Exclusive Interview with Harry Reems by Cindi Loftus © 2008 all rights reserved, may NOT be reprinted ANYWHERE without permission of author.
Cindi-I did an hour long interview with Harry Reems a few weeks ago. He doesn’t do interviews anymore (his last official work for the industry was in 2005 for Inside Deep Throat), but I had an in, one of my best friends, is a good friend of his. So I had a really nice conversation, with a really nice man, who happens to be one of the most recognized names in porn. I am going to put up interesting parts of our talk over the next month or so.
Harry- I’m sober now for nineteen years. I got sober at 42. It took me about a year to answer all the warrants that were out for me, because I was a black out drinker, for months at a time. I wouldn’t know what I did for three, four months.
Cindi- So what movies do you not remember making at all?
Harry-(Laughs) Nobody was hiring me because I couldn’t get it up. I couldn’t walk. They’d have to put me in a chair and have me point to somebody to have sex and then they would make the movie “starring Harry Reems”.
Cindi- Because your name on the movie was worth a lot.
Harry- I was one of the very, very few that made their name an industry, if you will.
Cindi- Where did you get the name Harry Reems?
Harry-I would tell porn producers they could use any name they wanted for me except my real name. So that’s what they did, they made up names. The first time I saw the name Harry Reams was on Deep Throat. I thought it was a little off-color. I changed the spelling (from REAMS to REEMS). I don’t hide my past.
Cindi-You are very brave and blatant. You say I am Harry Reems. I have a past in porno. I’ve had addiction problems and if you don’t like it, too bad.
Harry- Well I don’t say it quite like that Cindi. (Laughs) I do inform people right up front about my past, so that if there is a problem or if they are conservative or they just don’t want to work with someone like me, we’ll get it over with in the first hour, as opposed to 5 days later.
More to come….
Due to Mr Reem’s wishes, nothing from this interview may appear anywhere besides LIB without permission of the author.
God bless Harry. He brings many good memories to my heart.
Sounds like a lovable fuck-up.
Which is more than can be said about you…
LOL
What a Great Guy…Good Job Cindi !
Ten Little Indians, the 69 with Ginger Lynn. I saw that movie in a Theather. All that is gone now.
As the Trannyfucker would have said.
Good times.
