The adonis of 1970's gay porn, Jack Wrangler was the first adult film star to write his memoirs. Although he occasionally appeared in straight films and was doing them exclusively by 1984, this book concentrates more on his gay lifestyle and his awkward sexual relationship with 1940's singer Margaret Whiting, who later became his wife. An insightful look into 1970's porn, when sex was freer and safer.

Wrangler was a child star on stage and in wholesome television productions. Very connected to the industry, he drifted, cashed in on his looks and lifestyle and became one the first real gay pornstars. His stories about making these films are often funny and always interesting. (think body makeup and hot lights!) Covers his life through his bizarre partnership with Margaret Whiting and his bid to be legit in theater. Does not include, however, more recent days when he sued NYC for a sidewalk accident that left him unable to perform his manly duties for Whiting! All in all, though, a good read.
