[QUOTE=OpalCat] Eccentrica Gallumbits, the Triple-Breasted Whore of Eroticon Six [/QUOTE] Some people say her erogenous zones start three miles from her actual body - me, I say five. ---

In the world of comic books, Mantis and (briefly) Catwoman. Um, how exactly did Betty Boop make her living? That always seemed a little sketchy. ---

[QUOTE=Chronos] Well, if we’re going to go all Shakespearean, what about Mistress Quickly? [/QUOTE] She ran the tavern; I don’t recall how much of a hands-on manager she was. Hard to forget Carol Kane in _The Last Detail_. Actually I don’t remember the character’s name, but she had two great scenes with Randy Quaid, in probably one of the most depressingly realistic brothels in moviedom. ---

[QUOTE=Freudian Slit] Didn’t Carmen sometimes sleep with men for money? not necessarily all the time, but when she needed it? [/QUOTE] I always got the impression that she was just a slut. On that note, if courtesans count, Violetta from _La Traviata_. ---

[QUOTE=RealityChuck] If men are allowed, there’s Joe Buck. [/QUOTE] Jon Voight’s finest hour, no doubt. Now he is literally a prostitute, taking on films like Karate Dog, Baby Geniuses and National Treasure out of…what? Financial need? Is he that greedy? Did he make some bad investments? Gambling debts? Is he becoming senile? ---

Violet (Brooke Shields) in **Pretty Baby** Of course there are plenty of prostitutes in that film, but I think she’s likely the most remembered.
