Where are they now - Porn Stars from the past.

[ziyingoliver]

Eric Hanson, It says he's doing real estate in Florida, Although I wish him all good, I 'm so desperate to see him in gay porn again

[CowboyBob]

The amazing Gordon Grant. Filled the screen in the 1970's with his masculinity. Part Native American. He is gay and currently lives with his companion in Los Angeles.

[CowboyBob]

Johnny Dawes. A curly blonde favorite from the early 1980's. He was born in 1955 and died from complications of AIDS in July 1989. He was also knows as Brian Lee. He is pictured here with another favorite, Randy Page, who disappeared from sight.

[CowboyBob]

I loved Casey Donovan. Jacked off a lot to him. Real name Cal Culver, was born in November 1943. Died in Florida in August 1987 from complications of AIDS. Boyfriend was mainstream actor Tom Tryon..... watch the film "I Married a Monster From Outer Space" to see him.

[myles2go]

He had more than a stern look - at an award ceremony, he was honored as "the bitchiest pornstar" or something to that effect. The award was then officially retired LOL. RIP Matt.

At least he won the last bitchy award. Still, He was Hot! I do miss him.

[Jer20Sey23Hud20Son23]

My favorite has always been matt Gunther. I remember purchasing my first edition of Men Magazine and I saw him. He had a stern look that could be fun. I miss him. Here are some pics I have of him. Thank you for this thread that brings back memories for me. Take care!

Myles

i oved matt to he passed from aids also

[Jer20Sey23Hud20Son23]

Mike Henson. I believe he has passed, whether from AIDS or a motorcycle accident I'm not sure. I am very sure he has passed though. I wanted to be a porn star after I saw him in action; however life had other plans for me.

mike did have hiv but he also had a herion problem. he was cleaned for awhile but he slipped and overdosed and passed away.

[aagold76]

I was always fond of Rydar Hanson and Mark Miller

[aagold76]

Steve Henson and Race Jensen

[aagold76]

Chad Johnson and Wess Daniels

[aagold76]

Brock Hunter and Max Archer- Brock was in Holograph and Max did a jo scene in some Hawaiian film....

[Hot White Trash]

All these old people. Its like a TCM of porn.

[MJEH89]

All these old people. Its like a TCM of porn.

I think it's a reflection of where the gay porn industry has gone. The seventies, eighties, and nineties offered a chance to build a name and career recognition. The movies were run in porn theaters and then sold in stores or through the mail. What is it today? 20-minute clips on a website full of almost nameless guys who are sometimes here today and gone (from the business) tomorrow (Sean Cody/Corbin Fisher). Faceless dudes who jerk off for the webcam. Anonymous boys who are "experimenting" (Broke Straight Boys). Longevity is the key to notoriety, popularity, and "fame". Today it's just instantaneous gratification (no pun intended).

[Hot White Trash]

Axel Garret is a cutie who was in some older videos I've seen on AEBN. Any news about him?

[MercuryJones]

Looking through some of this stuff led me to learn that Paul Carrigan had a son who passed away. He includes photos with his son on his social media page. It's very weird to see his photos with a teenage son next to his porn career photos.

[bbjohn]

The beautiful Jeff Quinn was another gay4pay-er? My heart is broken!

[buckguy]

A lot of porn stars from the past started the rumor they died in an accident or of AIDS. The truth is many of them are alive and they didn't want their past to reveal itself as they try to live normal lives now. The "where are they now" reporters can have it's disadvantages when you're trying to forget your past.

Here's the incredible Eric Manchester. A 1980's icon and gay for pay who always topped. Currently married to a woman and has 3 grown children.

All very doubtful. Most of the AIDS deaths have been documented with obits. Manchester escorted on and off into the 2000s (with ads and semi-recent looking pics) and was frequently scene in hustlery places like Polk St in SF during the 90s. People on various boards have seen him in the last decade. Looking a little haggard but still like Eric Manchester. Usually identified as gay, sometimes bi.

[Monniejo8]

Has Anyone Seen Jeremy Tucker

[aagold76]

yes- love Jeremy Tucker

[Monniejo8]

I Mean Where Is He??? Did He Stop Doin Porn??

[aagold76]

I imagine since he hasn't done a movie in about 10 years.

[ace3316]

Chance from An American in Prague. Yummy.

Chance was very yummy in that film! He was also a nice guy to correspond with via email when it was offered through good old dial up connections.

What happened to Ken Ryker?

[ruxxx]

This is my all time favorite pic of Tim. It was taken very early in his career. From a Falcon loop I believe.

Yes, that would be Bullet Videopac 03 "Sailor Beware" - 1980

[eecindc]

what about Mike Branson and Drew damon from Falcon? They were two of my favorite tops

[TalkDirtyToMe]

This will sound odd but back in the 90's I had a small obsession with Paul Morgan. He was a cute little versatile actor who worked everywhere under 4 different names and the 'retired'. I always wondered what happened to him.

[knobby]

I have always wanted to know what happened to Billy Brandt and Steve Henson (80s porn)?

[Marion]

Wow, I was surprised to see the name Randy Page. Randy was one of my favorites from way back in the day. Randy, to my surprise, showed up one weekend dancing at The Gaiety Theater in New York. He looked as young as he did in all of his videos.

