Need Help with a list of Actresses that started in erotic biz.

sylvester stallone, marky mark and dirt nasty.

Traci Lords - performed in a bunch of porn when underage. Did one when legal, went on to have a mainstream film career and released some music.

She is damn sexy!

Nothing to squash -- cause they're right.

Oh sure, an ex-porn girl can get gigs as the dead hooker on CSI, or the bad girl in a B movie. But they all end up cast as hookers...or dead hookers.

Just ask Sasha Gray.

I once told my very good friend Kayden Kross that if she got a role in mainstream where she played a hooker, a stripper or a porn chick that it wasn't acting, it was type casting.

She called me a few months ago delighted to tell me about a gig she got as the female lead opposite Dolf Lundgren and she immediately said that it wasn't a stripper, hooker or a porn chick....she was proud of herself LOL

As for really successful crossovers that are/were female there really arent any, Marilyn Chambers did ok I guess...

As for Male there is only one who did hardcore (stallone didn't) AND made it pretty big in mainstream, that'd be Sonny Landham, and he didn't even change his name when he crossed over.

Well like i was saying cameron diaz started in erotic/ adult, and i know about sylvester stallon, but i know other girls have been getting roles on tv, if its in shows, or in movies. might not be big parts in most cases, but i am sure if they actually put some effort in to learning to really act they would be able to do a cross over like tracy lords. tracy was in blade 2 and Cry Baby with johnny depp, and a bunch of other movies. Arnold use to make money posing nude for gay mag's/ porn.

But in modern days there are movies like "the girl next door" where there were a few adult models in it, and seth and mary make a porno (or whatever it was called)

All in all I think in modern times adult models have a better chance at getting in mainstream than years ago.

One last note on sasha grey. Of course its going to be harder for someone that does hardcore to get in to mainstream than someone that only went as far as solo shoots/ fetish/ and playboy/ penthouse style productions.

Models like bobbi billard has done a lot of mainstream stuff, and many lynn made it in a few mainstream things, along with a lot of girls that were in playboy.

Who is this girl? is she someone that went from erotic to mainstream? if so who is she?
