AVN interview with porn legend, and reborn Christian, Harry Reems

[Mr.Fiction]

The trademark moustache is gone, and Harry Reems, now 56, is at the Sundance Film Festival to reflect on a life marked with alcohol, sex and renewed faith and optimism. He was at Sundance to attend the world premiere of Inside Deep Throat, marking the first time in over 20 years that Reems, star of over 100 porn films, would talk openly about the film that made him an unlikely celebrity.

Sitting in a small hotel room in Park City, Reems, who was starting to lose his voice at this point, recalled a youth defined by religion and repression. "My grandparents were orthodox Jews from the old country, but my parents kind of broke that barrier and ate ham, fish and lobster as well as played golf on the Sabbath," Reems recalls, smilingly. "They never really taught us very much about Judaism, although my brother and I were bar-mitzvahed, but after that we never even went to synagogue."

Harry was born Herbert Streicher in New York?s Manhattan "and lived my first five years in the Bronx. Then we moved up to Westchester County to a town called Harrison," Reems recalls. Reems joined the military and left the Marine Corps in 1967.

It's a long article and worth your time.

Reems is one of the kings of the first wave.
