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.

这张照片令人心酸：照片里的老人60岁，曾是《花花公子》模特，如今她沦落街头，靠表演柔术乞讨。

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·麦肯纳，上世纪七十年代，她在演艺圈被称为“蜘蛛女”，如今她只能在密西根的大街上卖艺来维持自己的生活。

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.

曾经麦肯纳靠着自己灵活的四肢成为明星，不幸的是当优雅不在，这位柔术家只能在街头的角落里卖艺乞讨。

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年麦肯纳参加节目“The Gong Show”为观众所熟知，节目中她用自己的身体打结，惊艳了所有观众。她也曾出现在杂志《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.

之后，麦肯纳年事渐高，她也因此经历生活的艰难——从一个《花花公子》模特沦落到在密西根街头行乞。

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.

麦肯纳手中举着牌子，上面写着“60岁，需要工作，好心人请帮帮忙。” 麦肯纳因脊柱侧凸、器官狭窄遭受病痛折磨，她说运气好的话自己每天能要到7美元。

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

接受MLive采访时，她说：“我只是不知道自己如何沦落至此的。”
