Pörñ Stars Go Mainstream

Ginger Lynn's prolific adult-film career in the 1980s made her one of the biggest names in X-rated films. However, in 1986, Lynn stopped working in adult films to begin a mainstream career and began using her full name: Ginger Lynn Allen. Although she managed to land some mainstream parts on TV and on the big screen, her relationship with actor Charlie Sheen garnered more Hollywood attention. More recently, Lynn appeared in "American Pie: Band Camp" in 2005, and hit satellite airwaves in 2006 as the host of Playboy Radio's Sirius Radio Show.


Jameson may be starring in her first film since leaving the pörñ business, but she was already making a more modest showing as Shadow Hunter in a new graphic art book series, published by Virgin Comics. Over the years Jameson has become one of the most visible pörñ stars in mainstream media, beginning with a cameo in Howard Stern's "Private Parts" (1997), her 2004 book, "How to Make Love Like a pörñ Star: A Cautionary Tale" and guest-hosting stints on the E! entertainment channel.



Stormy Daniels won the award for best new starlet from Adult Video News in 2004. However, her adult-film career success hasn't deterred her mainstream ambitions. Daniels has not only appeared in men's magazines GQ and FHM, but she has also written for FHM. In addition to small stints in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and the FX show "Dirt," Daniels even scored herself an invite to the 2007 Grammys, at left.
