Eccentrica Gallumbits, the Triple-Breasted Whore of Eroticon Six
Some people say her erogenous zones start three miles from her actual body - me, I say five.
If men are allowed, there’s Joe Buck.
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.
Well, if we’re going to go all Shakespearean, what about Mistress Quickly?
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.
I always got the impression that she was just a slut.
On that note, if courtesans count, Violetta from La Traviata.
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?
Sonia Marmeladov in Crime and Punishment, doing the whore with the heart of gold turn.
You guys took most of the good ones I could think of.
Lulu in Pandora’s Box
Joanne Follett from Omaha, the Cat Dancer
Pam and Doris in Without Remorse
Dawn in Streets
Violet Bick, who “liked all the boys” even as a little girl, from It’s a Wonderful Life.
Kate, the eeeeeeeeeeeeevil young prostitute (later a madam) from East of Eden.
Tralala in Last Exit To Brooklyn
Elizabeth Taylor’s character in Butterfield 8, and Rita Moreno’s in Carnal Knowledge
Oh, and Elizabeth in the comic strip “For Better or For Worse”. I know what’s going on. That girl a freak-ho.
Pris in Blade Runner.
Gigolo Joe in A.I.
Simone from the Bob Hoskins film Mona Lisa
Mona’s mother in Tales of the City
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.
