Here's Playgirl's piece on Gregory Harrison's piece when "For Ladies Only" came out . Pictures from the made-for-TV sensation are widely available on the 'Net, but I'm posting this because I know so many of you are only interested in the article.
Says Harrison of the role that made him a gay icon: "I know 'For Ladies Only' could easily be seen as nothing more than an exploitative film that would garner huge ratings based solely on the fact that Gonzo gets naked; but it’s vrey important to me that everything I do has a moral purpose and isn't just pap." (Well, there is a moral, but I'm afraid it's more than a bit pap: the moral being that ripped abs are the way to a gay's, uh, heart.)
He goes on to say: "Having experienced this and come away a little more sensitive about it -- being judged by the size of my muscles, the shade of my tan, the size of my penis instead of my heart and mind -- this story touched me on that level."
Stay tuned: I'm still searching the archives for the Christopher Atkins story about his turn as Ricky the Rocket in "A Night in Heaven."
UPDATE: Chris Atkins' stripper movie and his Playgirl spread are HERE.
Gregory Harrison naked is HERE.
Patti Reagan's motto after working with Gregory? Just say blow.
I remember going to the video store with my parents when I was very young and finding the box for this wonderful film. At that moment, my hormones ignited and I realized I'd be a gay man. One of my first sexual "experiences" was sneaking a viewing of this film on late night TV. It will forever hold a special place in my heart as my first lover.
oh...and PLEASE find The Christopher Atkins pics! That's another one of my prepubescent favorites!!! "A Night To Remember" aired once on the Lifetime Channel (when they showed low budget theatrical films in the afternoon) one day after I came home from 6th grade. It was good for me. I LOVE movies about male strippers. There should be more.
two shining moments of my adolescence...both involving Gregory Harrison...this movie, and the opening credits of Trapper John, MD, when he stepped out of the shower all glistening wet... i'm boning just thinking about it!! thanks!

ReplyDeleteLove Gregory Harrison! He was a part of my sexual awakening back in the 80's. At 61 today, he still looks damn fine!!
ReplyDeleteoh..I know it's called "A Night In HEAVEN..." It was just a night to REMEMBER for me...
ReplyDeleteI have a picture of Harrison with a 'stache that I need to share with you. Because you are obsessed with 'staches.
