The actress herself says she is going to “stick to comedies.”
Lovelace whose real name is Linda Boreman came famous after starring int he 1972 porn movie, Deep Throat, years later she became a spokeswoman for an anti-pornography group

Anna Faris said she was humiliated when she had to break her no nudity clause for her new movie, The House Bunny, which hits theaters on Friday, August 22.
The actress who is in the September issue of Playboy magazine said that she had to go nude because of complications with her body double and she made sure she would only be seen from behind.
She says, “It was my first nude scene and it wasn’t supposed to be me. I had a body double and we had some complicating factors with her. It was sort of a last minute thing, where I said, ‘I’ll just go ahead and do this.’ I was really uncomfortable. This crew that I’d been working with, that knows me when I put on my producer hat, suddenly sees me naked. It was really humiliating.”
Anna Faris said she still feels a bit upset over unknowingly mocking actress Cameron Diaz in the movie Lost In Translation, in which she played a b-list actress.
When the movie came out in 2003 it was reported that the writer/director of the movie, Sofia Coppola, based the role of Kelly on Diaz.
She said , “That’s been really hard… I auditioned, without having read the script, pretty much exactly the way I played it in the movie. I filmed for only about a week, so I didn’t get that much one-on-one time with Sofia Coppola. When the movie came out eight or nine months later and these questions started coming, I felt blindsided. I felt defensive at first… I felt so terrible about the whole thing. I don’t think Sofia’s that vindictive”
Here is the cover for the September 2008 issue of Playboy Magazine which features Anna Faris on the cover (on newsstands this Friday, August 15).
The actress is on the cover to help promote her new movie The House Bunny, which is the first full length film to be allowed to shoot at the Playboy Mansion.
Even though Anna doesn’t go nude in the magazine she told Mark Malkin at E! that she was tempted too but her publicist told her not too, “I felt really sexy, I found myself totally getting into it. I was like, ‘Let’s just take it all off.’
On how she used to look: I felt unattractive, short and self-conscious about my body, and I would purposely emphasize that by doing odd things, I wore glasses, braces, odd hairdos and dumpy clothes…When I was a freshman I wore a Christmas-tree skirt as a cape. I couldn’t get any dates until senior year.
On getting in shape for The House Bunny: I was working out hard, my boyfriend was like, ‘Baby, you got to eat. You’re losing your butt.’
On shooting at the mansion: It was my first time there, It was surreal. There were randomly placed jars of baby oil but no babies that I knew of…It was great: peacocks, monkeys, hot girls and old men in pajamas! It was awesome.
