Traci Lords Family
Traci Lords was born Nora Louise Kuzma in Steubenville, Ohio on May 7, 1968. Her father, Louis, was of Ukrainian descent and her mother, Patricia, was of Irish origin. Traci was raised along with her three sisters. Her father was an alcoholic and worked in the steel industry. He would always come home drunk and abuse her mother, which resulted in their divorce when Traci was seven years old. The girls were brought up by their mother in their grandparents’ house. Her mother started working part-time at Ohio University to make ends meet.
This was just the beginning of a difficult childhood that she had to endure. When she was 10, she was raped by a 16-year-old boy at the birthday party of a friend. When Traci was 12 years old, her mother started a relationship with her new boyfriend and moved to Lawndale, California, with her children. Her mother’s new boyfriend was no better than her father. He was a cocaine dealer and often molested Traci. Her mother broke up with him and moved on with another boyfriend. This time, Traci and her elder sister refused to accompany their mother. Traci attended Redondo Union High School in Redondo Beach, California. Her childhood experiences made her rebellious and she blamed her mother for her plight.
She got pregnant at the age of 14 and went in for an abortion without the knowledge of her mother. She then got a fake driver’s license by pretending to be 22, when she was just 15 and used it to apply for jobs. She initially worked as a babysitter and went on to pose for magazines like Velvet, Juggs, and Club. Eventually, she got an assignment with the Penthouse magazine’s 15th-anniversary issue. Around this time, she adopted the stage name, Traci Lords.
