I Was Young and Needed the Money: Difference between revisions

* When it was brought up on ''[[Get This]]'', these were [[Ed Kavalee]]'s exact words about an old film project of his, ''Meat Pie'', in which he played a teenager who has sex with a meat grinder and gets a penis transplant. Kavalee's comment was, "After seeing it, people look at me differently. They ask things like, 'Were you in some kind of trouble? You could have asked me for money!'"

* Legendarily, [[Marilyn Monroe]]'s (althoughphotos itin wasthe justfirst nudeissue pictures)of ''[[Playboy]]''.

* [[Sylvester Stallone]], who made his acting debut in the porn flick ''Party at Kitty and Stud's''.<ref>Hilariously, the movie was re-released after Stallone's breakout hit ''[[Rocky]]'' to cash in on said film's success under the title ''The Italian Stallion'', complete with a theme song [[Suspiciously Similar Song|that totally wasn't ripping off ''Rocky'']].</ref>

* [[Simon Rex]] acted in a few porn films.

* [[Maya Angelou]] used to "dance" "professionally".

* [[Vanessa Williams|Vanessa L. Williams]]'s ''[[Penthouse]]'' photoshoot was explained as such. She still lost her Miss America crown over it, however. The issue featuring Vanessa Williams' photoshoot ended up being banned as the centerfold (Traci Lords) was revealed to be underage at the time she posed for her picture, rendering all her porno pics and films child pornography.

* [[Danny Slavin]], who played Leo Corbett in ''[[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy]]'', only did it because he needed money for law school. Understandably, it took a lot of convincing to get him to return for the 10thtenth anniversary [[Reunion Show]]<ref>Not helped by the fact that, during the filming of the [[Reunion Show]] between ''Lost Galaxy'' and [[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue|its successor]], the producers tried to screw the actress who played ''LG'''s [[Big Bad]] out of her paycheck; Slavin walked off the set in protest and only returned for the 10thtenth anniversary as a personal favor to one of the producers.</ref>

* [[Cameron Diaz]]{{context}}

** So was actor [[Channing Tatum]]. He's even getting a film produced about this time in his life, directed by Steven Soderbergh (he is playing himself).

* Subverted by [[Jessica Biel]], who did a topless magazine shoot in late 2003. She didn't need the money at all, having just come off of the very successful remake of ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre]]'' and also having signed onto ''[[Blade]]: Trinity'', but her '''agent''' (who she fired not long afterwards) apparently negotiated a very nice chunk of the money for himself.

* [[Sasha Grey]], now an actress and avant-gardist, spent five straight years in the porn industry. She's known just as much for one as the other nowadays.
