'Deep Throat' star Harry Reems dies at 65 Just off the news wires ...  Harry Reems, the former porn actor best known for his role in "Deep Throat," has died at the age of 65. In a 2005 interview, Reems estimated that he starred in between 300 and 400 adult films. http://todayentertainment.today.com/_new...eems-dies-at-65?lite A true neck-lover. | |

He was a legend. Or at least a famous name. Smeared by association for his participation in porn. The article makes him sound like a nice, regular person. He offered help to Linda Lovelace, even after she testified against him in a porn trial. | |

""Deep Throat" was the first porn film widely shown in theatres and made an estimated $600 million at the box office -- although Reems claimed he only received $800 for his role." Only received? Isn't this standard for any performer? And I wonder if anyone who was associated with the film made anywhere near $300 million - just the person who had the rights to the film. Also this article, at one point, wanders off track into the political realm of the Watergate scandal. Go figure what Harry had to do with that?  If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee.If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

Another piece of my history died with Reems, just like when Linda Lovelace died in '02. I'd seen plenty of 8mm loops, but the first full-length porn flick I ever saw was Deep Throat. How I saw it I think was pretty unique. It was a copy of a copy (maybe even from yet another copy) on a reel-to-reel video tape recorder hijacked by a friend of mine from a local TV station. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

Can't remember the name of the flick, but there was this "princess" character who looked like she was from the subcontinent and she was walking around in a fancy hotel suite complaining, "I want a MAN. I need a MAN!" Then Harry Reems shows up sort of accidentally and she grabs him and, well, you know ... That was back in the days when you could still buy music on vinyl. And you bought a ticket to go into the porn theatre and checked the seat carefully before you sat in it. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

Porn performer, yes. But in real acting, there's this thing called residuals, where you get a cut of the money that a movie makes. There's a base amount negotiated by the Screen Actors Guild, but if you're a big star you can negotiate it yourself. | |

You are correct. But I seriously doubt Harry belonged to the Screen Actors Guild. And besides people like the directors/actor of porn films, what actors actually get residuals from a porn production. Do you suppose Lily LaBeau & Lily Carter get residuals for the movie Waisteland? If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! Edited on Mar 22, 2013, 06:17am | |

I can't say for sure, but I would imagine that some performers today might have contracts that gets them residuals or some kind of cut of the profits, but certainly not the performers of the 70s. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

People that only know gonzo porn and don't care for any acting or stotyline might not care but I did and to me Harry was one of the best. The guy could play almost any role, actually act and be believable and was a great sex performer as well. My condolensces are with his family. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

^ Pat says, "... was a great sex performer as well." Thinking back over his performance in Deep Throat, which I believe might have been his first performance, all he had to do was get sucked off by Linda, which if you watch, he didn't last that long. And one of the things I like most about it, Linda got both her suck offs out without masturbation. I get a boner just thinking about it. Just an aside - while it kept with the theme of the story, the cuts in the blowjob scenes sure fucked up the continuity of the blowjob. Would love to have had the raw footage on those two! If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

^If the story is true then Harry was actually hired to work the lighting equipment but I think the male performer who was scheduled to do the scene had wood problme or didn't show up and he was hired to play the part of the doctor. That was his first porn shoot but definetely not his last. I know peple keep talking aboiut Deep Throat as somekind of masterpiece or something but I was never a fan. It was badly shot, the sex scenes weren't very good and frankly the qulaity of the vid has never been all that good. The two things that can be said for it is that it is probably the best known porn movie of all time and it's the one that has made the most money. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Don't forget it also gave a name to the then-anonymous Watergate informant who helped unseat one of the America's crazier presidents (and supposedly people as high up as Henry Kissinger and Spiro Agnew had actually seen the film in theaters). How many other porn movies hold that honor?  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hardcore Commie works." - Gen. Jack D. Rippper, Dr. Stranglove | |
