Famed 'Deep Throat' Director Passes Away

| [ director ] [ career spotlight ] [ expired ] |

 Legendary adult filmmaker, Gerard Damiano, died on Saturday from natural causes. Damiano was 80 years old when he succumbed to complications from a stroke.
Though perhaps best known for making the highest earning adult film, Deep Throat (1972), which grossed $600 million on a shoe-string budget, Damiano saw little of that money. He also directed The Devil in Miss Jones (1973) along with several other well-known, golden age era classics.
The quintessential American porn director didn't start his career as such. In fact, born to an Italian-Catholic family, Damiano served four years in the Navy as an X-ray technician and worked as a hairdresser in the Bronx before discovering he had knack for directing porn. According to the Ft. Myers News-Press, while running his own beauty parlor in New York City:

 Paul Little, more conspicuously known as Max Hardcore, has been sentenced to 46 months in prison on federal charges for "distributing obscene videos through the mail and the Internet."
Little was also fined $7,500, the minimum fine allowable by law, while Max World Entertainment was fined $75,000, plus an additional $5,000 in "special assessments". The famous adult director/producer was charged with a total of 10 counts, while his company received an additional 10 counts. US District Judge Susan G. Bucklew has placed Max Hardcore's company on five years probation and has ordered Little to serve a three years probation after his release from prison.
Oh, if you happen to try going to Max Hardcore's web site Maxhardcore.com, you are greeted with a big red "Forfeited" stamp and the following message from our government:
This website has been forfeited to the Unites States Government pursuant to the conviction of Paul F. Little, a.k.a “Max Hardcore” and Max World Entertainment for violations of 18 United States Code § 1461, 1462 and 1465

Interview with B Skow on the Nikki Jayne Experiment
|
|
| [ vivid ] [ director ] [ hot release ] [ interview ] |
| |
 Back in 2007, a leggy, wide-eyed blonde with a British purr took the adult world by storm in Gazzman's Initiation of Nikki Jayne (Harmony Films), in which the first-time performer did more dirty things than most seasoned porn stars will do spanning an entire career. Mind you, this was her first adult film - she was only 21 years old at the time - and she was taking a DP and cum-swapping like a champ. Now, much to the delight of fans, Nikki Jayne has resurfaced and this time she'll be calling the shots as the newest Vivid contract performer.
Shooting of Jayne's first adult film since her 2007 debut - B. Skow's Nikki Jane Experiment - starts in just 10 days! I've managed to take the popular Vivid director away from his busy schedule for a chat session.

 Wicked Pictures writer/director/performer Stormy Daniels and Joy King, Wicked's VP of special projects, will be featured in a candid interview on AMCTV's Shootout. For anyone who may not be familiar with the show:
Hosts Peter Guber and Peter Bart welcome Hollywood's biggest stars and power brokers to discuss their careers, their latest projects and the industry.
Previous guests have included Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski, Kevin Costner, Geoffrey Rush, Ethan Hawke, Bill Maher and a whole bevy of powerful Hollywood players. Getting an interview on this show is a big deal, considering the historically tenuous relationship Hollywood has had with the adult world. The interview will air this Sunday, November 4th, at 11 AM / 10 AM CST, but you can catch a sneak peak on AMCTV's web site.
