Porn's Biggest Crossover Stars
  • James Deen

    Deen snagged the lead role in the Lindsay Lohan starrer The Canyons after screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis asked director Paul Schrader to give the porn star a screen test. "It was very clear that James was a serious, smart and conscientious guy," says Schrader, the writer-director of American Gigolo. "If it is possible to have a Calvinist work ethic in pornography, he has it. I am very, very comfortable letting James' performance speak for itself." Back to Hollywood & Sex (What's Hot)

In 2004, she released the autobiography How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale, a New York Times best-seller. She has appeared regularly on Howard Stern’s radio show, and her TV credits include Wild On … and Family Guy. Back to Hollywood & Sex (What's Hot)
