Umm, uh...wait justa minute here, that list is waaay too long. This is porn after all. The same business who went apeshit in the early '90s when Ashlyn Gere landed a 30-second spot in some movie. Then yawned when their disowned stepwhore Traci Lords landed on Melrose Place. Well, I guess it's something to be able to [blatant cynicism] act [/blatant cynicism] like a sex-crazed whore.

Wasn't there some male actor from the 1970s who went on to a 10-year mainstream career until his porn past was outed, and his SAG card revoked.



That has never happened. Wade Nichols started out in porn during the 70s and then got on a soap opera called 'The Edge of Night'. He killed himself in 1985, supposedly because he had HIV. Sonny Landham started out in 70s porn and later made the jump into mainstream films, most notably 'Predator' with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think they were able to get away with breaking into mainstream because their 70s porn movies were not on VHS yet. Very, very few people would have recognized Sonny or Wade as 'that guy from that porno movie'.
