This came out 20 years ago and I only learned about it today from a John Waters interview (John says Jon was bitter that he was not recognized as a pioneer of "verbal abuse" in porn). Has anyone read it? It sounds very Hollywood Babylon-goes-porn.
[quote]Although he starred in fewer than forty adult films, Jon Vincent was one of the most popular, most recognizable, and most durable stars of the all male adult film industry. Known for his near-competitive level physique and his non-stop, erotic verbal pyrotechnics, his was a persona unlike any other in gay (or straight) porn. By 1990, he was earning more than a hundred thousand dollars a year, as well as a reputation for being drunk, difficult to work with, and dependent on a variety of dangerous drugs. He died ten years later, a homeless Heroin addict. He was thirty-seven years old.
