"Depp Throat"? Jesus, that old pirate isn't starting a second career is he?

Here are a few I think I recall from different interviews I've seen or read.

Tammi Ann was an airline ramp worker at Burbank Airport. God how I wish I could have rolled around in the luggage with her back then.

Sandra Scream worked at the Nordstroms at Topanga Plaza in Woodland Hills, CA after she left the JW church. I think she said she later worked in a hair and/or nail salon in Beverly Hills as well.

I heard Darryl Hanah mention that she was a restaurant manager before going into porn.

Keri Windsor was once interviewed while giving some guy a rimmer in an Oral Consumption video. She said she had worked as a customer service supervisor for TWA Airlines "talking to angry people all day and making them happy." She also said that she lived in Saudi Arabia for ten years when she was younger because of the oil business.

Even more complicated, the bluenoses decided to prosecute someone at every level of the production and distribution of "Deep Throat", and Annie had the luck to be a ticket-seller at a theater in Phoenix. As a result of the prosecution, she got to know Gerard Damiano, the director, and became his mistress.

Gianna Michaels worked for Dick's Drive-In in Seattle before doing porn.

Harry Reems worked as an actor in New York; the summer he did "Deep Throat" he had to choose making the movie in Florida or doing "Shakespeare in the Park" in New York.

A number of American Art Enterprises (Parliament Publishing) models, including Dawn Knudsen, and Roberta Pedon worked as prostitutes before/during/after modeling. Imagine calling an outcall service and having one of them show up...

If Playmates count, Roberta Vasquez worked for the California Highway Patrol before Playboy.

Keisha - phone sex operator
Nina Hartley - nurse
Ron Jeremy - I think he was teacher, maybe for disabled kids

I know I've heard a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment. I'm sure you guys know more though. Please add them if you do.

I believe in an interview Ginger Lynn said she used to work for the Musicland Record stores in California, eventually becoming like a store or district manager

Yes, it was. The guy had stolen the idea. But he was amazed; how many people in porn knew the plays of Clare Booth Luce?
Maybe Johnny was a closet reader, maybe it was a lucky coincidence. Who knows?

There is also an urban legend that Holmes got his start at 15 on the CBC kids' show The Forest Rangers. (Not true of course.) No idea if he started that one or what but I always laugh when I see a rerun of that show now because of that story.

I imagine that ALL THE F'ing time! LOL Even more so after I read that about a few of those Parliament girls a while ago (and those two were mentioned).
Sigh...

I heard Tracey Adams was an East Coast radio DJ "before".

She also had a non-speaking role in the Barbara Striesand/George Segal movie "The Owl and the Pussycat" playing the girlfriend of Segal's friend played by comedian Robert Klien.

Watch this clip, about halfway in, Klien tells a great story about her in that film

In a similar vein Teri Weigel http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...ht=Teri+Weigel was a budding Gymnast.

And fellow playmate Luann Lee http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...nn+Laureen+Lee an Ice skater.

It is also well documented that Brooke and Taylor Young were Airline Stewardesses.
