Ilona Staller

Hungarian-Italian porno star elected to the Italian parliament in 1987 after campaigning topless. She once worked briefly for the Hungarian secret police as a spy, using sex to try to elicit secrets from a visiting American politician. The episode lasted a few days and ended with the man's suicide, according to her autobiography "Confessions." She left parliamentary politics on 29 March 1991.

Under her stage name of "La Cicciolina," Staller's credentials include such films as "Chocolate Banana." She married New York artist Jeff Koons in Hungary on 1 June 1991 for nine months and had one son, Ludwig Maximilian. At a New York show in December 1993 Koons exhibited paintings of them in various sex acts.

With high legal fees for her child-custody battle with Koons, Staller made her first stage appearance in years on 15 August 1995 because she needed the money, baring her breasts before an audience of 2,000 at a water park.
