I don't know about Donna Reed, never heard about any "nude" photos...
[I've always thought of Donna Reed as extremely sexy, she was a real
"looker"...]
But in another case there were nude pictures of a supposed very young Joan
Crawford, you can see these in the book _Hollywood Babylon II_. There is
also a rumoured "stag" porno film she did in the mid - 20's when she had
just arrived in Hollywood, supposedly MGM bought up all the copies of this
when her star began to rise (around 1928 - 29). Supposedly this film
exists, hidden in a vault somewhere...
None of this Crawford stuff was spoken of when she was alive, it came out
after her 1977 death...

Secrets and Thighs
A history of celebrity sex tapes, real and fake, from Joan Crawford to Paris
Hilton
by Ed Halter
December 3 - 9, 2003
[...]
The distant seeds of celebrity porn took root in 19th-century literary
erotica attributed to famous authors, such as the mock-epic Don Leon,
claimed to have been penned by Lord Byron as a record of his notorious
exploits, or the explicitly homosexual Victorian novel Teleny, long said to
have been written by Oscar Wilde. After Hollywood invented the movie star in
the early 20th century, Tijuana Bibles satisfied a new desire to see screen
deities stripped bare. These crudely drawn comic-book leaflets depicted
stars like Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, and Clark Gable in various farcical
trysts.
Hardcore porn films have existed at least since the teens, circulated
through private clubs and wealthy collectors. Ancient Hollywood gossip has
it that Joan Crawford acted in several early stag films, including some with
lesbian scenes. But one of the earliest star-attributed films to circulate
widely was a nameless one-reel nudie loop purporting to depict a young
Marilyn Monroe, who would have shot it around 1948, prior to her posing nude
for the inaugural issue of Playboy. In the film, a lone young woman does a
striptease, rolls an apple across her chest, and then sips a soda. Later
dubbed The Apple Knockers and the Coke, it was distributed to colleges and
cinemas in the early '70s by Grove Films, packaged in a collection of
vintage erotic shorts and experimental works like Carolee Schneemann's
Fuses. Today, it's recognized that Apple Knockers and several other
so-called Monroe porn films depict another early Playboy model named Arline
Hunter.
One Monroe stag film remains in dispute, however. Also dated from 1948, this
unnamed 16mm hardcore short shows a Monroe-ringer screwing a mustached man
on a couch. According to a 1980 Penthouse cover story, a print was
discovered that year by a Swedish photographer and subsequently publicized
in adult magazines and tabloids worldwide. "Here, in grainy celluloid,"
Penthouse wrote next to copious frame-enlargements, "may well be the still
unglamorized sex goddess the public never knew, before plastic surgeons,
stylists, and designers transformed her into the mythical Marilyn Monroe.
It's a thought to fire the imagination of every man who ever dreamed of her,
a fantasy come to fruition." Another print of probably the same film
garnered headlines in industry trades when it surfaced at a Spanish festival
for film collectors in 1997. Those who argue the actress is Monroe point to
declassified FBI files from 1965 detailing that Joe DiMaggio offered $25,000
for a print of a "French-type" movie depicting Monroe "in unnatural acts
with an unknown male." Its authenticity seemed likely enough for Hollywood's
Erotic Museum to purchase a print, now kept in its collection alongside
artwork by Picasso and Tom of Finland.
During adult cinema's first boom in the '60s and '70s, similar celeb-porn
urban legends took hold, many of which persist today. "Rumors of famous
stars appearing in stags were impossible to squelch," blue-movie historian
Jack Stevenson writes of this era, "because the public wanted so much to
believe them." Playing to these desires, a number of star sex films were
distributed through 8mm home catalogs and porn theaters, including silent
loops allegedly depicting Jayne Mansfield and Barbra Streisand. The
so-called Streisand film merely shows a young woman with a large nose having
sex on camera; though available copies have become murky through generations
of cheap dubbing, any resemblance seems far-fetched. Several hardcore gay
films were made around this time starring Joe Dallesandro, according to film
critic Dennis Dermody, who claims he has obtained video copies that clearly
show Little Joe's telltale tattoo. Another gay stag is rumored to show
B-actor Chuck Connors, of '50s TV series The Rifleman, although reports vary
on the actual contents of the film.
But the true blossoming of celebrity skin flicks begins in the late 1970s,
when the advent of home video recording engendered a new culture of
underground tape-trading and pirated video, according to Hadrian Belove, one
of the owners of the Los Angeles video store Cinefile, which specializes in
rare titles, including real and imaginary star smut. "I don't think there
was ever a time when people weren't tape trading," says Belove. "I remember
Jack Valenti back in 1979 saying that taping off television was going to
destroy the film industry. If there were people taping things, there's
people trading things."
