The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz (5 page)

June 1971, with another early girlfriend.

On the beach in Miami, Florida.

One of my earliest publicity shots, when I was still known as Ron Hyatt.

A great publicity shot that Hollywood Video used.

Teaching two girls how to canoe down the Delaware River. I earned a Boy Scout Merit Badge for it and I still go canoeing every summer.

This layout, which I did in 1980, was a period piece.

John Holmes acting as my gay lover.

Some early porn flicks had elaborate costumes—here I am in character for
Pink Lagoon
(a Gourmet Collectors film), shot in Hawaii.

By 1984 I was considered very knowledgeable in the world of adult film, so Adrian Lynne asked me to be a consultant on the film
9½ Weeks
. Kim Basinger is on the right.

With a young Jim Carrey and Freddy Asparagus at the Comedy Store in L.A.

Sam Kinison was a good friend of mine. We always had a blast.

I like to think that I can transform myself into almost any character, and here I am on the set of
Caged Fury
with James Hong.

With Adam Rifkin on the set of
Bone Chillers
, which ABC-TV played on Saturday mornings. I played Blister Face.
