Traci lords’ age, height, weight, biography, relationships & more

Личная жизнь

В отличие от скандального прошлого и откровенных ролей на экранах, личная жизнь Трейси не отличается подробным освещением деталей в прессе.

Известно, что звездная красавица в третий раз замужем. Первым мужем стал актер Брук Йитон. Пара прожила вместе с 1990 по 1996 годы. Вторым возлюбленным оказался кинокомпозитор Райан Грейнджер. Правда, брак продлился всего год, с 1999-го по 2000-й.

В настоящее время избранник в прошлом скандальной актрисы – Джеф Ли. Влюбленные узаконили отношения в 2002 году, а в октябре 2007-го на свет родился первый и единственный сын Трейси – Джозеф Гуннар Ли.

What Is Traci Lords’ Net Worth and Salary?

Traci Lords is an American actress, producer, director, writer, and singer who has a net worth of $1 million. Traci Lords began her career amidst controversy in the adult industry and went on to enter several genres in mainstream entertainment. Some of her mainstream films include «Cry-Baby» (1990), «Serial Mom» (1994), «Underworld» (1996), «Blade» (1998), «Zack and Miri Make a Porno» (2008), «Excision» (2012), and «Devil May Call» (2013), and she had recurring roles on «Roseanne» (1994–1995), «Melrose Place» (1995), and «Profiler» (1997–1998). Traci entered the adult industry when she was just fifteen years old, using a fake ID. Shortly after she turned 18, authorities discovered that she had been underage and used her case to clobber the porn industry. As a minor, she could not be charged and was rather seen as a victim of the industry who was drugged and made to do things against her wishes.

Lords went on release the 1995 album «1000 Fires» and the 2004 EP «Sunshine,» and her singles «Control» and «Last Drag» were top 10 hits on the «Billboard» Hot Dance Club Songs chart. She wrote and directed the 2005 short film «Sweet Pea,» and she served as a producer on the films «Beverly Hills Copulator» (1986), «Traci Takes Tokyo» (1986), «Traci, I Love You» (1987), «Extramarital» (1998), and «Excision» (2012). She also released the 2003 autobiography «Traci Lords: Underneath It All,» which debuted at #31 on «The New York Times» Best Seller list. In 2015, Traci appeared on the hit ABC reality television series «Celebrity Wife Swap,» on which she traded lives with actress Jackée Harry.

Детство и юность

Нора Луиза Кузьма, таково настоящее имя актрисы, родилась 7 мая 1968 года в штате Огайо. Кроме нее, в семье подрастало еще трое дочерей. Родители Трейси оказались далеки от идеала, и девочка не знала, что такое спокойная домашняя обстановка. Когда будущей звезде телеэкранов исполнилось семь, мать, уставшая от побоев и пьяных выходок мужа, подала на развод.

Впрочем, согласно судебному решению, горе-родитель имел право на встречи с детьми раз в неделю. Вряд ли дочери остались рады такому повороту, но деваться было некуда, и каждые выходные девочки проводили с отцом. Трейси вспоминала, что мужчину мало заботила жизнь семьи. Малышку возмущало, что он жил в свое удовольствие, в то время как им приходилось нелегко в добывании средств к существованию.

Матери тоже оказалось не до воспитания – женщина устраивала личную жизнь и проводила все меньше времени дома с детьми. В конце концов, семья перебралась в Калифорнию с новым возлюбленным матери Трейси Роджером. Новоиспеченный приемный папа продавал наркотики, а также сам не отказывался от употребления.

Взрослые тратили время на решение собственных проблем, поэтому, когда в 10 лет над Трейси надругался школьный приятель, девочка сохранила происшествие в тайне. По признанию актрисы, она рано созрела в физическом плане. Юная Лордс вынуждена была в раннем возрасте пойти на первый аборт. Причем помог ей в этом приятель матери Роджер. Он же организовал падчерице поддельные документы, благодаря которым 15-летняя Нора стала 22-летней Кристи Элизабет Нуссман.

