Traci Lords Smoking a Cigarette in the 'Valentino Room' of the Alexandria Hotel, Los Angeles, April 1996

'Struggling to survive, [runaway, Nora Kuzma] assumed the name Traci Lords and became a Penthouse centerfold. By age fifteen she was a world-famous porn queen drowining in a sea of sex, drugs and lies until the FBI raided her home just days after her eighteenth birthday' (Traci Lords: Underneath it All, book jacket). This portrait was taken almost 10-years from the date of Lords's arrest.
