The 10 Hottest Porn Star Characters In Movies

Hey, remember that comedy about the porno movie business that starred Jamie Kennedy? You know, the one called Finding Bliss? If your answer is, “Oh, the one I always saw in the video store and sneered at before heading toward the video game section,” pat yourself on the back.

If for some reason one is ever compelled to watch Finding Bliss, however, it’s worth knowing that the straight-to-DVD clunker does feature Denise Richards recapturing some of that Wild Things sex appeal as a dim-witted porn star. Don’t forget that she’s one of Charlie Sheen’s original “goddesses”; to be real, she’s our favorite of his past conquests. Finding Bliss isn’t her career’s finest moment, but she definitely looks sexy as hell while taking a professional L.

Back when Charlie Sheen was a respected actor (yes, we mean Mr. Adonis DNA), the man who’d one day become a completely derailed egomaniac starred alongside his brother Emilio Estevez in the Showtime original movie Rated X.

The siblings played Jim and Artie Mitchell, two brothers who lived in San Diego throughout the 1970s and ’80s and helped to pioneer the local porno industry. Showing up in the film is real-life porn icon Marilyn Chambers, played by the equally hot Tracy Hutson. Stepping into a pretty important role, Hutson rises to the occasion, flaunting her bare privates without shame and simulating many a sexual encounter. She clearly did her homework on Chambers; Hutson nails the porn queen’s moves like a true method actor.

Nearly everyone in Paul Thomas Anderson’s excellent Boogie Nights gets some loving, including Don Cheadle’s electronics-obsessed porn actor Buck Swope (what a name). Swope marries the petite yet sultry Jessie St. Vincent, played by P.T. Anderson favorite Melora Walters (she also co-starred in the filmmaker’s 1999 drama Magnolia).

Coiffed in a short blonde wig, Walters isn’t given a whole lot to do in Boogie Nights, other than stand by her man after he survives a messy donut store hold-up. We love a loyal woman, though, so she’s a keeper to us.

Juvenile at times and altogether uneven, the R-rated teen comedy The Girl Next Door should’ve evaporated from our minds quicker than Eurotrip. But it’s tough not to admire a film that stars Elisha Cuthbert as an accessible porn star, at least to its male lead, a socially awkward high school student played by Emile Hirsch.

She’s trying to begin a normal young adult’s life, hiding her X-rated acting past until Hirsch’s friends recognize her from their spank bank DVD collection. Fortunately for his friends, Cuthbert’s character gets two of her porn gal-pals to accompany Hirsch’s friends to the prom. Simply for honoring Nate Dogg’s age-old adage, “It ain’t not fun if the homies can’t have none,” Cuthbert’s porno alter-ego is our kind of girl.

Superficial spoiler alert: Julianne Moore’s curves aren’t as voluptuous as those of her varied competition on this list. In self-defense, she could hit us with, “How many other chicks on this have been nominated for four Academy Awards?” To which we’d have nothing else to say but, “Touché."

Besides, it’s not all about physical features; what good are watermelon twos and a donkey ass if a woman doesn’t know how to use them? In Boogie Nights, Moore plays the seasoned porno pro Amber Waves, an experienced star who schools Mark Wahlberg in more ways than one. Like Dirk Diggler, we’re hot for teacher.

A movie about the dawn of Internet porn shouldn’t be a tough sell. Not only is the subject matter relevant to any guy who owns a laptop, it’s a fascinating topic both historically and from a business standpoint. So, when watching last year’s minor flop Middle Men, just pretend that the ever-dull Luke Wilson isn’t the star.



One effective way to perform such a visual feat is to focus on his character’s love interest, young porn star Audrey Dawn, played by one of Hollywood’s hottest sleepers, Laura Ramsey. One of the reasons why we’re hoping to see Ramsey hit it big is her willingness to remove bras in movies (see 2008’s The Ruins and the new crime drama Kill The Irishman, opening this weekend). If Luke Wilson knows what’s good for him, he’ll sign on to more of her projects in the future.

The independently made, documentary style 2003 flick This Girl’s Life took a huge creative risk by assuming that men actually care about what goes on in a porn star’s life off screen.

So it’s a credit to Ukrainian actress Juliette Marquis’ abilities that the low-budget drama, co-starring James Woods and Rosario Dawson, is pretty entertaining. Marquis is quite good as porn superstar Moon, a confident sexpot who takes money from insecure housewives to test their respective husbands’ faithfulness. Imagine that: Your girlfriend hires Tera Patrick to see if you’re trustworthy or not. Good luck saving that relationship.

As those Jersey Shore kids would say, Miri (Elizabeth Banks) is D.T.F. (Down to Fornicate... What? This is a family website.). She’s not an open-legged, slutty giver, though; rather, Seth Rogen’s female counterpart in writer-director Kevin Smith’s raunchy comedy is ready to have sex on camera to pay her rent and stay afloat financially. Her intentions may be noble, but Miri still engages in a bit of the old in-out, in-out with Zack (Rogen) before cameras—the first qualification of a porn star. Even in the movie’s non-porn scenes, though, Banks has never looked hotter.

So what if Sebastian Gutierrez’s Women In Trouble is type lousy—it features more flesh-bearing eye candy than any other “credible” film in recent memory. It’s a great thing that Gutierrez managed to snag Carla Gugino in real life; without his pulling of the “But you’re my girlfriend” card, we’re not so sure Gugino would’ve signed onto this B-grade comedy.

Seeing the perpetually slept-on beauty donning a blonde wig and assorted lingerie as veteran porn actress Elektra Luxx is a fantasy nearly 20 years in the making for dudes who’ll admit to having seen Pauly Shore’s 1993 flick Son In Law (go ahead, own up to it). Plus, Women In Trouble co-stars an actual thespian (Josh Brolin), and not Shore. That’s winning squared.

It doesn’t take Gene Shalit to realize that Boogie Nights is by far the best movie cited on this list. Though, to be fair, the competition is barely second-rate, except for the unexpectedly substantial The Girl Next Door. But that’s not why we’ve chosen Heather Graham’s Boogie Nights contribution as the tops. The proof is in those rollerskates—as the skate-loving porn star Rollergirl, Graham upgraded a mostly dialogue-free and minor role into a sex icon for cinema buffs and niche viewers.

Every time we revisit Boogie Nights, it’s impossible not to wish Rollergirl took the female lead instead of Julianne Moore’s Amber Waves. With four wheels under each foot, Graham’s bosom-thick shirts and scant miniskirts glide across the screen and into our dirtiest thoughts like clockwork. The best part: She comes faster each time. Um, yeah.
