While discussing frozen faced, very bad actresses, I submitted “That thrall chick with the boobs and the boots that Kirk makes out with in the episode with the betting muffins”. Surprisingly, no one knew to whom I was referring (do you?), so I had to turn to the internet for more details.

Her name was [Anelique Pettyjohn](http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/character/bio/1114825.html), and she played Shahna in [The Gameplayers of Triskelion](http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-633/epid-13720/) on the original Star Trek.

Well, I found out that, in addition to being in a movie with Elvis, she went onto work in hardcore porn. Maybe I shouldn’t have been, but I was a bit surprised to find out that Shahna went on to do porn. Which got me thinking, what other actors/actresses have done porn? I also wondered if there was any truth to the legend that Sly Stallone did porn?

Well, when I find myself with a question that needs answering, especially about porn, the first thing I think of is the Dope. So help me out!

The one that really threw me was Paul Toubus/Thomas. He was Peter in Jesus Christ Superstar, and has had a thriving career as a porn actor and director (by “thriving” I mean he’s been in, according to imdb, over FOUR HUNDRED “adult” movies!)

The most major name not mentioned on rame is [Kristen DeBell](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0213374/).

Her first film was _Alice in Wonderland_, a muscial comedy version that was released in both R and X-rated versions. That’s lots more music than sex in the X-rated one, but Kristen, who plays Alice, does several short but unquestionably hardcore scenes.

Because she looked more like a Disney heroine than a porn star, she went on to a regular acting career for almost a decade until the hardcore version got rereleased. That effectively killed her career, even though she had never so much as done a topless scene afterward.

[Kristine DeBell](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0213374/) was a minor actress back in the late seventies and early eighties. Her first movie, _Alice in Wonderland_, was x-rated and featured DeBell performing sex on camera.

Sylvester Stallone was in the movie [\*A Party At Kitty and Stud’s](http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/stallone.htm)\* (aka _The Italian Stallion_). According to the [IMDB](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0065904/combined), it is available on DVD from Amazon.

I have not seen this film.

The only “actor” I can remember, that hasn’t been mentioned is [Simon Rex](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005350/), who was a regular on a couple of WB series, after he had done some solo gay porn work.

She’s got a tv show, she’s been a guest on _Veronica Mars._ The OP wasn’t asking for _good_ actors/actresses.

So, include Ron Jeremy, I guess. He was on that reality show with Eric Astrada and Tammy Faye Baker.

I’m looking forward to seeing her tortured and murdered in **House of Wax**.  
I suppose your question still stands, though…

It also depends on your definition of ‘porn’. Does any hardcore sex act count, even if the movie was ‘mainstream’? If so, then two others can be added to the list: [Marushka Detmers](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0221903/bio) performs oral sex on camera in [Devil the Flesh](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090944/), and [Caroline Ducey](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0239764/) apparently performs a number of acts in [Romance](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0194314/), an art-house French movie also starring porn star Rocci Siffredi.
