In 1978,
Ron Hyatt was a special education teacher who, like many people, dreamed of some day becoming an actor. One day,
Ron's girlfriend sent a nude photo of him on a whim to
Playgirl magazine, who published it as part of their "Boy Next Door" feature; before long,
Ron was asked to appear in a hardcore
pornographic movie, and thus was the beginning of the career of
Ron Jeremy, one of biggest and least-likely male stars in the adult film industry. Short, pudgy, and possessing an excess of body hair,
Jeremy hardly looks like anyone's idea of a sex-show stud, but
Jeremy's charm, intelligence, self-effacing good humor, and professional attitude in a business where such focus is rare made him the best-known man in porn, starring in literally hundreds of adult films and eventually breaking through to bit parts and cameo roles in mainstream features.
Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy is a feature- length
documentary that offers an inside look at
Ron Jeremy's life and career, including interviews with his friends, co-workers, and family; the film won the Audience Award for Best
Documentary at the
2001 No Dance Film Festival.
