Are any of the early men of porn still alive

Rick Donovan

Last week on TCM underground “Fleshpot on 42nd Street”. Very low production value film from the 70s. Female prostitute working the Deuce, hanging out with drag queens, working the piers. A hot guy from Staten Island (Harry Reems, billed as Bob Watson was trying to make an honest woman out of her. He was killed in a hit and run, she hit the streets again. Hilarious camp.

R2 your choice was video and the question was pre video. Thank you for playing but your entry has been rejected.

OP: Eric Edwards is still alive. Very nice to the fans he corresponds with.

So are George Payne, Joey Silvera, Herschel Savage, Paul Thomas, Tyler Reynolds, Joe Buco and Carter Stevens (recently interviewed by The Rialto Report). Probably some others too that aren't popping to mind at the moment, I'm just including ones that started in the early to mid 70s.

As for the gays ones, Bruno and Mickey Squires.

Three more popped to mind: David Ruby, David Christopher, and Michael Gaunt.

Where’s Jon Martin? I thought he was so fucking hot.

R6 He's on facebook and interacts with fans. He gave an interview to The Rialto Report earlier this year.

I love it! Thanks r7!

Still so handsome too, thanks for the link r7. Maybe I’ll finally set up a Facebook acct.

Rick Wolfmier is alive and well in Kansas, but Mike Betts died long ago.

R8 and R9 If you both like 70s and 80s straight porn, quite a bit of the stars mentioned in this thread have been interviewed (some in audio as well) if you're interested.

Awww. They were a great couple.

Rick never failed to make me hard. One of the hottest men ever.

Why did you feel it necessary to omit commas in this list? I'm gonna guess pure laziness.

Even for DL, this is offensive.

Elder gays will remember (probably fondly) Paul Barresi. He is alive and well and currently working as a private investigator. He was recently hired by the Amber Heard legal team to dig up dirt on Johnny Depp. He is also suing, believe it or not, Trader Joe's (Google it.). Also, still hot at 72.

I used to love Sky Dawson from that era.

r15=John Travolta

R17 = Idiot

Richard Pacheco is still alive, isn't he? Wasn't he the one whose son had a podcast about what it was like to discover your father was in porn?

R13 the names were typed on separate lines. Datalounge reformatted, one can not edit when DL formats so no comma.

R15 Paul Barresi is still hot physically, but as a person, not so much. Would sell out anyone to make a buck.

R19 He is, yes. He put out a book called Hindsight, a while back. One of the better porn autobiographies, bur wasn't written in a conventional way. His kids are very supportive of him, they have no qualms about his porn past. His son even directed a porn last year.

Oh wow that is interesting R21

I have to say that I'm fascinated about those who made it through from those times.

Is Kevin Williams (Ted) still with us, from the early years of VHS porn?

Kevin Williams is still alive. He was discussed on here not too long ago after he was discovered to be a Trump supporter on his Facebook page.

Amazing picture r12

Double spacing is your friend. R20.

John Davenport was rumored to have died in a motorcycle accident but is alive.

He drowned a small town with his loads a few years back.

The most famous example of a classic disappearance R26 being a certain Supreme Court Justice 😂

Thank you R23

That's a shame that he's a Trumpster. At least his work still stands up well today.

Bruno lives in Miami.

he still looks hot too

Does he?

How old is he now R30?

R20, That's happened to me, also. Should have remembered. Sorry for the snark.

Any update on any of these?

Kevin Wiles, Chad Knight, Chase Hunter, John Rocklin, Dcota, Brian Estevez, Jeff Quinn, Brian Maxon, Jeff Converse, Steve Henson, Chad Johnson, Eric Manchester.

Marc Wallice was shunned by just about all of his friends in porn after testing HIV + and many people believed he was patient zero. He now is barely getting by on social security and lives in trailer park in Las Vegas for seniors.

It's good that he is still with us, but sad about his circumstances.
