Star Mistaken for a Prostitute
12/16/07
24 star Mary Lynn Rajskub was once mistaken for a prostitute when she
was an out-of-work actress in Los Angeles.
The comedienne, who plays Chloe in the hit drama series, had to flee
after stumbling into an "audition" with a pimp, by accident.
She explains, "I was wandering aimlessly wearing ratty pajama
bottoms, a top, metallic wraparound sunglasses and a dirty lavender
backpack.
"A girl wearing a tank top and short shorts stopped me and asked,
`Are you looking for work?'
"I was, sort of. I had just finished a role in the Kirstie Alley
sitcom Veronica's Closet. `Come with me,' said the girl.
"I followed her into a doughnut shop, where I was introduced to a
man dressed in all black and chunky gold jewelry, and realized he was a
pimp.
"'My name is Charles, but people call me Lawrence,' he said,
`We're in the adult entertainment industry.'
"I said, `I'll think about it,' and ran out of the shop."
