She starred with Ellen Burstyn in Hanna's
War and starred opposite
Antonio Banderas and Armand Assante in The Mambo Kings and in Bellocchio's
highly acclaimed Devil in the Flesh which was very controversial

performing unsimulated oral sex on screen. Maruschka Detmers later
expressed some regret at the scene because she said it overshadowed her
other accomplishments. Here is a preview of the scene digitally
re-mastered from the original negative.
