Marilyn Monroe did a “stag” film in 1948, in between real movie roles (well… After her first film, where her part was cut short and before she got famous)
Seriously. I found a copy of it years ago.
I do remember that an actor from “A Christmas Story”, the kid who got his tongue stuck to the pole actually went on to do other things with poles…
The “Marilyn Monroe” stag movie is bogus — not her, but one of many look-alikes from the 1950s.
I’ve seen ads for the video, but googling turns up nothing, and I don’t know where my “Salute to Star Trek” copy of Entertainment Weekly is that mentions the film, but this description of her autobiography makes mention of her decline into “drugs and sex.” IIRC, it was softcore.
Adam West was in Lady Chatterly’s Lover II after he appeared in the Batman TV series as I recall.
Actually, most of the things that featured a naked Marilyn were fake. (The most famous being the “Apple and the Coke”)
This one is generally believed to be real. The FBI mentioned it in their investigation of her death. Joe DiMaggio offered the owner of it $25,000 for what was at that time the only copy in existence.
If you want to include people who were in porn films but not actually having sex, Caligula had a huge collection of A-listers in it, including Sir John Gielgud and Malcolm McDowell. Rip Torn appeared in a porn movie in the 1980’s, but in a straight role with no sex or nudity.
Grace Lee Whitney had a number of problems in her life (including alcoholism, drug addiction, and rape) but as far as I can tell she never appeared in an x-rated movie. I think you might have confused her with Angelique Pettijohn, an actress who guest starred in a Star Trek episode and later went on to make x-rated movies.
For the record, she was the most annoying porn actress who ever existed. Every scene she was in was a totally insincere display of decibal-bursting orgasmic screaming. Her schtick could not have fooled the n00best of porn n00bs.
Stephen Geoffreys,the weird kid from Fright Night,does gay porn under the name Sam Ritter
Didn’t Alyssa Milano do a bunch of softcore between “Who’s the Boss?” and “Charmed?”
If there had EVER been a mainstream A level TV/movie actress who subsequently did XXX, her name, and images, would be all over the Internets. That’s how you can be sure there hasn’t been one.
That said, there have been some A movie actresses who have done some hardcore stuff in independent films. Chloe Sevigny in “The Brown Bunny” comes to mind. But this still wasn’t a porn film, however willing some people (people on this board, in fact) are to categorize any movie that has sexual content as porn.
There is also an awful lot of ‘churn’ between porn models/actresses and B movie horror and erotic thrillers.
The closest I can think of to the OP’s scenario is Lysette Anthony, who was the Princess in Krull and who would up doing some erotic thrillers that included nudity and sex scenes. I don’t mind … those eyes of her are incredible, I’ll watch them in any format.
I don’t know about a “bunch” but she was in “Embrace of the Vampire” which featured her naked on a bed having sex with a male vampire, and later with the male vampire and his two female vampires/lovers.
Milano has a WONDERFUL body and an awesome rack, I might add. And do add.
Yeah, Shatner, in his ‘Memories’ series of books mentions she’d ended up as a prostitute for a while after her career collapsed due to drugs and alcoholism. He doesn’t mention any porn movies, though.
which reminds me of FRIGHT NIGHT’s Stephen “Evil Ed” Geoffreys.
Never heard of Pettijohn and the cover of the video had “Yeoman Rand” on it. Googling turns up paysites that claim to have nude images of her, but I’m not coughing up the cash to find out if they do or not.
These says, with 500+ cable networks, most producing at least some original content, many washed up actors make good livings doing shows most of the country has never heard of. Jo from Facts of Life has made a series of TV movies and shows that are unknown to most of the country. Definitley a cute hot chick can get hired to do something legitimate, even if she got blackballed by Hollywood. And even then, independent filmmakers would use her. Robert Downey, though a far superior actor, continued to find work during his drug relapses.
And the third: a past-her-prime star posing for Playboy (e.g. Shannen Doherty, Tiffany), which counts as “doing porn” if you have a really inclusive definition (especially long enough ago when harder porn wasn’t quite so easily obtainable).
Wow. I wouldn’t consider Angelique Pettyjohn a ‘high-profile’ actress (unless she’s lying down!), but in googling I found a site that has images of her hardcore stuff. www-dot-robbscelebs-dot-co-uk/noops246_18/noops_angelique_pettyjohn.html
Incidentally she died of cancer in 1992 at the age of 46.
Can you tell us what were some of the titles to the flicks they had you watch. And, too, did they bring any stars in to discuss the subject?
