Picture Trivia

          Ginger Lynn (Allen) is an American actress who appeared both in porno and mainstream films. Do you know how she started in the porno industry? In 1982, while working as a manager in a Musicland Record Store in Redlands, California, she tried to audition as a figure model that paved the way for a Penthouse magazine layout. That started it all. In just four years, Lynn was able to make 69 porno films excluding the re-issues and compilations that made her a “porn legend” at 24 years old.

          In mainstream film, Lynn is part of the cast of the Vice Academy and Wing Commander film series, and she was in a supporting role in Young Guns II (1990).

          Lynn was the first “Vivid Girl” of Vivid Video, a recognition where her foremost rival was Traci Lords.

          The FBI approached and asked Lynn to testify against Traci Lords who appeared in a porno film while she was still a minor. She refused and subsequently was arrested but the Internal Revenue Service (I.R.S.) for tax evasion. After this, she had a pair of lips tattooed on her right ass cheek. This according to her is so that “the I.R.S. can kiss my ass!”
