Background:
If you put together a short list of the strangest porn films ever made, you must include at least one film starring peg leg porno pussy Long Jeanne Silver.
Although the events of her life are apocyrphal, they make for a great story. Jean Silver was born around 1958 in suburban Phoenix. Baby Jeanne was born without a fibula (smaller bone in the lower leg) a shortened foreleg and several missing toes. At age two her lower right leg was amputated, leaving a foot-long stump below her knee to accommodate a prosthesis.
Adolescent Jeanne quickly developed into a wayward child, and was sent to reform school at age fifteen, after seven burglary arrests. While in reform school she learned the tricks of the "world's oldest profession," hooking and stripping in the Phoenix area and elsewhere. In 1976, Jeanne made her way to New York and fell in with the roughie crowd. Jeanne's first porno role was a light part in the Shaun Costello enema classic
Waterpower. The next year, she showed up at the front door of the Mitchell Brothers in San Francisco, offering herself for any available sex work. Rival porn impresario Alex DeRenzy quickly scooped her up for this film bearing her name. This, combined with a rather rather scandalous centerfold in
Cheri gave her instant recognition. Jeanne took up residence in biker-pornographer Carter Stevens's studio, the "Slut Motel." She appeared in about twenty roughies in New York, as well as continuing to do films and sex shows at the Melody in Times Square and the O'Farrell in the Tenderloin. By 1985 Long Jeanne was out of the business. Reports say she either returned to rural Arizona to raise a family, or that she went to school to become a physical therapist.
Jeanne was a better-than-average blonde for her time, willowey but jaded, as one might expect of a young criminal born into the flower generation and maturing in the "Me" generation. She was a switch, but seemed to prefer the dominant side. And of course her calling card was the stump, which she billed as "The only penis larger than John Holmes." She says the stump is mostly skin covering bone, but that the nerve endings are very sensitive, and that she derives great physical pleasure from using it on any willing orifices.

...and one unidentified guy who "bats for the other team," "puts from the rough," "walks with Skurt Lockwood," you get the idea.
Plot:
No real plot, it's shot documentary-style where Jeanne introduces us to various experiences in her life. Each scene has a short intro, followed by some sex. Heck, this may be the first gonzo porno ever.
Rating:
WHY? WHY? WHY? is a rating of this freakshow necessary? It's a whore stump-fucking other people. Jeanne comes off as a cool chic, somewhat emblematic of the 70's; but...y'know...whores lie.
N.B. whenever possible, I have drawn a link to the peg leg. I know the film is 30 years old, but how many pretty amputee porn whores do you see in a lifetime?
You can buy the film from
