And I teamed up with Ashley West to investigate the mystery, because how could I dream up a better partner? all of which should remind us of the old joke: Guy goes to a psychiatrist and the doc puts him through some evaluations.

She continued modeling and walked the runway for fashion designers such as Janet Howard and Thierry Mugler.

What’s more, this podcast is the story of a particular individual, Traci Lords, but it’s also the story of a particular time and place: the Valley in the mid ’80s. In the latter half of the 1990s, she seemed in numerous B movies that went straight to video and/or cable in lead, minor or cameo roles.

Because my mind is in the past (the mid-eighties) and in the gutter (the porn biz) for reasons that will become clear, I've spent a lot of time thinking about the September 1984 issue of Penthouse .Lords co-starred in Jim Wynorski's television horror Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre (2015) and made her second appearance as Val on the series EastSiders. And for the entire time she was in the adult industry, the adult industry believed she was over the age of consent.

Industry insiders, including Ron Jeremy, Tom Byron, Peter North, and Ginger Lynn said they never saw her use drugs and that she was always fully aware of her actions.

And if the geographical separation between the two industries is narrow, the psychological isn’t even that.

The way they told the story was as a noir, with Traci as the ne plus ultra of femmes fatales: She’d scammed the adult industry with a fake ID; had made one movie after the age of 18, a movie she owned the rights to; and then she’d blown the whistle on herself to make more money and become more famous.

I will, however, say this: We regard Traci as a feminist icon, and she captured this status in the least likely way imaginable.

If Williams was a victim, however, she turned herself, through sheer force of will and strength of character—not to mention natural talent—into a winner.

However, Lords turned down the offer due to the requirement of having a nude scene, since she was trying to establish herself as a serious actress. Lords auditioned for the part of Breathless Mahoney in the film Dick Tracy (1990), but the role went to Madonna. Actually, Williams would get her revenge on Penthouse, if only a taste of it and indirectly, a lot sooner than 2010.
