Al Pacino, Hollywood's Least Likely Prostitute

Whenever the economy dips, you resourceful young people turn to unusual outlets in search of sustenance.  Perhaps you wait tables and submit scripts until you are old enough to recognize what failure is.  Perhaps you make and sell your own jewelry, or record and produce a rap single at Aunt Trudy’s house, or commit insurance fraud.  Or you could do what Al Pacino did:

“At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only asset I had – my body. An older woman traded food and housing in return for sex. I woke mornings not really loving myself.”

Remember: ”You gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.”  Scarface director Brian De Palma probably had to do a few takes on that line.  ”Come on, Al, say it like you mean it.”  

The Godfather actor spent some time in his family’s native Sicily in 1960 after dropping out of school to pursue his big screen dreams.

He found himself struggling to make amends on his travels and decided to sell his body to keep a roof over his head.

Al Pacino, though: a prostitute.  ”You were supposed to be Senator Pacino, Governor Pacino.”  OK, I’m done with that.  The real question: peppy hooker with a can-do attitude and a heart of gold, or ice cold call boy with a heart of, uh, business?
