Does any gay porno super sleuth know what movie the bottom photo is from with Bentley on his back? Thanks.
I think this is Falcon's Splash Shots 2: Memories of Summer. But I might be wrong. Sad either way. But I loved Jim Bentley back in the day. A true star.

He came across as a bit bitter on his yahoo group. He wrote a book about his life and porn career. He's bisexual, his male partner died of AIDS back in the mid 90s (Jim took care of him) and he had hard time finding something serious with a guy again after that and seemed bitter about the porn scene and gay dating scene. I think he went back to being women.

well, a lot of us were bitter bout the shit in that era: most notably AIDS, yes. (!0)
he does not come across as bitter at all today, genuine and earnest.

Oops, that last line should be "went back to being with women".

R7 That was several years ago, so hopefully he's happier today.

R12 Sad to hear he's on the streets, especially at his age. It's sadly not uncommon for retired porn stars to have tough times.
He was looking ok except for the balding in 2006. I think these are the most recent photo of him online.

Breaks my heart to see these guys down on their luck.
Must be rough to age in that profession, see the fans slowly slip away....
He is a survivor. bless his heart.

Apparently he was interviewed a few years back for the Chuck Holmes documentary Seed Money (I haven't seen it yet) so I'm guessing he wasn't homeless at that time. Hopefully it's a temporary thing for him and he gets back on his feet.

R13, strange to see him looking somber and alone, in view of all the flesh and organs and orifices he sampled. A veritable sex stew.

I looked at the video R1 and that photo/scene doesn’t seem to be from that film. Thanks anyway.

Jim Bentley is my go to for vintage porn actors. Getting It was one of the best I’ve seen.
