“RIP Harry Reems,” says Dr. Block, “the actor/pornstar/hero who stood up to President Nixon’s attempts to censor Free Speech. Busted by the Feds for getting a consensual on-camera blowjob, Reems went through hell, but got his conviction overturned. And Nixon got his just desserts, forced to resign in disgrace, busted by a Watergate informant ironically named ‘Deep Throat’.”
This Saturday, March 23rd, 2013 The Dr. Susan Block Show will broadcast live on location from The Deep Throat Sex Scandal, the critically acclaimed play by David Bertolino about the making of “Deep Throat,” with a special memorial tribute to this groundbreaking 1970s porn film’s male star, Harry Reems, who passed away this past Tuesday in Salt Lake City, Utah.
“I’m honored to host this Saturday’s memorial tribute to American Free Speech hero Harry Reems with the marvelous cast, crew and friends of ‘The Deep Throat Sex Scandal,’” says Dr. Block. “Though Harry was born again and expressed ambivalence about porn towards the end of his life, this wonderful, funny and heartfelt play captures his free spirit. It tells his quintessentially American story: from broke wannabe actor to the first really famous male porn star, to the first and only actor to be arrested and convicted of federal obscenity charges just for having sex in a movie, to overturning that conviction with the help of such luminaries as Alan Dershowitz, Warren Beatty, Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson, and then onto a life-after-porn as a Born Again Christian, happily married, real estate agent in Park City, Utah. What a life! And what an example Harry Reems, aka Herbert Stricher, set for us back in 1976 when he literally put his body on the line and fought for our First Amendment rights against the nefarious, well-funded forces of Puritanical hypocrisy.”
