[QUOTE=riker1384] I don’t think many people look THAT much like other people, such that they’d be worthwile as a lookalike in pornography. On the other hand, if Leelee Sobieski’s mainstream career falters, she could always start a second career. What name to use, what name to use…Helen…??? [/QUOTE] As Don Logan has also pointed out, it could well be that the real issue is that while the set of people who will do hardcore is fairly large, the set of people who closely resemble celebrities is much smaller, and the congruence of those sets is vanishingly small. What got me started on this idea was seeing a fitness model who does bondage stuff named [Shannon Kelly](http://www.bondagerotica.com/extras/shannonkellyface2go.jpg) and I was watching one of her videos I kept asking, "Is that [Kathy Griffin?](http://www.kathygriffin.net/). They are not really exact lookalikes, but there’s a lot of similarity. (Note: links are head shots only, hence worksafe. For more pics of Shannon Kelly, you can do a Google Image search or go to www shannon\_kelly com (replace spaces with periods.) ---

There’s a reasonably well-known porn actress who’s gotten quite a lot of mileage out of being a pretty close Christina Aguilera lookalike, although I’m not so sure how much benefit that would be since Ms. Aguilera hasn’t done anything of note lately… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-legal-reason-there-are-no-celeb-porn-lookalikes/360002.md?page=1)
