A sneek peek at my new book, scheduled for later in 2013...more details posted here as they become more concrete.
RENE BOND:
AMERICA'S TRAGIC TEENAGE FANTASY
AMERICA'S TRAGIC TEENAGE FANTASY
by John Harrison
Before the emergence of Linda Lovelace, Marilyn Chambers and Georgina Spelvin, Rene Bond was about the closest thing America had to a celebrity porn starlet. A naturally pretty, sweet and youthful looking brunette (mostly), Bond entered the adult industry in 1969, appearing in over 300 8mm ‘loops’ (including some extreme bondage ones) and features, both softcore (Please Don’t Eat My Mother, Country Cuzzins, Convict Women, Ed Wood’s Necromania) and XXX (Teenage Sex Kitten, Cream Rinse and the classic Teenage Sex Fantasies). Known for her impressive oral techniques, and possessing an enhanced bust rumoured to have been paid for by low budget exploitation producer Harry Novak, Rene Bond disappeared from both the porn scene and public life in the late 1970s, her last known appearance being on an episode of the television game show Break the Bank in 1986. She died of liver failure in 1996 at the age of just 45, unaware of her burgeoning status as a cult figure and porn pioneer.
