Traci Lords
Traci Lords had a somewhat unconventional introduction into the mainstream center stage of film and television, as she actually began her rise to fame in the adult film industry, however, the FBI received an anonymous tip that she was underage while performing in those films. This resulted in the ruling that all such material, except her final adult film, was de facto illegal to distribute or view, as well as the prosecution of those responsible for creating and distributing the films. Not long after, and only two days after turning 18, Lords decided to study method acting to become a mainstream actress, and not long after she landed a leading role in Not of this Earth in 1988. Lords still acts today as well as sings professionally, and has received many awards and recognition for her work.
