There’s also a similar Colt picture of him, lying on a bed, holding the original 1970 record album of, “Jesus Christ Superstarâ€. As you can tell from his sideburns and roots, he wasn’t a natural blond – but hey, no matter! As Holly Woodlawn once famously said, in a 1976 T.V. interview with Geraldo Rivera, “What difference does it make, as long as you look fabulous?â€
I mentioned this before in a response that you inexplicably didn’t get. I’m very grateful that you’ve now fully recognized both Dakota and Jim Cassidy. I could never understand why you ignored them in the past, for so long. They were quite the pioneers in all-male porn. Both of them predated Jack Wrangler and Al Parker. They were among the first bodybuilders in porn, along with Ledermeister, Gordon Grant, and David Carter. And without the use of steroids, I might add.
Jim Cassidy sadly died in 2013. But Dakota aka Ken Sprague, is 71 now and still looks great:
He got married twice, and now has grown children. I’m hoping that one day, he’ll write his autobiography, and come clean about his porn past. I’m happy that because of the internet, he’s gotten more recognition. He deserves it. : )
Most of all, I’m grateful that both Dakota and Jim Cassidy, now have their own Wikipedia page. They both left gay porn in 1974. They made four films together. Thank you for posting, “Balling Beefcake†aka “Dakota Meets Jim Cassidyâ€.
Incidentally, have you finished, “The Iron Game†by David Carter? ; )
nope. i never actually started reading “The Iron Game†– I was just researching for selling it, then got a bit more info that made me realize it’s kinda rare. if YOU are interested, I am happy to lend it out! …back to this post, i think a big part of what i focus on / am interested in, comes from the era in which I was first watching porn – from 1979 on. That was when I was old enough to get into the movies (18). Didn’t really experience any of the older materials like magazines until much much later, but movies on the big screen at the Bijou in Chicago is where I got my focus on what to me where the Big Players – for me, Jack Wrangler and Al Parker – being so prolific, not to mention so good at what they do (did). and, body builders don’t do much for me. Gordon Grant, while close to that, caught my attention in those films where he’s sucking cock in men’s rooms! OMG!
Even I knew before, that Dakota was not gay, I´m always impressed how many gay porn actors are/were not really gay…
“… body builders don’t do much for me.” Oh yeah, then what about Bruno, Roger, Ledermeister, Barry Hoffman, Big Max, Clay Russell, Dan Pace, Paul Barresi, or Fred Halsted? Oh please, I think you’ve come close to posting all of their pictures. : / What B.S.! Shovel it! Shovel it! : ) ;)
