The Other Hollywood
The Other Hollywood
by Legs McNeil & Jennifer Osbourne
Subtitled "The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn film Industry," The Other Hollywood delivers exactly that: a sometimes gross, sometimes sad and sometimes horrifying glimpse into the world of hardcore pornography, told by those who lived it. From the Betty Page shorts to the Wonderland murderers to the mob ties to the cocaine to the size of John Holmes' penis (one male actor memorably describes looking up at John's penis and being reminded of the opening shot of Star Wars), every salacious detail of the life is on display here. It's a hefty read, and sometimes your eyes glaze over, but if you want to learn about the truth behind Boogie Nights, here you go.
