Ha. I thought everyone knew that.  John Holmes was the original Porn Star. 
If you want more gritty real life I'd recommend Wonderland with Val Kilmer though. 

I was reading that he retired in 2009 yet nothing about his life since then. I guess once a pornstar always a pornstar.
Sad that they had to to set up a GoFundMe to bury him.  😞 

Jesus. I can't imagine a piece like this selling for almost 300 million!  It's called "Women 3"  He sold it back in 2006. Clearly I don't know art. 
Geffen had 2 houses in LA. One was a house right on the beach in Malibu where he took his porn boys. I was there a few times for dinner and movie nights with friends.  The water comes right up to the back yard. Very cool. Then there was the Beverly Hills location for the important guests.  I didn't go there but I'd heard about the Art. Now I wish I had. 

He also had a relationship with Joey Stefano. His first high profile pornstar relationship. 

I know of a Big time Hollywood Director and his Porn Star BF. After about 2 years or so he got tired of him as they do. Well, the Porn Star wasn't an idiot or at least his Lawyer wasn't and got himself set up too. They weren't even married so yeah I imagine there's more to it.

"Armstrong will get spousal support, but only for 1 year. Under Cali law, the receiving spouse gets spousal support for 1/2 the length of the marriage. "
Billionaire David Geffen Files For Divorce From Randy Blue Gay Porn Star Brandon Foster (a.k.a. Donovan Michaels) | STR8UPGAYPORN
STR8UPGAYPORN.COM Not really sure that will be a gold mine for him. Still those 6 months worth will probably be worth more then most of us make in 5 years. 

CA law is basically a 50/50 split.  However, the assets that Geffen made before the marriage is apparently off the table and he's been retired for 15 years. I think the boy toy will still be set up really nice and probably won't have to work his money maker for the rest of his life at any rate. 

Since starting this thread, I’ve seen even more provider pics that suggest the use of fillers. I can only imagine the pressure these guys must feel to be as lengthy and girthy as possible, but the long-term effects to their bodies seem like a high cost to pay.

It seems ancient history to some, but for those of us who lived through the epidemic, we can never forget the suffering and anguish of our friends who didn't make it. Let's remember them today.

Some people are more complicated than others.  There are facets to most people that never see the light of day, and therefore they manage to escape scrutiny. For others, not so much.
 

OMG, I also had a crush on him when I was a kid. Thankfully, my true childhood crush Jason Bateman remains a decent guy. 

I was thinking the same thing. It's beyond weird memorializing and defending such a flawed has been celebrity from a 100 years ago. 
It's like when I used to have a crush on Kirk Cameron. Now I'm just embarrassed for having any feelings for the Douche. 

She referred to her son as a “tumor” and the married a fascist. I don’t understand why anyone would be ten toes down for a mediocre actress and singer who was a style icon for about a decade. She’s a rather minor artist. 
France has given the world many other wonderful artists from Isabell Huppert to Marion Cottllard. 

Brigitte Bardot's sad last days were spent in hiding as late actress didn't want world to know she was 'overweight' and 'suffering'

"According to the 33-page complaint, the couple met in 2016 on the website SeekingArrangements.com, “where men like Geffen shop for the vulnerable.”
Their relationship was initially transactional as Geffen paid Michaels $10,000 for sex on their first night together, per the lawsuit. The arrangement led to Michaels becoming Geffen’s trophy boy, “a private sexual object and a public prop – a symbol of Geffen’s self-proclaimed altruism to impress his powerful network"
That poor innocent boy.  Fell in love with an older creep not even realizing it was through a hooker site. No doubt someone sex trafficked him or something.  

I can't even imagine the cost of living in NY if you're not already established. Everywhere is getting expensive but NY, SF prices are insane.

A French Cultural Icon Passes From the Scene

Her life stands in contrast to the petty cavils being hurled at her by midgets. 

A respected local art theater has posted a tribute to her on their website, praising her work and influence in cinema. However, many people have posted in the tribute's 'comment' section  complaining of her Islamophobia and far-right stance in later life. The art theater is evidently deleting those comments, creating a minor crisis. A local Reddit thread was created by one of those angered by the theater's actions and most replies to it are ho hum, mind your own beeswax.   

Despite having been an escort in LA for decades, sadly I never ever met him.  Maybe 26, age when I started, was too old for him back then, I don't know.  I know people who have been to both houses and I always wanted to see the Malibu home.  Oh well.  Lucky you. 
Escort Gavin Geoffrey Dillard gives a very amusing account of visiting both homes for the first time in his memoir:  In The Flesh
I know what you mean about the water coming right up to the house.   I was at a sex party late '90s in that same area of Malibu, and that time of year the water came right up to the hot tub.  Also, I spent a very nice Christmas Eve at what at the time was Geffen's Hotel in Malibu, The Malibu Beach Inn, and the water came right up to the hotel Christmas Morning.  So, very cliche, I set my coffee cup on the patio and went for a very cold swim first thing.  I Felt like Christopher Isherwood.

Let’s just not forget that she was a homophobe, racist and islamophobe
