Yup. While she was never a parenial favorite of mine, I have looked at her available online photos and clips online at the FlashVideo quality places. I honestly always thought her tits were a bit arkward. Just don't like those big areolas myself. However, I did catch her E! True Hollywood Story in the early '00s. Guess they're oddly legal now, in some form or another, or sites would be shut down for hosting them. Who knows or bothers much these days?

And it was one of the better ones (the E! show that is) if I do say so myself (for some reason they never run the better crop of them these days, which was pretty much all I liked about E!, outside of Howard Stern's old show on there for years). And like many, I did get the fact that the adult film industry was over all pretty mad at her and will never forgive her, since so much back catalog still-available-to-order product had to be destroyed. Not to mention and so many big names in the industry (like Peter North and others who worked with her while she was under aged) had to go in front of the U.S. Congress to testify. Pretty serious shit.

Tom Byron made mention of giving her some expensive flowers on a birthday of her's, when she was like truely really seven or so years younger, and Ron Jeremy talked about knocking on her apartment door somewhere in West Hollywood, but she didn't come to the door or wasn't home. She supposedly did a Tiger Woods and was a recluse for months on end until about a two year mark hit, and she was cast in John Waters Cry-Baby. But she most definately made A LOT of enemies, for anyone who paid attention to that Truely Hollywood Story. Nina Hartley also made mention of one of the reasons she genuineally appeared much older by nearly eight or so years was because of her make-up once it was applied, and how more mature she tended to carry herself. As well as the fact that: "She made love like a woman ... NOT a young inexperieanced girl" to that effect.

She was also very breifly a industrial/techo musician. The first Mortal Kombat soundtrack has an instrumental version of a half-way decent techno song she did (I only heard it with lyrics on a Real Sex episode). I know cause I used to own it on CD (was oddly enough one of the first CDs I ever purchased; yeah I was one of those who held onto cassettes pretty late in the game). It was decent for it's genre, but nothing at all I would listen to regularly. But I'm not all that into any music myself personally, so I'm not the best person to ask. Just download for yourself and decide on her few tracks.

But what I feel REALLY burned a lot of them on top of the lying and everything else, and with how much money it royally fucked them over, was that she only did like four (yes, NOT just one) movies while of legal age, all shot abroad in Europe. And she had some special as a co-producer credit on one to get the back end royalities deal on her final finished film reguardless. So that most definately sealed her fate. And during her mostly terrible Jim Wynorski b-movies and direct-to-cable and VHS tape quickies, she mostly doesn't talk about her adult film world past. By the time she was guest starring on Highlander: The Series and Melrose Place, she wasn't fielding past porn films questions. So I highly doubt the industry and her will ever make up, or that she'll wanna go back to it now as some sort of bullshit marketed as a "MILF" thing.

By the way, random trivia bit: She was also an opening vampire victim in the first very good Blade movie. Damn awesome opening to that, too.

Her techno album actually isn´t that bad, it sure is a whole lot better than all the pop-techno that were on the charts in the mid 90´s. She also sang backup on some songs on Ramones "Acid Eaters" album and on the Manic Street Preachers song "Little Baby Nothing".

She is indeed a very interesting (and still quite young) lady. Her entire story is well worth looking up. But you'll find very little stories about her recollecting and recalling. She has VERY rarely talked about it in the interviews she's granted. She's just a rather private person for a b-film actress and once very infamous adult film star. But I'm glad I helped out some. Enjoy any & allfact-checked info on her that you look up.

Yeah. And like I said, I've listened to some tracks. It's decent for it's mi '90s genre & other various sub-genres. It's listenable and at least two tracks like the Mortal Kombat used one, you might wanna listen to at least one more time. It's just nothing timeless or a seminal classic right now at this time. But I did at least feel it was a mountain of a unique move and a lot better then a lot of other adult film stars who have tried to pick up the mic and to hit a studio's sound mixing board after they hot young cuties but down the tits, muff and cocks.
 
Okay but that's a crazy story. Where can I find it on the web?

Here's some of it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traci_Lords

I know she wrote a book or two, they might still be in print.

No one was prosecuted because the same lent "borrowed" ID she showed people in the industry, the Federal Govt gave her a passport with.

All the 2257 stuff and whether a production was made before or after a date in '95 was enacted due to Traci.
 
What was up with the pedo bear link? What is wrong with stuff Traci did as far as photos go? I am an artist and have drawn Traci lot's of times and Traci even autographed a few of them for me plus she has one of my drawings at her house. She said I made her look like a legit model. Nobody took advantage of Traci Lords. I guess people are just jelous of her. She was dam good looking when she first got started. Now I am not into kids and I think pedophilia is WRONG but Traci was differnt.

The point is, she lied to get into the business, then when she was found out she ratted out a lot of stars in the business, including Peter North, Ron Jeremy, and Christy Canyon. Then she blamed drugs, peer pressure and extortion for her problems. She lied from the start and never stopped lying.
