Daryl Hannah narrowly avoided being sold as a sex slave in Las Vegas in the late 1970s and is now coming forward about her experience to help others forced into prostitution. Can you imagine?

The actress, who has joined forces with international human rights groups to help free sex slaves, reveals she was studying theatre in Los Angeles when she leaped at the chance to model for an album cover in Sin City.

The 46-year-old told America's Most Wanted that she quickly realized the modeling trip was a scam and she was about to be forced into a sex-slave ring.

Hannah told show host John Walsh she and another girl escaped out a window and fled back to Los Angeles, but she has always been haunted by the memory of how close she came to becoming forced into prostitution.

And now the environmentalist and humanitarian is using her movie dollars to help those who weren't so lucky after learning there are more than 14,000 girls smuggled into America annually from Eastern Europe and Asia who become part of secret sex rings.

Interesting, since she was in a movie about prostitution recently.

Guess even crusaders need to pay the bills.

or she was drawn to the script to work out her past. I'm sure that she buried that experience deep within her...no one likes to think that they were almost sold into prostitution - sex slavery.

It must have been really hard for her to go to castings after that experience. She's got balls. And she fucked John John!

yeah... drawn to the script... have you read any of the reviews? Okay, maybe it was just badly executed, but still.
