Porn film director Gerard Damiano passed away in Miami on October 25, aged 80.
Deep Throat was the first adult film to cross over into mainstream theaters and has been credited in launching that type of film. The movie was made in six days with a budget around $25,000 in 1972 but it made an estimated profit of $382 million.
The films title was used to describe an FBI official, W. Mark Felt, in the whole President Nixon scandal.
After “Deep Throat” opened in Times Square, attention from media critics and outraged conservatives — including repeated legal challenges — helped turn it into a hit film, and then more people wanted to see it.
Gerard Damiano is survived by his son and daughter.
RIP
