The greatest adult film actress of all time.
Nomad-722 August 1998
Tracie Lords was the greatest actress ever to perform in adult films. If she wasn't, she would not be doing so well in "legit" cinema. It is a shame that is was discovered that she was underaged. It is a loss to all fans of great adult movies. Because she was so great, she worked with the great directors, writers, producers and stars. Their work was also lost when her movies were banned. If you get the opportunity to see an early Tracey Lords movie, check it out. (Close you eyes when Tracey is naked or you will be breaking the law.) The only adult movie she did that is not worth your time is her last, and only legal, one.

A Bevy of Traci
tampaboy-1122 September 2023
By now everyone knows the dirty little secret of Traci Lords so no need to recant how she rose to the top, and then it all came crashing down. The aftermath disaster. The embarrassment to the government. The subsequent writing and re-writing of history and the fascination for writers, podcasters, and nighttime TV hosts to hear her story. There is her side. There is the side of the porn industry. And recent podcasters Lili Anolik and Ashley West do a fantastic job of trying to cover all sides of the story with the ultimate question going unanswered...Who ratted out Traci?.... Many theories abound, but listen to the podcast entitled Once Upon a Time in the Valley to hear them all. Well worth the time.

In this venue Traci is interviewed by Paul Thomas, known in the industry as PT. Thomas speaks with the bikini clad Traci on a couch as he asks her about the men and women she has worked with and how they played into her life. Tom Byron, Mark Wallace, Herschel Savage, Craig Roberts, and Blake Palmer get to sample the wonderous goods Traci Lords brought to each movie she shot. The women in the movie were Gina Carrera and Raven. These scenes were shot in other movies and or loops and incorporated into this feature.

As the movie proceeds Traci begins to shed some of her bikini, much to the delight of PT. As she removes her bikini top PT stares at Traci's large and inviting tits and seemingly uncomfortably tells Traci and the audience "those are some beautiful breasts you have." Aren't her breasts beautiful"?" he asks the viewer.

The film quality is not great and I imagine if any website decides to do a complete catalog restoration of Traci's work they'll take digitization and make them HD and or higher quality.

Traci's scenes are all extremely hot and her improv work showed the innate talent this underaged teen had for the camera. There seemingly isn't a situation presented where Traci doesn't dominate. From her first scene where Byron is undressing (making the scene a sort of audition for Traci) and he says she may have the assets for the business. A much less confidant and perhaps uncomfortable teenager might have been a little off her game as the young stud Byron begins to paw at her tube top. Yet Traci pulls back a bit to remove the tube top herself while she preens and says "Do you really think I have the assets"? People, even Stevie Wonder could see Traci HAD the assets! Her lesbian scene with porn vet Raven Touchstone was really hot. They seemed to enjoy one another very much. Her scene with Herschel Savage was also extremely good. Traci didn't work that much with Savage but each time they did they meshed sexually very well. Herschel too, one could tell, was enamored with the young starlets full 36D bosoms and makes mention of her beautiful breasts, which he proceeds to pay a lot of eye and mouth attention to as she writhes in ecstasy. Tom Byron is the only male actor in this film to have an encore scene with Traci. It's a setup where Byron and Gina Carrera start to go at it when Traci walks in to find her "boyfriend" cheating on her. Here, the young starlet shows her improv abilities. She delivers her lines in a manner which suggests both Tom and Gina are caught by surprise. And in her own way of demonstrating that she, Traci, regarded herself as the prime piece of pussy any man or woman would want she offers Tom "a goodbye interlude". Soooooo hot!!! You may have wondered if PT gets to bone with the well endowed feline Traci on the couch. By now Traci has removed her bikini bottom and is completely naked sitting by PT. He asks her whom she would like to work with and she names a few actors and of course PT. He reacts likes he's surprised and assures Traci he can make that happen. They have quite a good scene as we get the full view of all of Traci's wonderous talents and physical assets.

For any fan of Traci Lords this is a must see movie. Anyone trying to understand what made Traci such a compelling performer in this genre of films I assure you if you see this movie the compilation of scenes will give you a good start to understanding the phenomenon that was Traci Lords and why even 35+ years later she is still regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, talents to ever perform in XXX. It isn't just the story of how she was underaged. There were plenty of pornstars thru the years that ponied up phony proof while they were under 18. It wasn't only her unique sounds while having sex as many women/girls made their own signature sounds. It wasn't even Traci's fully developed body as a 15+ year old cause there have been others. It's the idea Traci Lords literally was the most demanded performer in video stores. She had a certain appeal to the camera, therefore the viewer. She became the image of what pure sex and seduction looked and sounded like. And then of course the aftermath was an entangled crime story begging the question who were the real victims and who benefitted most from Traci's time in and out of porn?
