Playgirl's 1979 Man of the Year was Greenfield native/Allderdice grad Howie Gordon. He was a major porn star in the late 1970s and the 1980s, and now you can read his e-book telling all about it.

Wow I have been pretty anti Post-Gazette lately, but this was an excellent read and a very interesting story. Also, I found it interesting that even Pittsburgh porn stars are big Steelers fans

Molly Rome is/was from the Pittsburgh area. She even has a Steeler Tattoo. Oh, and Harry Reems of Deep Throat went to Pitt.

I heard that there's a director from LA who also owns a home in Murrysville, and films some of his movies at his local home.

How come anybody who works in porn is a porn "star" and all models are "super" models? There are probably 5,000,0000 people who act in porn and they can't ALL be stars.

Was this the case during the time period the article was focused on, i.e. the 6os and 70s?

I don't even think an article like this would have appeared in a general circulation newspaper in the 60s or 70s. It was all too underground back then. The only ones I recall ever being mentioned were Marilyn Chambers (a porn actress who was also the model mother on boxes of Ivory Snow detergent) and Harry Reems. Oh, and of course, Linda Lovelace. But I don't think any of them were refered to as "stars."

I think it is kind of like the term "rockstar" and it is just a label that was created and somehow stuck. I definitely would not call Justin Biber a "Rockstar," but many people do and that is just the reality of the situation.
