We've all seen pornstar names that were really similar to mainstream actresses, Kylie Ireland and such. I was perusing digital sin's website today and went to Teen Dreams 2's page Link and there was an actress named "Cindy Crawford". I had to do a double take to make sure, but yes it is exactly the same as the supermodel. Is this an error, has this ever been tried before, to me it's just shocking.
There used to be a performer who used the name Kim Alexis. There was a supermodel of the same name who, I believe, was able to force the performer to change her stage name.
Subsequently she was known as Kim Angeli or Kim Acosta.
It may be off-topic slightly, but I have a friend whose name is Julie Meadows. She's not famous enough to sue, however. I've often wondered about what percentage of the guys she meets are familiar with the "other" Julie Meadows...
Haha. My favorite is Michelle Pfeiffer She can be seen in this little foreign flick:
If you look at the bottom left hand corner, you will see her name in the cast-list. It's probably not the one we're thinking about. But we can only imagine.

Yeah, you're prolly right on that one. I can't believe I forgot my favorit "almost" name Nikki Tyler. To me she was the only porno version that may have been hotter than the mainstream one (Nikki Taylor).

I was watching King of Queens and remembered Kevin James.
The movie garcon98 mentioned is a German production. It features the retired German porn actress Jeanny Bee (lower left and upper right backcover shots).
It's possible, but probably wouldn't matter. Let's recall that if Davy Jones wasn't a Monkee, then David Jones would never have changed his name to David Bowie.
The courts are bizarre on this issue. If you name is McDonals, don't try to open a bar/food service establishment using your name without some major legal hassles. The Oak Park legal team will be all over your ass... even if your name isn't McDonald, but something close like McArthur, you still might find yourself hassled.
Her only defense is that it is her real name, and that might not be enough to save her should the supermodel wish to make it an issue.

It´s Jo Ann Crawford. Ironic, eh?
No, seriously... according to the IMDb, it´s Cynthia Ann Crawford.

I think the bottom line is that if the original Cindy Crawford WANTS to make it an issue she probably could and most likely would win. I'm sure original Cindy has lot more money/clout and so do the companies she works for. In the end the green always wins.
Cindy Crawford pornstar JKP contract girl, Hey this is cindy and I am going to be doing anal next month in one of my feature films for jkp! If you have any questions about anything at all feel free to ask me, or Email me at tigereyezxcstacy@aol.com
This is the first time I heard a female pornstar is using her real name, aside from Janine Lindemulder. I can't blame Cindy Crawford (the pornstar) for using her real name because it will get her more exposure than if she would use another name.
