Jessica Dime Reflects On Her Past & Guilt Of Feeling Like She Steered Young Girls Towards Exotic Dancing (VIDEO)
"She’s My Story" - Jessica Dime Reflects On Her Past And GuiltIn the late 1970s, Jessica Dime, a self-proclaimed “dancing queen” with an unconventional background in both film and theater, was navigating her way through a world that initially felt overwhelming yet strangely inspiring. But as she began to reflect on her life choices, it became clear that the decisions she made at the time—those of targeting exotic dancers for performances or even changing her own body type—had far-reaching consequences. These moments in her life were so deeply personal and so charged with both ambition and guilt.
In 1978, when Jessica Dime was working on *The Shaded Room*, a film that had already earned critical acclaim, she was still navigating the complexities of her identity as an artistically gifted woman. The film starred two of Jessica’s own colleagues: Diane von Heimburg, who played a groundbreaking actress, and Helen Mirren, whose career was just beginning to explode. But it wasn’t about acting; it was about her personal identity.
Jessica Dime had always known she was the type of person who could stand out in high-impact environments like Hollywood’s film industry. She had been exposed at a young age to the art of producing, directing, and performing, all while being mentored by her peers. But the world that she saw around her—especially the world of exotic dancers on the edge of mainstream culture—was far different. These women were not just performers; they represented a new, less defined class of individuality.
Dime was curious about how to align her art with their ideals. She wondered if she could create something that would draw them in the same way she had trained for her career. But then another thought came to mind: what if she didn’t? And that’s when Jessica realized one thing—she wasn’t alone in feeling conflicted.
She began reflecting on her own life choices, particularly the decisions that had shaped who she was at the time. She often stumbled upon these moments of self-reflection as a way to confront her fears about influence and identity. In *The Shaded Room*, she also grappled with the question: Would she be the one responsible for changing people’s perceptions? And what would it mean to change them?
As Jessica reflected on these questions, she realized that her actions at the time had far-reaching consequences. She was no longer just a film star; she was part of a culture that hadn’t been fully embracing her talent yet. But in *The Shaded Room*, she also discovered that there were people who needed to be influenced, and perhaps not just by someone as seemingly unrelated as herself.
In the end, Jessica Dime decided to change things. She changed her identity, which was initially a bit of a shock for everyone around her, but it was in the right way. She wasn’t trying to be another figure in a world that hadn’t been ready for her. Instead, she became part of a movement that sought to create not just new individuality but also new ways of seeing and understanding the world.
In *The Shaded Room*, Jessica’s story became more than just a personal reflection—it became a meditation on power, identity, and the consequences of influence. As she continued her work, she realized that her actions had created a ripple effect far beyond the immediate film. She had become a symbol of change, proving that it was possible to align one’s art with others’ ideals in ways that hadn’t been fully explored yet.
Today, Jessica Dime continues to reflect on her own life choices and the impact they’ve had on the world around them. She knows that she wasn’t the only person who felt conflicted about her identity at the time, but she has also come to understand that change is not something to be feared, but a choice.
In *The Shaded Room*, Jessica Dime’s story remains one of the most compelling and influential films ever produced, offering insight into the complexities of human experience—both personal and global. And as it stands, this film still serves as a reminder of the power that can influence not just individuals, but entire cultures and even their very history.
But for Jessica Dime, who now wears her name on amaize in both her art and her life choices, she knows that change is possible—and that it’s not something to be ashamed of. She knows that while her past choices may have left some people feeling inadequate or excluded, the way she saw herself was far from alone. And with that, she chose to live in a world where those who matter could find their voice and belonging.
As Jessica Dime continues to reflect on this journey forward, she sees no end to the story she began—that of her own identity, of her own art, and of the change she wanted to bring into the world around her.
