Lindsay Lohan for all of them.
Every May the movie world turns its direction to Cannes. Everyone wants to walk the red carpet and movie stars from all over the world come for their time in the spotlight. There are several other actresses that come also, but for an entirely different purpose. Cannes is the time of the year when actresses who have hit some harder times but have a high level of fame and still some kind of beauty audition to be what they call yacht girls for the summer. Cannes is where they try to find the guy that will make them their yacht girl. This is going to focus on three or so actresses who have turned to this road. Once you come down this road it is tough to get off.
The first actress is easy She used to be a B+ movie actress who made some bad choices. Couldn't get a part and one May was convinced to come over. She is actually one of the few who enjoyed it the first few years. She was young and still getting offers from guys in their 30's and 40's. She was making way more than she made as an actress and having the time of her life. Now though it is getting harder to make the same kind of money and when she does find a man it is usually some guy in his 60's or older. The rest don't want her because she has been around for too many seasons.
Another actress who has made it off the yacht system but will probably be back is this former B+ television actress. She first came to Cannes a few years ago and was caught up in the excitement. She found a young rich guy right away and thought it was going to be great. The drugs were great, the guy provided the kind of sex she loved and she wanted to party all summer. After about a month the guy had found someone younger and the actress found herself strung out and then she got lucky and met a big world famous celebrity and he got her out of the cycle and the next thing you know she is back in Hollywood.
A slew of reality stars have tried to join in the parade but its harder for them because the men like to brag and its much easier to brag about someone who was on a hit television show or was a star in the movies than some reality show no one has heard of. One reality show actress who did make it for awhile was on Real World. She had been very popular on the show and men in Europe knew who she was and she lasted a season or two before getting strung out and then had no takers.
There is the British reality star/actress who is always available but only picks one guy and controls her partying. She loves it and says that three months in the south of France pays for her entire year of living. She tries to have a regular boyfriend the rest of the year, and always manages to break up just after Easter.
Don't think this has been going on just the past few years either. One of the greatest acting legends of all time made her fortune doing the same thing way back in the day of old Hollywood. Everyone talks about her with awe. That is their dream.
Crazy Days and Nights
That Michelle chick from the Las Vegas Real World for the reality star....that's all I got.
I was thinking Tara Reid for #1
I'm stumped. I know it's cheating, but I'm just going to call Natasha Gregson Wagner and get it straight from the horse's mouth....
Yeah, all I can think of is Linds and Tara Reid.
Katie Price as the British reality star/ actress?
Number one is totally Tara Reid, she was just photographed leaving a yacht party at Cannes holding hands with some 60 year-old guy who is the president of a jewelry company:
Well Played, Tara Reid | Dlisted
Number 3, could it be that one chick who was in the firefighter movie with Joaquin Phoenix, Jacinda something? Wasn't she on the Real World London?
#1 sounds like Tara Reid.
#3 is probably Trishelle Canatella from The Real World: Vegas season. I went to the same college as she did, and while I personally didn't know her, I knew several sorority women who hated her. They called her "Trash-hell" and complained about her sleeping with their boyfriends or men they had crushes on.
As for the last one, I'll guess Zsa Zsa Gabor. But she isn't a legend, but stories about her being a courtesan back in the day have been spread around.
Zsa Zsa is so a legend!

Katie Price isn't an actress, and Kelly Brook isn't a reality star. Plus she's gay, apparently. The British one has me stumped. I can't think of one Brit actress who is also a reality star.
^Someone who hosts a reality show maybe? I don't know many Brit reality shows other than NTM which last time I saw it was hosted by Elle, so I can't think of anyone either. Have there been any actresses on Celebrity BB or that other crap Survivor-type show where they dump them in Oz?
ETA: I just googled and found a story about an actress called Samantha Barks, who I've never heard of, but she was discovered on an Andrew Lloyd Webber reality show "I'll Do Anything" about finding an actress to star in his next show. Has anyone famous come out of that?
