This fall, Jennifer Love Hewitt will try her hand at escorting- on screen, at least. The Ghost Whisperer star has signed on to reprise her role as Samantha Horton, a Texas housewife-turned-hooker, in the new Lifetime series The Client List.

Cybill Shepherd will co-star as Samantha's mother, who lives in blissful ignorance of her daughter's nude profession. On the other hand, Jennifer's real-life mother is thrilled that her baby girl has grown up to be a (onscreen) ho, as Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight:

My mom's like, 'I'm so proud. You're pole dancing and you're going to play a prostitute. Awesome!'

It's like, 'Yeah, what you always dreamed about, mama!' But you know, it's a great part.

The Client List was skinspired by a real-life prostitution ring in Odessa, Texas, and it's far from the first tawdry tale to draw from real-life sex worker scandals. Join us after the jump for more movies that have turned news headlines into nude headlights!

Happy Memorial Day! Before you pack up the picnic basket and beer and fire up the grill, take a moment to remember the beautiful, talented skin starlets we've sadly lost over the last few years. No words can express the loss we all feel at the passing of women like pin-up queen Bettie Page, the classy Natasha Richardson, the sunny, sweet and sexy Brittany Murphy, and lovely legend Farrah Fawcett. Luckily, we'll always have their movies to remember them by. Here's to you, ladies. We'll never forget you.

Every generation, it happens. One lascivious book makes its way into the mainstream and is picked up by even the most staid and uptight of people. And then one day, their children, casually browsing Mom and Dad’s bookshelf, come across the book, with its creased and worn spine, and pick it up for a quick thumb-through. And immediately the pimply pubescents are ushered into a magical new world filled with thoughts of flesh and boners.
