From Porn To Mainstream: Can Jenna Pull It Off?

Ginger Lynn Allen and Sid Haig in The Devil's Rejects
Ginger Lynn Allen and Sid Haig in The Devil's Rejects

GINGER LYNN ALLEN

An of-age contemporary of Lords (she's seven years older), Lynn costarred with Traci in a number of porn flicks and they performed together in a number of sex scenes; by Lords' account, they hated each other's guts the whole time. In 1986, Lynn too announced her retirement from porn and gave mainstream a try, using full name Ginger Lynn Allen. But while she was a game and sometimes convincing actress — her work in 1992's Bound and Gagged: A Love Story is about the only tolerable thing in the film — she became more known for dating Charlie Sheen than anything else. Travails with the IRS and varied medical issues were fodder for a particularly sobering E! True Hollywood Story episode, and Lynn has been toggling between porn and mainstream since her first adult comeback in 1999's aptly titled Torn. Other memorable appearances include a too-convincing performance as an abused stripper/hooker and single mom in the Metallica video "Turn the Page," a sort of sex counselor in one of the direct-to-video American Pie sequels, and a woman who has sex with a clown (shades of Lynn's work with the Dark Brothers) in Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects. Her latest porn work is a reteaming with her and Lords' frequent co-star Tom Byron in the aptly titled Seasoned Players 4.

NEXT: Jenna Jameson.
