Actress Surprised to Find Her Photo Advertising Nevada Strip Club

Scottapril Actress April Scott's IMDb credits include a briefcase model on "Deal or No Deal," Girl in Bikini on "Entourage" and Daisy Duke in a direct-to-DVD prequel of "Dukes of Hazzard." Now Scott's uncredited turn as model for a Nevada strip club has prompted her to file a right-of-publicity lawsuit against Déjà Vu, Inc., which owns the Little Darlings Totally Nude Gentlemen's Club.

According to this complaint, filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the club used Scott's photograph in an advertisement without her permission. She claims the ad has caused her irreparable damage to her professional reputation and livelihood and is seeking $750 for each unauthorized use plus unspecified damages.

The exhibits attached to the complaint contain a copy of the ad, but it's dark and indecipherable. Perhaps court document reproduction quality is to blame. Or maybe not.

She's represented by Steven Sokoloff of Cyrus & Cyrus in Beverly Hills.
