前《花花公子》模特街頭乞討 一天賺7美元

This heartbreaking picture shows a 60-year-old former Playboy model who has resorted to showing off her bendy body in a desperate attempt to raise cash.

這張照片令人心酸：照片裏的老人60歲，曾是《花花公子》模特，如今她淪落街頭，靠表演柔術乞討。

Once dubbed the 'Spider Lady' during a spell of 1970's stardom, contortionist Christa McKenna now uses her skills to earn a living on the streets of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

老人名叫克里斯塔·麥肯納，上世紀七十年代，她在演藝圈被稱爲“蜘蛛女”，如今她只能在密西根的大街上賣藝來維持自己的生活。

In an unfortunate fall from grace, the contortionist begs for change on the corner of Wealthy St. using the flexible limbs that once made her a star.

曾經麥肯納靠着自己靈活的四肢成爲明星，不幸的是當優雅不在，這位柔術家只能在街頭的角落裏賣藝乞討。

Christa was well known for her appearance on 'The Gong Show' in 1979, where she wowed audience by tying her body in knots but she also appeared in Playboy magazine.

1979年麥肯納參加節目“The Gong Show”爲觀衆所熟知，節目中她用自己的身體打結，驚豔了所有觀衆。她也曾出現在雜誌《花花公子》中。

Since then, the aged entertainer has fallen on tough times - having gone from gracing the pages of Playboy to begging on the streets of Michigan.

之後，麥肯納年事漸高，她也因此經歷生活的艱難——從一個《花花公子》模特淪落到在密西根街頭行乞。

Holding a sign saying "60 years old: need a job, God and you - please help me", Christa - who suffers from scoliosis and stenosis - says she is lucky to get $7 a day.

麥肯納手中舉着牌子，上面寫着“60歲，需要工作，好心人請幫幫忙。” 麥肯納因脊柱側凸、器官狹窄遭受病痛折磨，她說運氣好的話自己每天能要到7美元。

Speaking to MLive, she said: "I just don’t know how I got to be this way.”

接受MLive採訪時，她說：“我只是不知道自己如何淪落至此的。”
