Maggie Gyllenhaal: ‘Pornography is an art form’


The Honourable Woman star explains why her role as a prostitute in New York drama The Deuce changed her views on sex work.

Set in the grimy, trash-strewn New York of 1971, The Deuce is named after a notoriously seedy stretch of West 42nd Street that was populated by pimps and prostitutes, and home to live peep shows and porn shops. Written by David Simon, who created The Wire, and his frequent collaborator George Pelecanos, the series charts the rise of the pornography industry in New York City.
