You'd read about them in newspapers, or watch them covered on TV. But the media could report on those stories. Bloch again: "I mean, People magazine would do stories on Jackie Kennedy or whoever, and it would be a big story and the issue would sell. There were guys paying-a dollar for a peek. The most important news in the history of our country, having a woman vice presidential nominee, was overshadowed by the fact that we had…well, that we had what we had." "You couldn't get a copy. The front page of that paper was our story. Somebody in the press got an advance copy, and released it to the New York Post or the Daily News, one of those, the same exact day that Walter Mondale announced he was picking Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. Richard Bleiweiss, Penthouse's then-art director: "The thing about this issue is, it became the biggest news story in the world. So there were guys paying-and this is something I saw with my own eyes-a dollar for a peek. Peter Bloch, Penthouse's then-executive editor: "It was the best-selling issue of Penthouse of all time. How to convey the magnitude of the frenzy? THIS INTERVIEW ORIGINALLY APPEARED IN THE AUGUST 1988 ISSUE OF INTERVIEW.Because my mind is in the past (the mid-eighties) and in the gutter (the porn biz) for reasons that will become clear, I've spent a lot of time thinking about the September 1984 issue of Penthouse. I had a red Corvette before this, and it caused me nothing but trouble.”) A cautionary memoir, Out of the Blue, and perhaps an autobiographical television movie for which she’s already been offered the lead, lie ahead for the unstoppable Lords.

In 1987 Corman wagered that the film couldn’t be remade of the same shooting schedule and budget (adjusted for inflation) as the original. The movie is a remake of a 1957 Roger Corman film about a space vampire in search of blood for his dying planet, and platinum blonde Nadine Story, played by the new version of Lords, on whose starched shoulders rests the fate of the Earth. In 1986, when she was barely 18, Lords’ career took a nose dive as her entire oeuvre-some 100 films-was pulled from the shelves, and former associates found themselves under Federal indictment for child pornography.īarely 20, Lords resurfaced this year as a tarnished angel in the aptly named “Date with an Angel” episode of television’s Wise Guy, and in Not of This Earth, her “mainstream” motion-picture debut. At 13 she was still Nora Louise Kuzma in Steubenville, Ohio, sneaking out of the house at night in search of “booze and boys.” A year later she migrated to Redondo Beach and, in her search for “bigger booze and bigger boys,” became one of the adult-film industry’s hottest stars. ![]() The precocious porn nymphet concocted her pseudonym long ago from Traci, her preferred Christian name, and the surname of her favorite television actor, Jack Lord. We first met Lords in 1988, as she was transitioning from adult entertainment to acting. Today, Lords is most famous for her roles in cult movies such as John Waters‘ Cry-Baby, Nowhere, and Blade. After turning 18, Lord’s true age was discovered, and she became infamous her films were taken out of circulation, and she retired from pornography to become an actress, fashion model, and singer. ![]() Soon after, she began appearing in adult films. In the mid-80s, when she was just 15, Traci Lords modeled nude for Penthouse using a fake ID.

The brand also restored its original logo, and unveiled its Fall 2017 campaign, shot by Ethan James Green.
