Such a nasty word

Remembering pioneering woman broadcast journalist Jessica Savitch who was taken prematurely in an automobile accident. I recollect the gutsy interview of Elizabeth Ashley after she had written a tell-all autobiography revealing her sexual exploits and romantic affairs. The interview suddenly ended when Savitch asked, "Aren't you what my mother used to call a slut?" Is there a better non-biblical word for such a woman?
