Actor Harry Reems, best known for his role as Linda Lovelace's doctor in the epic movie Deepthroat passed away Tuesday after a battle with pancreatic cancer, he was 65. Reems has the distinction of being the only U.S. actor ever to be convicted of obscenity. He was convicted of conspiracy (huh?) by a Federal jury in Memphis for his role in Deepthroat. Reems was born in the Bronx, and attended the University of Pittsburgh (What! What!) for one year before joining the Marines. He then went to New York to study theater and gaining roles in B movies, before getting into porn. He gave up porn in the 80's, and after battling alcoholism, he got sober and became a successful real estate agent in Park City, Utah. He is survived by his wife Jeannie and his brother. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
