Or, to be more accurate, Jeanne Cooper is set to play the role of a former porn star.

The Emmy-winning actress from The Young and the Restless recently wrapped production on the comedic feature film Donna on Demand. The film stars Cooper son, Corbin Bernsen, along with co-star Adrienne Frantz in the title role.

"I play an old porn queen who was in a car accident, so now she directs and produces computer porn on demand," Cooper says. "I thoroughly enjoyed it. The language is just hysterical!"

No release date for Donna on Demand has been announced yet.

Jeanne Cooper is still on a high after winning her first Emmy Award earlier this year. How do we know? A reliable source recently went on record with an update.

"I don't think she's going to come down, ever," said her son, actor Corbin Bernsen.

After 35 years on The Young and the Restless and nine daytime Emmy nominations, Cooper is taking it all in stride... while still reacting with shock over the news.

"She's one of these people — it means something, but it doesn't, really," Bernsen said. "She does it all for the thrill, for you guys, for the fans. That's how she is... She was actually truly, truly shocked, and it was a great night."

Following her Best Actress win at last week's Daytime Emmy Awards, Jeanne Cooper spoke to Canda's The North Bay Nugget about the success of The Young and the Restless:

"It's basically taking people away from their credit card debts and the question of who is going to be president and just giving them an hour when their mind can go somewhere else," said Cooper. "I remember being on a plane one time, and the flight attendant leaned down and said very quietly, 'I do not believe for a minute that you killed your husband.'  I could almost see the ears go up on the woman sitting next to me"

Such is the life of a star - an Emmy-winning star! - on The Young and the Restless.
