Flesh Forward: When Pornstars Go Mainstream
Happy birthday, Traci Lords! The onetime porn legend and literal jailbait turns 42 today, and is notable not only for breaking into porn at the ripe old age of 15, but for actually managing to fashion herself quite a career outside of the adult entertainment industry. Arguably the first crossover pornstar, Traci served notice to her colleagues that there was money to be made beyond the whole penetration-on-camera thing. So to honor her trailblazing ways, we salute her, as well as these 10 other pornstars who have gone mainstream. Female pornstars, that is; don't anyone really need to see another picture of Ron Jeremy?
