Yet another luminary of the Porn Chic era has passed on.  :\'(

Andrea True, Linda Lovelace, my hometown's own John Leslie, Marilyn Chambers, Aunt Peg, the Mitchell Brothers, and the late great John Holmes are all gone now, and most at fairly young ages. It is as if they were cursed.

Andrea TRUly left us wanting more, more, more...

I remember the song, but I never saw her movies.

The light that burns twice as bright lasts half as long. 

What made Andrea remarkable was that she was one of the very few who successfully made the transition from "porn star" to a non-porn career.

I want more life, f**ker!

(Sorry, couldn't resist the reference...)

I want more life, f**ker!


I'm actually kinda grateful that I can't find a ponified version of White Zombie's More Human than Human, PWEI's Wake Up, Time to Die, or (of course), Andrea True Connection's More More More.  Because if I could've, y'all know damn well I would've.

But at least some of her co-stars are still alive including Harry Reems and Peter North.

She had starred in adult films like "Meatball" and "The Millionaress" in 1974.

Howard knows best. Figures. :D ;)


FTR: I'm sad to hear about her passing, but not extremely saddened.

Sorry to hear Andrea is no more, more, more.
I do like hearing when someone gets out of a bad situation to make something of themselves. If only her career hadn't died with disco.
Farewell to the woman who launched 'Adult' Contemporary.

Your Pal,

Meetballs

Right, that was one of her earliest films with Harry Reems in 1972.

More More More is one of my top favorite disco songs, especially the part with the cowbell breakdown(that Len sampled in 1999). :\'(

Yes, there is one portion of the song, which the group LEN used as the basis of their 1999 hit "Steal My Sunshine" (which was that group's only big hit!).

Man,I was hoping she'd stay with porn if she hadn't been a singer, imagine the money she'd make.  :o
