– A key update noted that Kay Parker was a British-born actress (originally from Birmingham, England) who converted to Mormonism later in life and regretted some aspects of her adult career, though she defended Taboo as a "legitimate drama."
Directed by Kirdy Stevens and written by Helene Terrie, "Taboo" begins in the suburban home of Barbara Scott (Kay Parker). The film opens with a scene of marital discord: Barbara is performing oral sex on her husband, Chris, but the lights are off. Frustrated by her lack of enthusiasm and what he perceives as her frigidity, Chris packs his bags and leaves, blaming Barbara for the failure of their marriage. Abruptly alone and without a source of income, Barbara is left to care for their high school-aged son, Paul (Mike Ranger).