Like the image quality itself, the line between business and bootlegs was
blurry. "It was such a free-for-all in the early '80s that most of those
tapes we think of as legit were bootlegs," says Belove. "There was a hunger
for stuff on video and there was no industry to police it at all, and so any
serious bootlegger could just put it out. That includes horror, porn, all
kinds of weird stuff like that." Some of the early celebrity porn titles
were older films made before current stars were famous, like a 1970
Sylvester Stallone softcore film called The Party at Kitty and Stud's,
quickly re-released on video as Italian Stallion following his success with
Rocky. Though hyped up to true porn status by tape collector legends,
Stallone's nude scenes could easily play on HBO today. Rarer traded titles
include a violent rape-incest-themed 1973 "roughie" featuring Spalding Gray,
The Farmer's Daughter.
With home video came the home video camera, and thereby a new twist emerged:
the samizdat-distributed celebrity home movie-the Paris Hilton tape's direct
ancestor. The earliest instance is a lurid tape made in the late '70s by
Jayne Kennedy and Leon Isaac Kennedy, known for their roles in
blaxploitation titles and television. According to Don (who preferred not to
give his last name) from Video Search of Miami, a longtime purveyor in
celebrity sex videos, the Kennedys title was somehow released to the public
by Leon after Jayne broke off their marriage, and remains a "big seller."
Like many old traded tapes, the Kennedys' video is now distorted almost to
abstraction, but the fisting scene no doubt helps it stay popular.
Video Search of Miami also distributes a half-hour tape called Chuck Berry's
Home Movies, in which a man who sounds like the rock pioneer urinates on a
woman in a tub while farting loudly, and the rock-legendary Go-Go's tape,
which doesn't quite qualify as true celeb porn. "It's from the early '80s,"
says Don, "and the Go-Go's themselves aren't actually naked. It's sort of
backstage stuff and you've got them getting f*cked up and the guys around
them getting naked." Another fame-culture twist is provided by a tape
available at Cinefile as Steve Vai's Biggest Fan! Said to be a video love
letter to the Whitesnake guitar god, it shows a young woman masturbating on
camera for Vai, at one point performing tricks with a candle. The fan's
obsession serves as stand-in for the absent star himself; in this way, it
functions as the Heavy Metal Parking Lot of erotica.
But tape trading went even further mainstream in the next decade. "The
Internet was the biggest explosion of all this, and it was simply from
people being able to contact each other," remembers Belove, "because before
this, you simply had mail order catalogs." Whereas trading had occurred
within relatively small circles of collectors, and tapes took years to
travel via word of mouth, "now if something gets out," says Belove, "the
time it takes to spread is no time at all." This was illustrated
dramatically by the last decade's string of celebrity sex-video scandals,
stoked by the rise of competitive entertainment news and the burgeoning
online porn industry. The Rob Lowe 1988 hotel tapes re-emerged via Internet
tape traders in the early '90s, according to trader Mike Plante, editor of
Cinemad magazine. Tonya Harding and Jeff Gillooly's so-called "Wedding Night
Tape" and the much lauded Pamela Anderson-Tommy Lee tape both became so
widely available that each party decided to release them officially. The
latter also inspired a made-for-release hardcore video starring fellow
Mötley Crüe member Vince Neil and a professional porn actress, Janine.
As broadband has spread, nearly all the videos mentioned above-plus others
like Simon Rex's gay jerk-off video, Pamela's unreleased sex tapes with
Poison's Bret Michaels, or Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane's films (made
infamous by Paul Schrader's Auto Focus)-have gained new life online, sold as
files on countless porn sites or downloaded off Kazaa as easily as the
latest 50 Cent MP3. But just as in the day of the Tijuana Bibles, demand
exceeds supply, and numerous purported videos of R. Kelly or various cast
members of Star Trek: The Next Generation turn out to be mere porn-industry
look-alikes or Celebrity Sleuth-style split-second clips from obscure nonsex
roles. "In almost all of these," says Plante, "you hear about it, and it's
described a certain way, and it sounds amazing, and it always fails to live
up to expectations."
Now, the ease and reach of peer-to-peer networks mean that fakes and
halfhearted bits of reality circulate endlessly, despite their unsatisfying
qualities. But transcending mere prurience, new technologies increasingly
feed and foster voracious desires to look ever closer-as far as the cameras
will go. In this regard, it's not coincidental that the Hilton tape was shot
with the same night vision as recent Iraq battle footage, or that it spread
virally, like the ghastly Daniel Pearl video. The hunger for forbidden
knowledge, whether of sex or death, remains constant."
