perform on camera despite the fact it left people ‘really angry’ with her.In a 2008 interview with the Irish Examiner, she explained: “When I did press conferences people would shout abuse at me.”

Stilley described being called a ‘wh**e’ and a ‘sl*t’, adding: “People ask me if I felt that [director] Michael Winterbottom took advantage of me because I hadn’t acted before, but they forget that I developed the character.”

When asked about people’s reactions, Stilley pointed out that the movie was ‘about love and sex’, adding: “It wasn’t porn.”

“I mean, I had sex with my boyfriend last night and that wasn’t porn,” she continued.”It was just hot sex! 9 Songs was a real film about love and sex, and I wanted to do that film and I am proud of it.”

Despite being thrust into the spotlight thanks to 9 Songs, Stilley went on to assure that she doesn’t feel she has been ‘typecast’ as a result.”I honestly can say it hasn’t affected my career,” she said. “I don’t get seen only for roles as women who have sex a lot.”

Prior to becoming an actor, Stilley worked as a model after leaving her home in North Carolina and flying to Milan.

She later ended up in London, where she landed a part in an Israeli advertisement through a modelling contact.Those in charge of the advert knew the casting department for 9 Songs, and after the necessary introductions were made, Stilley went on to become their star, playing the role of Lisa.
