Name That Fictional Whore

Two more hints for some of the more obscure ones:

Coco, Denise & Simone (hint: Coco was also Chris Gaines)

(Madame) Hortense: the actress who played her won an Oscar for the role (though wasn’t famous) and later reprised the role in 1980s B’way musical strarring Anthony Quinn)

Iris Steensma was Jodie Foster’s character in Taxi Driver

You know Iris, Sport. Suck on this.

You’re right. My apologies to Philadelphia and it’s fine commodity trading whore community.

WAG: Zsa Zsa in the 1952 Moulin Rouge?

Hey! I got whores nobody’s guessin’ at!

Lorena Wood and Elmira Johnson

Stevie

Belinda Keaton

The black sheep of the family on Family Ties?

Dingdingdingdingding— you win a stuffed giraffe!

Yep, she played the prostitute/love interest of Toulouse Lautrec (Jose Ferrer [who played the role on his knees and in a manner that’ll make you loathe John Leguizamo]).

John Leguizamo makes me loathe John Leguizamo. Sorry.

We have a winner ! ( and I love that series )

I am proud, proud I tell you, that my “Name That!” threads are starting to spawn imitators such as this one. :slight_smile:

Irene Pappas in Zorba the Greek.

Shelley Long in Night Shift.

The “old French whore” skit from Saturday Night Live?

Chris Gaines, ISTR, was a fictional persona of Garth Brooks, but I’m not a Brooks fan and I can’t imagine when/why he would have posed as a female prostitute named Coco.

Shelly Long is correct, from Night Shift. (Best line of the movie: “Feed mayonaise to tuna. Cut out the middle man!”

Hints for my others:

Lorena Wood and Elmira Johnson – theirs was a dusty existence

Stevie – her man was a shadow of his former self.

All right, other than for Mme. Hortense, btw.

I liked Michael Keaton’s diagram of prostitute. ‘PRO’ because we’re for it, and ‘TIT’ because that’s self explanatory, and the rest of the stuff doesn’t mean anything.’

Brooks played an aging French prostitute on a Saturday Night Live gameshow parody called OLD FRENCH WHORE. Three young contestants were teamed with old French whores to answer Jeopardy style questions; the other two old French whores were skanky and drugged, but Coco was refined, intelligent, and had once been the personal concubine of General Rommel. (Best line of the sketch was when a player not teamed with Brooks/Coco remarked “I think my whore’s dead…”).

I might throw in:

Sadie Thompson

Irene Pappas in Zorba the Greek.

Right river, wrong canoe.

Louisa “Lou” Dem Five. Hint-she’s bald, & is the owner of The Velvet Fist.
