Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Traci Lords (1968 - ) Actress Also: Singer, songwriter Born As: Nora Louise Kouzma Born: May 7, 1968, Steubenville, OH Education: Lee Strasberg Institute This porn kitten has become a legit screen actor with mixed success, a transition made somewhat easier by her wholesome girl-next-door looks, and relatively liberal and forgiving times. Born and raised in Ohio, Lords moved to California with her family and began acting in pornographic films at the age of 15. She made some 100 highly profitable flicks (with titles like BEVERLY HILLS COPULATOR and NEW AGE HOOKERS before being arrested by the FBI in 1986 for being underage (and strung out on drugs, in her own words). Redemption came, oddly, through schlockmeister Roger Corman, who cast her in NOT OF THIS EARTH (1988). She garnered respectable notices, though the script did call for her to strip down and display her assets. Most of Lords' film work has been spotty: roles in FAST FOOD (1989), SHOCK 'EM DEAD (1991), RAW NERVE (1991) and A TIME TO DIE (1991), DESPERATE CRIMES (1993) y otros. Lords' best work has been for director John Waters, who cast her in supporting roles in CRY-BABY (1990) and SERIAL MOM (1994). She acted with Denzel Washington in the action film ASESINO VIRTUAL (1995) and with Denis Leary in the comedy UNDERWORLD (1996). A measure of her growing credibility is that director Martin Scorsese almost chose her over Sharon Stone for a pivotal role in CASINO starring Robert De Niro. Lords has had considerable success on TV, guesting on Cuentos de la Cripta (HBO), Married...With Children (Fox) y Roseanne (ABC), and with a recurring role in nighttime soap Melrose Place (Fox, 1995). Lords has also appeared in several TV movies and miniseries , including Stephen King LOS TOMMYKNOCKERS (ABC, 1993), AS GOOD AS DEAD (USA, 1995) y DEAD MAN'S ISLAND (CBS, 1996). As singer and songwriter, she released her first album, a techno disc called 1,000 Fires, in 1995.
