Courtney Act

They say that nine tenths of a woman’s charm is illusion. Courtney Act is living proof. She has the ability to bring women to their feet and men to their knees, but she’s not like other girls… In fact the American government calls her an Alien Of Extraordinary Ability, Bette Midler has described her as a “sensation” and Chita Rivera says “Immense recognition is on the way”.
