Harry Reems, the male star of the influential 1972 porno film "Deep Throat," has died. He was 65. Jeanne Sterrett Reems, his wife, tells the BBC he died in a Salt Lake City Hospital Tuesday, and that he had multiple health issues, including pancreatic cancer. [BBC News, thanks Antinous]

    Oh great, now I’m going to have the theme music from that film running through my brain all day…

    I’m sorry, I’m sure the porn industry did him no favors, but after he left porn, he kept his name as Harry Reems? Like, his wife took the name? Mrs. Streicher was too embarrassing?

      Maybe his life was easier with people knowing who he was than with people sidling up to him and telling him that he looked like Harry Reems.

    I miss porn stars with personalities.

    So long, Mr. Reems.

    He was a consummate professional and, when paid well enough, was quite a decent actor.  So long Harry, you big prick.
