My mother of all people knows everyone on that list I mentioned. And she hate sporn.

I doubt this statement. Either you have mentioned these names to her in the past or your are just lying. In statistics, that's called "poisoning the pool." My father has a DVD of Misty Beethoven, which is arguably the "best" porno ever produced, and I doubt he could name a single person in that film...or even know that "Henry Paris" was a flashy disguise for Radley Metzger.

And no I don't want Ron Jeremy as the "icon" but he is whether we like it or not very well known. This is what we're talking about is famous and name recognition. Jamie Gillis isn't that well known outside of porn today.

Babycakes, you just proved my point. Ask any afficionado of "classic porn" and they will tell you Jamie Gillis is held in much higher regard than The Hedgehog. But his name has been conscripted to anonymity. "Star" to a very limited group of people, but the rest of the world does not care.



Quote:

And why forget to mention Traci Lords? Because she is far and beyond the most successful one. She's been a working actress and mainstream for 22 years. Took acting lessons and voice and dance lessons after everything broke. It's mostly because of her for kicking down the doors in Hollywood that adult performers are accepted in the mainstream - U.S.

Filed under "more infamous than famous." If TL started porn when she was supposed to (age 18), she'd just be another footnote on IAFD. You do know about IAFD, right???



I appreciate your contributions to XPT, you're welcome here. but you're just dead wrong on this one. Maybe we can have angry classic porn sex sometime.
