Happy Birthday Traci Lords
Can you believe she's 36 years old today. I still remember when the world found out she did all those adult films underage

11. That was so well orchestrated by her
She produced that last film, which she makes all the profits off of that film (I saw this on E! True Hollywood Story). After that film came out she announced she was underaged for all the rest. So now the only way you can legally own a Traci Lords Adult Film is the one film she would make any decent money off of. The rest could get you jail time and a sex offender title to boot

20. I just read her autobiography,
"Underneath it All," and the way she tells it, nothing was orchestrated. She never voluntarily announced anything. The way she tells it, one night, the FBI busted into her apartment with guns drawn and dragged her out half naked. She was terrified and later humiliated at the police station. They already had the videos and informed her they had been doing a hush-hush investigation on her for 3 years prior to that...so according to her, it was the FBI, not her, that finally blew the lid off things.

After reading the book, I see her as a damaged, goodhearted woman who endured a very fucked up childhood and adolescence and made many mistakes out of desperation...mistakes that continue to haunt her. She was raped at 11 and later sexually abused by her stepfather, who also guided her into the porn industry. She describes him driving her at age 15 to nude photo shoots where he got much sick pleasure out of watching said shoots. It only got worse from there.

Anyway, I'd highly recommend the book for anyone interested in hearing her side of the story.

(No flames here by the way...I just wanted to share her side of the story in addition to wishing her a Happy Birthday!) :party:

16. I saw her...
...about a month ago in my local grocery store. (I live in LA, so celebrity sightings are not uncommon)

Unlike a lot of clebs, Traci looks even hotter in person...

17. Vanessa Williams is happy
Edited on Fri May-07-04 02:04 PM by WoodrowFan
The nude pics in Penthouse of the then Miss American happened to appear in the same issue in which the under-aged Traci Lords appeared as the centerfold. Since you can't buy the issue now cause of Traci, it also means you can't get the pics of Vanessa. THAT was lucky.


(ok, I was in grad school then and I read the issue)

19. We bought that issue in College
I'm not one to read penthouse, but some of us in my sorority bought that penthouse to see what the big deal is all about. I think we tossed it away by the end of the school year.
