> [@Push You Down](#): > > Wait… are we talking Hardcore as PORN? > > I thought you meant full nudity and sex scenes in mainstream movies. I meant hardcore imagery as seen in porn, for a non-porn film. I can’t see any actress who’s got it going on in any respect, career-wise, going to porn, because that’s likely to be a one-way trip. But ever since Jennifer Connelly won the Oscar AFTER doing a nude lesbian double dildo scene in that horrible druggie movie, it’s obvious you can do some pretty risky stuff in mainstream and still win the Oscar (thus being considered an A-list, mainstream actress). ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Tara Reid. Y’know, she’s an excellent candidate. She’s been in some A-list films, so she knows what it’s like to be at the top, and she’s currently hosting some kind of series about what a party girl she is on the E Network, so she knows what it’s like to be at or at least near the bottom. Offer her a meaty role in a well-backed film where she goes hardcore, I don’t think she’d even blink. If her career continues to skid, look for a Pamela Anderson/Tommy Lee Jones type tape to surface. ---

What’s happened to Chloe Sevigny’s career since her “Brown Bunny” performance? Y’know per twickster’s note Tara Reid is not a bad guess. There seems to be almost nothing she won’t do the stay in the limelight. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > I think she kept the secret at the request of most black Americans. Hmm? You don’t think that at a racial draft pick (ala _Chapelle’s Show_) the black community wouldn’t leap at the chance to claim Carol Channing as one of their own. Huh. And here I was under the impression that African-Americans loved brassy old Broadway divas. ---

> [@astro](#): > > What’s happened to Chloe Sevigny’s career since her “Brown Bunny” performance? According to the IMDB, she’s been in eight films since Brown Bunny (a 2003 release) all of them with well-known stars, so she hasn’t dropped off the map. Her agency, William Morris, dropped her after Brown Bunny, so I don’t know what she might have been lined up to do before this, but she always did seem to be an indy-odd film kinda actress. Kirsten Dunst was originally slated to play Sevigny’s role in Brown Bunny, but she dropped out the day before filming was due to start. Guess she finally got around to reading the script! ---

Melanie Griffith – in fact, she may have crossed that line back in '84. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086984/](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086984/) I **wish** I could realistically add Kirsten Dunst to this list, but I’m not optimistic. ☹ ---

Kate Winslet. Is there a movie her breasts _haven’t_ starred in? (Not that I’m complaining - although I think she got way too skinny at some point.) 'Sides, anyone who’d play a scene bare naked while peeing on herself while Harvey Keitel wears her dress is not going to balk at a little nasty rubbins - heck, she’d probably film a penetration scene \*with \*Harvey Keitel in a Merchant Ivory film! Excuse me, I have to go bleach my brain. ---

[hijack] Other than Sevigny and Kerry Fox, has there BEEN any other performance in mainstream movies of unsimulated sexual acts? [/hijack] ---
