[QUOTE=Argent Towers] Are there any female celebrities who actually have done porn after enjoying a brief career as a sex symbol, then became “washed up” and acquired a reputation as a hard partier? [/QUOTE] The person that came to mind when I read the original post doesn’t quite fit; but, is close! Remember [Kristy McNichol](http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2244708570033416538swHFMt)? Back in the day she was pretty popular. I don’t know if she was actually ever considered a SEX symbol; but, I knew lots of guys who had her posters back in middle school. Well, you can imagine my surprise when I rented [**Two Moon Junction**](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096324/maindetails) by Zalman King and saw not only Kristy McNichol in it; but, Burl Ives as well. :smack: Please don’t ask me why I rented it?? I’m not exactly a porn aficionado; but, it definately falls in the realm of softcore. I never knew that she was on the cover of Playgirl. Apparently, she was though back in July of 1986. I was still a fairly good girl back then, so I missed it! :eek: It’s so amazing what you can learn when you lurk around here…but, even more so what you learn when you post and have to back everything up!! I discovered that Kristy McNichol was supposedly the last female to appear on the cover of Playgirl. ---

78lighthead, one of the rules of the board is they prefer people to start new threads on a topic rather than revive an old one like this. So this thread is probably going to get locked down. ---

I don’t think that rule necessarily applies to questions that have factual answers. ---

**78lighthead** , welcome to the SDMB. As **Little Nemo** has said, we prefer that people don’t revive long-inactive threads, which we call zombies. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic if you would like. In the meantime, pls. swing by ATMB (About This Message Board) which has a lot of info on the rules, guidelines, and etiquette of the SDMB, which will help you get your feet under you here. Again, welcome! **twickster** , Cafe Society moderator [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-any-washed-up-high-profile-female-celebs-actually-gone-on-to-do-porn/405735.md?page=4)
