I was expecting kenne to provide a brief eulogy on the passing of porn superstar Gloria Leonard. But he's currently submerged.
After Linda Wong, Marilyn Chambers, Erica Boyer, Juliet Anderson - and if you want to count her as star, Linda Lovelace - yet another pioneer of the industry is gone.
I'm getting old. So many of the pioneers of my youth are dying.
shareA tragedy. While I hardly watched her as a performer, she was a nice gal.
shareThat is sad although she did live a full life over 70 years. She was an excellent performer in the film age and was a decent actress who gave it all during the sex scenes. I remember her mostly being a supporting actress in the movies but you could count on a good performance no matter how bad the script or the leading ladies were.
She probably was one of the better feminist porn supporters before Nina Hartley came along.

That sounds like an absolute rarity. Something like a kind SS officer or a honest politician. I am sure it did happen .. just very, very rarely.
Another aspect of Gloria I really liked was that she took a hard stance against the claims of Linda Lovelace despite taking flak for it.
shareGloria Leonard was an enabler of the sleazy straight guy fantasy. Nuff said.

Yes. May her feat be with us forever!
