Still from Deep Throat featuring Linda Lovelace
Gerard Damiano (August 4, 1928 – October 27, 2008) was an American director of pornographic films. He made the infamous film Deep Throat in 1972 starring Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems, cited in the 2005 documentary Inside Deep Throat as the most profitable film ever made. Other notable films made by Damiano include The Devil in Miss Jones (1973) and the sadomasochistic classic The Story of Joanna (1975).
I’ve read elsewhere that he died on Satuday, the 25th, from complications of a stroke. I blogged about Damiano today and credited you with informing me of his passing.
Tim,
Thanks for the link, it was a traffic boost.
I’ll re-check the dates, it had only happened recently when I’d done the post.
