Quote

1

[on the effect The Poker House rape scene had on its viewers] I had a girl come up to me, and she's like 'I'm a rape survivor.' I said, 'No you're not. Stop that.' She's like, 'What?' She's 17 and came up to me after the movie. She said, 'I was raped at 14.' I said, 'That stupid ass man did a fucked up thing. It has nothing to do with you. You are not tarnished, you are not changed, you are fine. He's fucked up. You're fine.' Her eyes opened.

3	In 1998 she appeared in the memorable 'Go Baby Go' commercials, promoting horse racing for the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. Many thought the ads attention-grabbing and effective, but wealthy and powerful members of the association viewed the ads with disdain, deriding Petty as looking like a strung-out malnourished Lesbian, not the image they wanted to associate with their sport. The Petty ads were quickly dropped in favor of ads featuring Rip Torn.
