Picture Trivia

         The leopard (scientifically known as Panthera pardus) is a large spotted member of the cat family (Felidae) native to Africa and Asia. Do you know that leopards once inhabited much of Europe? They did, but became extinct there near the end of the Pleistocene, some 10,000 years ago. The oldest known fossils of leopards are from late Pliocene deposits (about two million years old) in India and southern Africa.

          Leopards are endangered throughout their distribution due to loss of habitat and natural prey, and hunting.

Traci Lords on the cover of
Details (May 1995).

Picture Trivia

          Nora Louise Kuzma is better known in the pornographic film industry as Traci Lords. At the age of 15, Kuzma used a California driver’s license with the name Kristie Nussbaum and faked her age to be 18 so that she could do nude modeling.
          The first porno film that Kuzma did under the screen name Traci Lords is What Gets Me Hot (1984), when she was barely 16 years old. She was paid 200 dollars for it. Under American law, because Kuzma was still a minor, the film What Gets Me Hot and 77 other sex films she did before her 18th birthday is considered “child pornography.” Today, the original and uncut version of What Gets Me Hot (79 minutes) is considered a collector’s item.
          The only porno film legally available in the United States uncut is Traci I Love You (1987), which she herself produced.
          According to an interview in A Current Affair (1988), Lords quit the porno industry in 1986 after she was arrested by the FBI. In the next two years, she tried to put her life in order by joining the Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.
          The first mainstream film she did was the remake of Roger Corman’s sci-fi Not of This Earth (1988), though she also did two nude scenes.
          In 1995, Lords had a guest appearance in the popular TV series Melrose Place. In that same year, she also ventured into singing and had her solo album 1,000 Fires. The album includes the single “Control” (February 1995), which reached the Number 2 of the Billboard Top Dance/Club Songs Chart, and “Fallen Angel” (September 1995), which reached Number 11. The instrumental version of “Control” was used in the movie adaptation of the video game Mortal Combat, while “Fallen Angel” became the soundtrack of the film Virtuosity (1995).
