In The Girlfriend Experience Riley Keough plays a high-flying law student who has landed a coveted internship at a prestigious law firm.
But out of work the 26-year-old's character Christine Reade is also a call girl - paying for her studies by offering male clients something termed The Girlfriend Experience.
And in graphic scenes on Sunday night's premiere of the Starz series, actress Riley - the granddaughter of Elvis Presley - was seen having her first paid-for sexual encounter, after being tempted into prostitution by an envelope stuffed with $100 bills.
Stills from the episode show her lying fully naked on a bed, her clothes strewn on the floor beside her.

In her biggest role yet, Riley, the daughter of singer Lisa Marie Presley and musician Danny Keough, plays a second-year law student at the fictional Chicago-Burnham Law School in the show.
She charges clients $1,000 an hour with a two hour minimum, offering a package which along with physical intimacy includes talking, listening and emotional support - the girlfriend experience of the show's name.
On Sunday night's show Riley's character was seen first being recruited into sex work by a prostitute friend, as they chat to men in a bar.
While at first she had no interest in the idea, she was won over by the idea of the cash involved.

Talking about her role to Wmagazine.com, Mad Max Fury Road star Riley, who is newly married to Australian stuntman, Ben Smith-Petersen, said she did not have much in common with her character.
'[Casual sex] is not something I can relate to at all,' Riley explained.