Career

Lords made her debut in mainstream cinema with a lead role in the movie ‘Not of This Earth,’ directed by Jim Wynorski, in 1988. She also signed a modeling contract for the magazine ‘Muscle & Fitness’ under her actual name, Nora Kuzma. Her major success in mainstream cinema came in 1990 with the musical comedy, ‘Cry-Baby,’. 

She subsequently moved to London and began modeling for fashion designers like Thierry Mugler. In 1990, she released her fitness video, ‘Warm up with Traci.’ 

Lords signed a contract with ‘Radioactive Records’ and recorded the song ‘Love Never Dies’ for the movie ‘Pet Sematary Two’ and the song ‘Little Baby Nothing’ by Manic Street Preachers. 

She released her debut studio album titled ‘1000 Fires,’ in 1995. Her lead single from the album titled ‘Control’ reached the second spot on the ‘Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs’ list.

In 2008, she appeared in the science fiction direct-to-DVD movie, ‘Princess of Mars.’

As of December 2023, Traci Lords’ net worth is $1 Million.

Фильмы

Используя фальшивые водительские права, 15-летняя Трейси в поисках заработка впервые попала в мир порноиндустрии. Начало карьере положено благодаря съемкам для журналов Velvet, Juggs и Club. Немногим позже, во время работы с популярным изданием “Пентхаус”, модель попросили назвать псевдоним. Недолго думая, фанатка Джека Лорда и сериала “Гавайи 5-О”, придумала имя Трейси Лордс. С этим именем девушка вскоре стала знакома любителям “клубнички”.

Кстати, работа в популярных журналах не осталась незамеченной. Одноклассник Трейси узнал девушку на развороте. После этого школьница покинула стены учебного заведения и никогда туда не возвращалась.

За два года юная девушка снялась в 75 фильмах. По словам Трейси, съемки давали возможность раскрепоститься и выплеснуть накопившуюся злость и отрицательную энергию. Трейси работала со звездами индустрии – Питером Нортом, Роном Джереми, Томом Байроном и другими.

В конце мая 1986 года властям стало известно о фальсификации документов Трейси Лордс во время съемок. Скандал разгорелся со скоростью вспыхнувшей спички. Телевидение и пресса говорили о том, что девушка стала жертвой магнатов бизнеса.

Впрочем, расследование показало, что для работодателей истинный возраст актрисы оставался загадкой. Единственным решением стало указание на изъятие материалов с участием Трейси. Все картины, в которых снялась девушка до достижения совершеннолетия, считались пропагандой детской порнографии.

Единственным разрешенным остался последний фильм, снятый через пару дней после заветного 18-го дня рождения – “Трейси, я люблю тебя”. Лордс выступила в роли продюсера и продала права на показ картины за $100 тыс. Ходили слухи, что актриса сама устроила шумиху, договорившись с властями, но Трейси категорично отрицала домыслы.

Оставив негласное звание принцессы “клубнички” в прошлом, Трейси окончила курсы актерского мастерства и попытала счастья в кинематографе. Не каждый режиссер готов рискнуть снять вчерашнюю скандальную актрису.

В эпизодической роли Трейси появилась в сериале «Вайсгай». Затем последовал персонаж медсестры в полнометражном фильме “Не с этой планеты”. Картина провалилась в прокате, зато критики постановили, что Трейси Лордс можно считать полноценной актрисой.

Устав скрываться от прошлого, в 1988 году девушка официально сменила имя на Трейси Лордс. А затем карьера получила развитие. В основном Трейси снимается в низкобюджетных картинах категории Б, но отметилась в “Блэйде”, сериалах “Первая волна”, “Женаты…с детьми”.

Помимо актерских талантов, Трейси обладает и вокальными данными. Она записала несколько синглов, один из которых – “Control” – стал музыкальной темой фильма “Мортал комбат”. В 1995 году вышел диск звезды “1000 Fires”.

