Traci Lords: Ginger Lynn "a Bitch on Wheels"


With nary a mention of Ruby Gottesman, the guy who took the fall in her underage scandal; and with a flip off-handed remark about Tom Byron, the man who presumably dated her, Traci Lords' autobiography "Underneath it All" gives you just enough reason to run for an old videotape of E! The Hollywood Story. And you'll discover that E! did a far better job of chronicling Lords' rise and fall in the porn industry. For whatever, in a series of sketchy recollections, Lords chooses to bag on Ginger Lynn. About Byron, Lords has this to say in tossed salad style: "Dicks like Tom Byron bragged about how we were offscreen lovers." Small wonder, because the Lords book writes itself a happy ending with Traci's marriage last year and you can't have a vast warehouse of recollections about a former beau. Aside from that, digest this Ginger Lynn tidbit:

"I was pissed off and disgusted by the thought of the upcoming lesbian scene I was supposed to have with this bitch on wheels. The thought of kissing her grossed me out, but I guess it's better than having to fuck a fleshy hairball like Ron Jeremy.....I was dried off, put back into makeup, and met with the smirking face of Ginger Lynn, the petite blond-haired blue-eyed twenty-something-year-old-woman who had been the reigning diva of porn for the past year. She'd given me attitude from the moment I'd met her a few months earlier, clearly seeing me as competition. And she was right. Within months my tormented, aggressive sex acts and youthful good looks stole her flavor-of-the-moment title, and she made sure I knew she didn't appreciate it one bit."
