I totally agree with you Len, about Tracy Lords we're talking about breaking the law so we can't complain..but how many like her?
The matter is quite different, 98% of them were adult and had a brain (I guess so), with freedom of choice, without breaking the law and most important thing was the fact that they knew were making movies for the mass not amateur ones for their boyfriends or husbands.
I'd say take it easy. living in fear of being discovered like a fugitive is not that nice.

That was to a great extent my point. Traci has got the law on her side as well as the public who believe her tales that she only starred in a handful of movies and all the rest were compilations. She made approx 100 feature films, according to many detailed filmographies!
Traci got a fake US passport (and traveled to France and Japan) for which she was never prosecuted. You go try that and see what happens to you! She also set up her own company and produced a movie in France while she was of age. When she was short of money she sold it Caballero for a large sum of money which she apparently used to lauch her mainstream careen and help her during this "transition" time. When the exclusive rights ran out, she battled with Caballero and withdrew the movie from circulation. So really nothing hc is legitametely out there in the USA. Is that astute or what?? She kept her porn name, and she claims there was no use hiding it, but had she started a mainstream singing/acting career calling herself "Julie Morningstar" no one would even care, but when a direct-to-DVD movie shows in large print the name "Traci Lords" on the box cover those in know understand who she is/was.
Bu then in porn you have the porn performers who rant on the porn industry once they leave it, the large number who are proud of what they have done, those that go into hiding hoping nobody remembers them when they try to build a regular life outside of the porn industry, and the small number of performers who by legal pressure and other means try to cancel their past. That may have been possible years ago to some extent, but with collectors and the web, somebody somewhere has got the "offending" material and will put it on line for those who are willing to look and search for it. They can intimidate IAFD or EGAFD and others but they can't be chasing everybody forever. The net is too big and too anonymous for a complete wipe out and redo of their porn past.
I believe Ron Margold said it best (in an interview I recall seeing in a magazine many many ears ago) when he said that when a newcomer approached him about starting a porn career he would tell that that they should not be in that type of business if one day someone (I think he probably meant a family member, but I don't recall exactly) would come upon pictures of her sprawled on a bed with candles up her ass, and if they were not ready to deal with it, then they should stay out.
