Marc Stevens 1943 - 1989 (original) (raw)

| | | 13 movies | 11 Blu-ray releases | 13 DVD releases Marc Stevens (born February 9, 1943), the adult film star, memoirist, and erotic dance performer, was one of the pioneers of the adult film industry in the 1970s, the so-called "Golden Age of Porn." His 1975 biography, which some claim was ghost-written by his mother, was called "10 1/2" in an homage not only to Federico Fellini but to his male member. It was his ticket to the big time. Stevens now is largely forgotten, despite nostalgia about the Golden Age of Porn that can be seen in the success of the film "Boogie Nights" and "The Hedge Hog" Ron Jeremy's sudden emergence as a pop culture idol. Like many of his generation in the Golden Age of Porn (including male porn star extraordinaire John Holmes), he developed a serious drug problem. Like the increasingly unreliable Holmes, Stevens dropped out of the porn industry and, to support his habit, became involved in drug trafficking. Porn industry veteran Sharon Mitchell, a leading figure in the industry's fight to combat AIDS and promote safe sex practices for on-camera performers, reports that Stevens degenerated into a drug pusher and a pimp before dying a lonely death from AIDS, a broken and forgotten man. | | Average movie rating Based on 13 movies and 54 ratingsHighest rated: 7.1 / 10 Sensuous Flyg...