Актриса рассказала историю жизни в автобиографии “Traci Lords: Underneath It All”, вышедшей в печать в 2003 году. Книга стала бестселлером по версии журнала “Нью-Йорк Таймс”.

Career

At the age of 15, Lords began working as a babysitter for a friend of Roger Hayes, and the woman offered to get Traci a fake ID to help her improve her job opportunities. The new ID stated that Lords’ name was Kristie Elizabeth Nussman and that she was 20 years old. In early 1984, Traci answered a newspaper ad for Jim South’s World Modeling Talent Agency, and Hayes accompanied her to the office, posing as her stepfather. After Lords signed with the agency, she began booking jobs as a nude model, appearing in publications such as «Juggs» and «Velvet.» When she was chosen to model in the September 1984 issue of «Penthouse» magazine (the 15th-anniversary issue), she was asked for her stage name, and she chose «Traci» because it was a popular name she liked and «Lords» because she was a fan of «Hawaii Five-O» and its star Jack Lord. Traci appeared in her first pornographic movie, «What Gets Me Hot!,» in 1984, and after she turned 16 and starred in the AVN Award-winning porn spoof «Talk Dirty to Me Part III,» she was dubbed the «Princess of Porn.» When she was 17, she formed the Traci Lords Company with her then-boyfriend/manager Stuart Dell, and they produced the films «Traci Takes Tokyo,» «Beverly Hills Copulator,» and the unreleased «Screamer» for Vantage International.

In the spring of 1986, authorities were informed that Traci hadn’t been of legal age when she was starring in porn movies, and they arrested the owners of X-Citement Video, Inc. and Lords’ movie agency. Within a few weeks, adult movie theatres and video stores began removing Traci’s films to avoid being prosecuted for the distribution of child pornography. Only one of Lords’ pornographic movies is legally available in the U.S.; she filmed «Traci, I Love You» two days after she turned 18. After spending some time in therapy, Traci studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, then she landed guest-starring roles on «Wiseguy» (1988), «Married… with Children» (1989–1991), «MacGyver» (1989–1990), «Highlander» (1993), «Tales from the Crypt» (1993), and «Nash Bridges» (1997). Around this time, she also appeared in the Stephen King TV movie «The Tommyknockers» (1993) and the films «Not of This Earth» (1988), «Fast Food» (1989), «Cry-Baby» (1990), «Shock ‘Em Dead» (1990), «Raw Nerve» (1991), «Intent to Kill» (1992), and «Serial Mom» (1994), «Virtuosity» (1995), «Underworld» (1996), and «Blade» (1998). In the ’90s, Lords had recurring roles as Stacy Flagler on ABC’s «Roseanne» (1994–1995), Rikki Abbott on Fox’s «Melrose Place» (1995), and Sharon Lesher on NBC’s «Profiler» (1997–1998), and she appeared in Color Me Badd’s 1991 music video «I Wanna Sex You Up.»

Traci landed lead roles in 2000’s «Chump Change» and «Epicenter,» then she appeared in the films «Manhood» (2003), «Frostbite» (2005), «Crazy Eights» (2006), «I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell» (2009), and «Princess of Mars» (2009). She also played «Bubbles» in the 2008 Kevin Smith-directed comedy «Zack and Miri Make a Porno» alongside Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Craig Robinson, and Jason Mewes. From 2000 to 2001, Lords had a recurring role as Jordan Radcliffe on the Canadian sci-fi drama «First Wave,» and she later guest-starred on «Gilmore Girls» (2003), «Will & Grace» (2005), «Wanted» (2005), and «Andy Barker, P.I.» (2007). From 2013 to 2019, she appeared in eight episodes of the YouTube/Netflix series «EastSiders,» and she played Jane McKinney on the Viaplay series «Swedish Dicks» from 2016 to 2018. Traci won several awards for her performance in the 2012 psychological horror film «Excision,» then she appeared in «Devil May Call» (2013), «Cemetery Tales Presents: A Tale of Two Sisters» (2018), «Manipulated» (2019), «Nicole, her Ex & the Killer» (2020), «Waking Up Dead» (2021), and «The Farm» (2021).

