NYC Glossy Claims Tera Patrick Said She Was the Only Porn Star to Ever Cross Over Into the Mainstream
NYC Glossy Claims
Adult-video fans are pumped for a clash of the Ultimate XXX Brunette versus the Ultimate XXX Blonde after Tera Patrick reportedly dished out unkind words toward Jenna Jameson in Black Book magazine.
According to the article, Tera said: “I’m the only one with a mainstream presence. Jenna’s never been on the cover of FHM. There’s a lot more things I’ve done than Jenna. I wouldn’t say she has a mainstream presence, I would say that she is the number one face of porn. She has more of a porn look. And Jenna’s a lot older than me and she’s been in the business a lot longer than me. She was the first to go mainstream with Howard Stern, but I’ve done more legitimate mainstream things than she has. There’s really no other porn star that’s crossed into mainstream that I can think of. I’m the only girl that’s been on FHM, I have a video game, I’ve been on the Carson Daly show, I’ve done a lot of stuff. I’m not trying to toot my own horn, I’m not saying I’m definitely out of porn or turning my back on porn, I would never do that. But I’m pretty much the girl that makes porn okay.
Frankly, that does not sound like the gracious, thoughtful Tera Patrick that Mr. Skin has known and Skinterviewed.
Today, LukeIsBack.com reports that Tera was indeed misquoted, and that they expect the writer to make a correction.
Mr. Skin loves Tera Patrick and Jenna Jameson both, but it’s time to step in an toot the horns of crossover porn queens Traci Lords, Ginger Lynn Allen, Kristine DeBell, and others.
Traci Lords remains the best-known hardcore starlet to make the leap to Hollywood productions. However, Traci made sure in her R-rated debut, Not of this Earth, to include a look at the powerfully puffy nipples that had made her a scandalous super-siren.
Ginger Lynn Allen, who was Traci Lords' X-rated rival, has also scored notable mainstream roles, including the lead in Mettalica's "Turn the Page" video, Bound, Gagged: A Love Story, the Vice Academy film series American Pie Presents Band Camp, and NYPD Blue.
Most remarkably -- and most often overlooked -- is Ford Agency fashion model and one-time Playboy cover girl (April 1976)Kristine DeBellwho went from pictorials to sucking and screwing men and women alike on film in the pornographic cult classicAlice in Wonderland.Subsequent nude stills from "Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy" (1976) also appeared in the magazine.Kristine followed up her sperm-splattered, clit-licking breakthrough with major roles in the belovedBill Murraysummer camp farceMeatballsand oppositeJackie ChaninThe Big Brawl.
She also did post-X guest spots onEight Is Enough,CHiPs, andFantasy Island.African-American XXX eyefulHeather Hunterturned up (and on) inFrankenhookerand Spike Lee’sHe Got Game.MultitalentedVeronica Harthas appeared nude in no less 14 non-X films, and even busted out some jamambo jugs on HBO’sSix Feet Under.
