Christina Walsh is a sweet, Irish lass from The Bronx.
Capri Anderson is a smokin' hot porn star who loves to get nasty with lesbian lovers on California video sets.
Walsh and Anderson lead extremely different lives -- but they're the same person.
Walsh/Anderson was exposed Wednesday night as the 22-year-old mystery woman whose alleged sex-for-money tryst with actor Charlie Sheen sparked his coke-fueled rampage at The Plaza hotel that sent her fleeing -- naked and cowering -- into the bathroom.
Yesterday, Bronx neighbors of her family described a pretty, charming young lady who's the apple of her elderly dad's eye -- even as porn directors regaled The Post with stories about her eagerness in licking chocolate off another woman's feet for a fetish video in which she appeared.
"She kept to herself" growing up, said a neighbor of her dad, Paul Walsh, who lives in the Norwood section.
"I thought she was one of those conservative types. I didn't know that she was into porno."
Christina Walsh's transformation from daddy's little girl into a naughty porn princess is in some ways an American success story, albeit one rated XXX.
Paul Walsh, 74, emigrated from Cork, Ireland, in his teens.
He married, got work as a Park Avenue doorman and eventually had four gorgeous daughters, of whom Christina was the youngest. Paul, who later divorced, also has since built up a dog-breeding business called Yorkies and More out of his home.
Christina left home at age 16 or 17 to head to California, according to neighbors.
Out west, she quickly shed her good-girl image and began working in the porn industry under names including Capri Anderson and Alexis Capri.
"Capri was always extremely professional," said Kay Brandt, a director/writer for the porn production company Digital Playground, who worked with her on several videos. "Sweet, warm, funny, intelligent, sensitive. I couldn't say enough about her."
Capri also delivered on screen, in videos with titles including "Lesbian Legal Volume 8," "The Mother Daughter Exchange Club Vol. 12," and a flick that Anderson wrote and directed last year, "Women Seeking Women Volume 59."
But off-camera, her life was clearly troubled.
"When I was working with her, she had a boyfriend who would come to the set with her. She did show up once extremely upset, and we had to cancel because she said he had beaten her," Brandt said.
Another director, who would only give his name as Flowers, praised Anderson's performance in the video "Foot Fetish Daily Vol. 1" -- which featured Anderson and another woman licking chocolate pudding off each other's feet before getting even dirtier with sex toys.
"She was a pleasure," Flowers said. "She was very playful and fun and down-to-earth.
"A lot of girls tend to have boring personas and appear half-dead -- but she was intelligent and fun."
In online postings, Walsh/Anderson kept her dual lives segregated -- for the most part.
In family photos on Facebook, Christina Walsh shyly smiles and is dressed modestly as she poses with her siblings.
But on her for-pay porn sites, which tout her several screen personas, she is anything but shy, posing buck-naked in a variety of steamy poses with other women and staring sexily at the camera.
On those pages, as well as her Twitter and MySpace pages, Capri Anderson talks about getting high, bedding other screen vixens and loving her work as a porn star.
But on several occasions, she gives her porn fans a glimpse of her family life.
In a Fourth of July response to someone who criticized her, she lashed out online: "I've been to the Middle East and to England, Ireland, Spain, the DR and many other places -- My parents came to this country with nothing, and today I reserve the right to a career that allows me enough wages to take care of myself and not rely on my 74-year-old father who works three jobs to support our family. You're IGNORANT."
Also in July, after getting a dog from her dad, she posted a Twit-pic of herself with the pooch.
"Hey everybody if you want a Yorkie like me, you can go to Yorkiesandmore.net or contact Paul @ [phone number]. I got him in NYC!" Walsh/Anderson tweeted, without revealing that Paul was her father.
Her father yesterday refused to comment and scowled when a Post reporter tried to speak with him.
But her older sister Fiona Walsh said she has spoken to the video vixen since the incident with Sheen.
"She's doing fine, she's OK," Fiona said.
Neighbors said Walsh/Anderson returned to New York a month or so ago and moved to Brooklyn.
Her dad helped her find a two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn "that was reasonably priced," said a neighbor.
But now "he's heartbroken" to learn about her career and her role in the Sheen scandal," a family friend said.
"He's a good father, and his kids come first. So this probably destroyed him. She was his youngest."
