NEW YORK — Patricia Krentcil or “Tanning Mom,” as she has been dubbed by the tabloid machine, will make a cameo performance in Lucas Entertainment’s second season of the gay porn drama, “Kings of New York.”
Writer/director Marc told XBIZ that they “filmed the wine soaked and effervescent talent on Saturday.”
Each episode of “Kings of New York” features a mainstream celebrity who (with clothes on) participates in a story line that establishes the theme particular to that show. The series follows ruthlessly ambitious New Yorkers as they navigate their way to success. Previous cameo appearances include Andy Dick, Martin Samuel, Lady Bunny, Bianca Del Rio, Derek Saathoff and Derek Hartley.
Krentcil’s episode centers on the present degradation of celebrity where “talent, skill and ambition aren't necessities to fame,” Marc said.
In an apropos role, Krentcil plays the flippant owner of a tanning salon. The clientele, Johnny and Liam, drop by the salon to get a little color before hitting Fire Island for the weekend.
TMZ reported that Krentcil approached Vivid Entertainment prior to her deal with Lucas Entertainment with the intention of pursuing an adult acting career, but was turned down. According to Marc, Lucas Entertainment was not aware of Krentcil’s negotiations with Vivid or any other studios when they contracted her to appear in the show.
Krentcil earned her nickname and first headlines last year when she allegedly took her five-year-old daughter to a tanning salon in New Jersey, where it is illegal for children under the age of 14 to receive tanning salon services. Charges against Krentcil were dropped in February.
