Ron Jeremy, the most prolific male porn star of all-time, had surgery this morning for a heart aneurysm. Personally, I hope he gets well soon and gets serious about his health. I remember him from my earliest memories of porn, back in the 80s. Believe it or not, in his early films, he actually had a fit body! And he's always been hilarious in an intelligent, irreverent way.
I have mixed feelings about his later work. To me, as he got less and less attractive, he became a sort of symbol for the idea that porn was for men only and so male stars could be completely unattractive, while female stars had to be gorgeous. I'm glad that era is over. But I'll always like Ron Jeremy as a person and again, I wish him a speedy and complete recovery.
How about you? What do you think of "The Hedgehog"?