Awards and Nominations

In 1987, Traci was inducted into the «Adult Video News» Awards Hall of Fame, but according to IMDB, her spot in the hall of fame «appears to have been revoked when it was discovered she was under-age when her career started.» Lords also earned «Adult Video News» Award nominations for Best New Starlet (1985), Best Actress – Shot-On-Video Feature for «The Adventures of Tracy Dick: The Case of the Missing Stiff» (1986), and Best Sex Scene in a Feature Film (shared with Jay Serling) for «Bad Girls III» (1986). In 1985, she was nominated for Starlet of the Year and Video Vixen by the X-Rated Critics’ Organization. In 2001, Traci won a Film Discovery Jury Award for Best Actress for «Chump Change» at the US Comedy Arts Festival, and in 2012/2013, «Excision» earned her a CinEuphoria Award for Best Supporting Actress – International Competition, a «Fangoria» Chainsaw Award for Best Supporting Actress, a Fright Meter Award for Best Supporting Actress, and a Molins Film Festival Jury Prize for Best Actress. Traci received a Best Guest Star – Drama nomination for «Eastsiders» at the 2014 Indie Series Awards, and in 2019, she earned a Best Actress nomination for «Cemetery Tales: A Tale of Two Sisters» at the Terror in the Bay Film Festival.

“I am climbing to the top Of the tallest darkest tree I need to know Where heaven stops What lies Beyond the dream.” – Traci Lords

“I have a lot of — I struggle with a lot of shame over my past. There have been times when I’ve been incredibly embarrassed about the things that happened to me.

Personal Life

Traci was married to Brook Yeaton from September 29, 1990, to January 1, 1996, and to Ryan Granger from June 26, 1999, to February 1, 2000. She married Jeff Gruenewald on February 23, 2002, and they welcomed son Joseph Gunnar Lee on October 7, 2007. Lords has been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ community, and in a 2012 interview with «GayCalgary Magazine,» she stated, «I witnessed a close friend die of AIDS in the nineties and his partner was denied all access to him in the hospital. That’s what started my activism.» Traci also said in the interview, «Some of my dearest friends are gay and I hate the ways they suffer. It’ s wrong.»

Early Life

Traci Lords was born Nora Louise Kuzma on May 7, 1968, in Steubenville, Ohio. She is the daughter of Patricia and Louis Kuzma, and her father was a steelworker. Traci and her three sisters, Lorraine, Grace, and Rachel, moved to their great-grandmother’s house with their mother after their parents got divorced, but their abusive, alcoholic father was given partial custody of them. When she was 12 years old, Traci and her sisters moved to Redondo Beach, California, with Patricia and her new boyfriend. Lords attended Redondo Union High School, but she dropped out at the age of 15 to begin working in the porn industry. In her autobiography, Traci wrote that Patricia’s boyfriend, Roger Hayes, was a drug abuser and that he molested her while she was sleeping. In a 2003 «Dateline» interview, Lords revealed that she had been sexually assaulted at the age of 10 as well, stating, «I was raped by this boy, an older boy in school that I was completely in love with. And it changed my life completely. It was the single most traumatizing thing that ever happened to me in my life.»

Earnings

In a 2003 interview, Traci claimed that she earned a total of $40,000 over the three year period that she starred in adult films. In her memoir, which was released that same year, she pegged the number a little lower at $35,000. That’s the same as $90,000 – $100,000 in today’s dollars after adjusting for inflation. At one point, she also claimed to be broke, having spent the entirety of her income – which was all paid in cash – on drugs, alcohol, and other lifestyle expenses. Lords’ manager has disputed those estimates, claiming that at her peak Traci was earning $300,000 per year. If true, that would be like earning around $750,000 per year in today’s dollars.
