Harry Reems

Harry Reems was one of the very first porn stars, a mustachioed lothario whose romance-tinged trysting got him plenty of work in the 70's hardcore scene. He's a well-built stud in the swinging 70's mold, with one of the hairiest chests seen in porno before or since. But it was his passionate sexual performances that made him a star. Born in 1947 in the Bronx, New York as Herbert Streicher, Harry was struggling to make a name for himself as an actor in the early 70's when porn started to take off. He eased his way into the fledgling industry along with several other New York actors, including close friend Georgina Spelvin. Harry's stage background helped him in the 70's porn era, when story and atmosphere was often as important as pure sexual sizzle. Harry made his hardcore debut in 1972 and immediately became one of the business' first stars. Harry choose his roles wisely and exploded on the scene in '72, starring in two of the all-time porno classics, 'Deep Throat' and 'The Devil In Miss Jones 1.' His notoriety followed him through over 100 steamy features between '72 and his departure from the scene in 1987. Harry was in top form right up until the end of his career.' He tried to break into mainstream Hollywood flicks, but met with limited success. Harry dropped completely out of the hardcore scene in 1987, and was last spotted selling real estate out of his Utah office. He's a charter member of both the AVN and XRCO Performers Halls of Fame.
