boys r them - a history of breakthrough/debut films starring boys and prostitutes

risky business is one
"Howard went on to direct several TV movies. His big theatrical break came in 1982 with Night Shift featuring soon-to-be stars, such as Michael Keaton and Shelley Long" - from wikipedia.
boys r us - got me the sale but not being made- though i've forgotten, i need to send it to tina fey and amy - whomever their agents are. amy shiffman could do this, actually.

so - i know there are others, but it suddenly seemed like a trend to me. Klute- though i don't know that that was breakthrough, he was an established director, but it made a star of jane fonda, made her a 'serious ' actress. that's another category for movies starring prostitutes, that it makes stars of the women - or 'loose' women - donna reed in from here to eternity, ingrid bergman of course in notorious -
atlantic city - definitely put susan sarnaon and luois malle ont he americamn map
