Shout-out to the real porn stars of the past. The iconic film Deep Throat will live on and go down in porn history as one of the most popular porn movies ever made, despite the passing of the individuals responsible for the cult following. If you’ve never seen it, google the 1972 hit and buy a copy or steal one out of your uncle’s porn stash.
Harry Reems, the starring male actor in Deep Throat died March 19, 2013 from pancreatic cancer. He was 65 years old. Linda Lovelace who was the starring female died in 2002 at age 53, but not before bashing porn. The producer of the Deep Throat, Gerard Damiano died in 2008 at age 80. This movie was so well known that in 2005 the documentary Inside Deep Throat was released. Another film starring Amanda Seyfried called Lovelace will be released this July.
Unlike his co-star Linda, Harry Reems embraced his past with eyes towards the future. He was born Herbert Streicher and grew up in Bronx, NY. Harry Reems lived a full life. After high school he joined the Marines before trying his hand at acting and eventually porn. Harry Reems made over 100 porn movies. Do you know what an accomplishment that is in the era before the little blue pill? Harry went from the bottom to the top more than once in his lifetime. He went from being a successful porn star to fighting alcoholism, homelessness and becoming a beggar, to rebounding as a devout religious married man who owned a successful real estate company.
The adult industry is similar to any other industry where the foundation of youth is the key to longevity. Put simply, good looks fade as the body starts to age. Use the lessons from his life to inspire greatness in yours. The sky’s the limit. Just because you did porn, escorted, modeled or stripped, doesn’t mean you can’t move on to something else if and when you choose. More importantly, understand that you can live a life of ups and downs without blaming sex work as the conduit of your unhappiness.
