Between working various odd jobs, I discovered opportunities as a nude model, but I kept that a secret from my first wife (whom I married in 1965). She eventually found out because my work as a nude model parlayed into the burgeoning world of adult films!
In 1970, I accepted a role that changed my life forever - the randy private dick, Johnny Wadd. At that time, the director didn't realize what he had created; the movie was instantly popular and we made eight more JOHNNY WADD films. I also worked in hundreds of other adult films during that decade. It was my pleasure to work with many beautiful actresses, service wealthy women as a gigolo on the side, plus I had several extra-marital relationships.
My longest affair began in the early '70s, when I began to experiment with drugs. Just like anyone else, I never intended on becoming an addict. I was afraid to admit I'd lost control of my life, but it was true. In my constant search for drugs, I associated with people that I would have previously crossed the street to avoid. The lowest point of my life was in the summer of 1981, when I double-crossed one of these associates and then found myself connected to an unsolved, multiple homicide. Although I was acquitted on those murder charges, I was held in contempt of court because I refused to divulge the details of what I knew.
In November of 1982, I was released from prison and on the set of my comeback film, MARATHON, I met a young adult actress who became my second wife. We enjoyed family life together for a few years, until I tested positive for HIV in 1986. The way I looked at it, I wasn't interested in prolonging the inevitable; I passed away on March 13, 1988. Ironically, it became legal in August 1988 to make pornographic films in California. So, I never worked legally in adult films, but after 20 years, my legacy lives on; they call me The King, but to those who know me well, I was just John.