I would add the name Marc Wallace who did a whole lot of straight porn but he did one gay video in which he bottomed. Marc was, back in the day, one of the few really attractive guys doing straight porn. He looks like a cross between Simon Rex and that guitar player for Aerosmith. Marc created a big scandal in the straight side of the biz as a result of question about his HIV tests.

[twinksforever]

Fans of gay videos know where Kristian Bjorn is now - behind the camera filming lots of hot guys. But where was he back in the 70s? In front of the camera, showing off his hot cock for Falcon!

[bric-a-brac]

Kristen was a hottie. However, his work in front of the camera dates to 1982/3 rather than the 70's.

[bbjohn]

Marion, Marc Wallace was so hot! Right up my alley. I rented so many str8 porns because he was in them. When I saw him bottom in a gay porn that was awesome. I only wish Jerry Butler would've gone over to the dark side when he was in his prime.

[TalkDirtyToMe]

Owen Hawk!! I miss him.

bbjohn, I thought some of the readers might like to know what Marc looked like:

[aagold76]

how could I have forgotten Doug Weston...??

[heroesnhunks]

I'd have to say on the bottom side of things... Derek Cameron, Matt Summers. Gotta love a hungry bottom with a talented mouth.

and on top... Mike Branson and add another vote for Ryan Idol.

[desmond]

Does anyone remember a film from late 60's early 70's of a guy making his first trip to America on a ship, I think he visits (weirdly) the UN? Very hot, can't think of the name. There's a party scene with some inspirational usage of an open-backed chaiir...

Also remember Peter Berlin:

[seven_sins]

Lee Ryder died of AIDS in 1991.

[freaq90]

I'd love to know what happened to Rick CHase. I only ever saw two of his films, but I've been hooked ever since.

It's been 13 years or so since I first discovered him and he's still my favourite porn star.

Love all of him, such an all-American look. I'd love to run my tongue over EVERY single inch of his delicious body.

I want to marry him.

[boxerdudeuk]

Lee Ryder died of AIDS in 1991.

Doesn't really get any hotter than that

[Hot White Trash]

Owen Hawk!! I miss him.

He still does porn, the death injection kind.

[bbjohn]

Thanks for the pics, bric-a-brac!

Lee Ryder was incredible in SCREEN PLAY. His scene topping Eric Ryan and Ryan's giving him an under the table handy are suh-weet!

[TalkDirtyToMe]

He still does porn, the death injection kind.

He gas been working more behind the camera. I haven't seen him in anything new in a couple of years.

[bric-a-brac]

This post isn't strictly up-to-date...but, I thought I'd mention two names out of the gay porn past who made a "return" to porn in the 90's. Jerry Douglas directed Derrick Stanton and Steve York in his 1997 video "Family Values". Both are still alive, which should count as something of a miracle.

p.s. York was never a looker...

[unbomec]

The top was Kyle Hazard. Now there was hearthrob for me. I saw the video.

[CowboyBob]

Wow, I was surprised to see the name Randy Page. Randy was one of my favorites from way back in the day. Randy, to my surprise, showed up one weekend dancing at The Gaiety Theater in New York. He looked as young as he did in all of his videos.

A few more pics of Randy Page. He was my first gay porn crush. He was one of those that disappeared from the scene and I would love to know what happened to him. Apparently he was difficult to work with according to big dicked Scott O'Hara. When they were filming "Winner Takes All" Randy complained about how long everything was taking and didn't want the cold water hose stuck up his butt.

I spanked the monkey to his scenes countless of times.

[CowboyBob]

Remember Roger? His heyday was the late 1970's to the mid 1980's. An Uber-masculine bottom fucked by some of the biggest gay porn stars at the time. Another heart throb of mine.

[CowboyBob]

What vintage porn star thread is complete without a few pics of John Holmes? Yes, he was gay for pay and only did a few gay videos, but that enormous dick is worth looking at.

[bric-a-brac]

^
I definitely prefer this look to his "superfly" look.

[tigerfan]

Don't forget Dick Fisk.. STR* porn..John Leslie

[MaleEroPainter]

Jude Collin. Where is he now? I didn't notice him when he was doing scenes for Randy Blue, because most of RB videos were borefests. But then when he started working for Falcon, Hot House, Jake Cruise and CockyBoys, he turned out to be a sex animal with passionate kissing and fucking. My favorite scene is him fucking Tory Mason. It was purely amazing to see him side fucking Tory till Tory almost came and beg him to stop. I hope he returns to do some more gay porn.

[blake08]

Has anyone seen the clip of Inch by Inch with Tony Stefano and Steve Henson?

I searched all over the net for awhile trying to find anything on these two guys!

So, I noticed on the IMDB site that Tony Stefano also performed/went by Tony Marconi. Go figure that I looked up the name on facebook, and there he was!
He must have moved to Italy and given up the lifestyle. The large profile pic sure looks like him!

I hope he is doing well and clean! His scenes in that movie are way hot. I only discovered him by watching the clips online. Good stuff!!!

Alas, I have no idea what happened to Steve Henson? Anyone have an idea?
