A raucous and revealing oral history of the birth of the adult film industry, The Other Hollywood peels back the candy coating to let the true story be told -- by the stars, movie makers, and other industry players who lived it. And what a story it is: Through hundreds of original interviews, contemporary newspaper accounts, police reports, court testimony, and more, Legs McNeil and coauthors Jennifer Osborne and Peter Pavia trace today's billion-dollar industry from its makeshift, mob-connected origins to the Internet age. Along the way we encounter porn stars such as Linda Lovelace, John Holmes, Traci Lords, and Savannah -- along with countless mainstream stars, politicians, FBI agents, and more. Epic, hilarious, and moving, The Other Hollywood contributes to the porn industry the one thing missing in all previous accounts: a vivid, tragicomic, irresistible humanity.

reviewed The other Hollywood on May 21, 2009 The other Hollywood
Hi, so I'm bored at work and after all the weird "sexual" conversations today well I can't help but start thinking about porn.
I want to open with the fact I actually have read this book and I recommend it to everyone in the entire world. Except if you have a bad gag reflex it may not be for you. I mean there is definitely some beastiality. But what do you expect it is about porn. This book is about porn back when porn was fun. (I have no actual knowledge of this fact but it seems to be the position of the people in the book). This is not unlike all the punk books which are about punk before it was punk. How did porn come about? is linda lovelace batshit crazy? who was the hottest pornstar? You will find all those answers and more in this book.
The intro to this book is also great it is about McNeil's girlfriend dying of a flesh eating virus... yup the world use to be so much more fun back in the day.
