Born 5/9/47, the second oldest of four sons, Ken DeLucia grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. Ken's father, Frank DeLucia, worked for the US Postal Service and the Mafia. "He was a wiseguy. He was a bookie. He was not a made guy. A very deep associate. He knew lots of politicians. Placed bets for them."

Ken grew up in a traditional Italian Roman Catholic home. His parents remained married till death did them part.

A smartass kid, Ken began drinking at age 13. Alcohol and drugs remained a big problem for him until he went sober through AA in 1988. He played linebacker and defensive end in high school football.

In 1966, Ken married for the first time. The couple had two boys. They divorced in 1971. He next married in 1977 and divorced the next year. "I was drinking and using drugs and my life was all f---ed up." In January 1997 in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show, DeLucia married for the third time in the Elvis Presley Wedding Chapel.

DeLucia spent most of 1966 and 1967 in Vietnam serving his country through the Marine Corp. He rose to the rank of Sergeant and won various medals.

Ken met Elegant Angels owner Pat Collins in 1977. They sold cars in the South Bay Area, in Hawthorne California at the Chaffee Ford dealership. Ken and Pat did incredible quantities of drugs and booze together. "That was the disco era. We were party guys. My drug of choice was crank, then cocaine. Crank is speed, amphetamine sulfates. I would either snort. If I had money, I probably would've chosen morphine. That's the E-ticket for a high."

Ken believes that he's slept with fewer than 100 women in his life. "I was always a one woman guy. Serial monogamy."

The ex-Marine worked in the steel mills of Pittsburgh for seven years before moving to California in 1976 "to be a hero and wound up a zero. I was going to make it big and be a success. I suffered from delusions of grandeur. I wasn't sending back my child support on a regular basis. I felt so bad, I wouldn't call to stay in touch. I didn't file for taxes for years. Then two years after I got sober, I filed for all those years I did not file. I paid all my back child support. I now see my kids. I have tried to make amends. The younger son is open to developing a relationship. The older one has more resentment."

Pat Collins and Ken DeLucia joined Evil Angel in 1993. Ken worked on marketing. When Pat and John Stagliano split in 1996, DeLucia went with Pat where he worked for a year. "I've tried to bring legitimacy to this industry. I want to bring it from the back alleys to the main street, and make it more European. But this is tough because of America's religious morals. Porn needs more exposure on press and television. And we [pornographers] have to support the stores. The dark back room is ok. The porn section is just another part of entertainment. Americans are embarrassed by their sexuality.

"I was raised a Catholic. I went to Vietnam and killed people. Men, women and children. That stuff happens in war. I came back and I was a different guy than my wife had married. I've made my amends spirituality. Even though I am an atheist, I have spirituality. Nature gives me a sense of calm.

"My wife and I met with this archbishop. He wanted us to kiss his ring. I shook his hand. He wanted to excommunicate my wife because she and I divorced. Not allow her to take sacraments. 'God' will forgive me for killing people, but will not forgive divorce? That was the final straw for me with Catholicism.

"The religious are so hypocritical. Look at the Mormons in Utah. They won't allow hardcore pornography in their state, but they will marry five women and f--- two at a time. Then you get the Christian evangelists like Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Baker boning girls in the name of God. Because they are closer to god, it is like sucking god's dick. Then you've got the Catholic priests playing butt pirate with the altar boys. Look at the witch hunt in Manhattan Beach against the McMartin people. But it's ok for these parents to send their kids to Catholic church to get f---ed in the ass by a priest.

"Religious people are the worst hypocritical f---s in the world. They lie in their beds at night and play hide the salami, and escaped convict and the wardens wife. Then in the morning they wake up and tell their kids that sex is dirty. It's like they have dual personalities.

"This industry aggressively goes after child porn. We find any child porn on the internet, we at AMI report any child porn on the net. Leave the kids alone."

Ken passionately supports the Hebrew Bible notion of "eye for an eye." Ken believes in the death penalty and castrating rapists. "Let the punishment fit the crime. Kill all murderers. If someone rapes someone, cut their dick off.

"I see the adult entertainment industry booming through the internet."

Ken has joined Atlas Multimedia, owned by ex-Merrill Lynch stockbroker Don Osterholt, which operates about 50 web sites including a dozen porn stars such as nicisterling.com, jacklynlick.com, johnniblack.com, tabithastevens.com, lizaharper.com, carolinaexposed.com, missysweb.com, racqueldarrian.com.

Don and Ken see the adult video business as a dinosaur, soon to be supplanted by the internet and satellite TV. "You'll be able to catch these images on real-time via the net in the next five years. We won't need VHS tapes."

Ken guesses that the three most powerful persons in porn are John Stagliano, Melvin Kaminsky of GVA, and Larry Flynt. His favorite pornographers are John Stagliano, Gregory Dark, Joey Silvera and Rocco.

DeLucia says that if the American condom industry makes condoms mandatory it will create a booming demand for European porn and skyrocket the price for renegade no-condom American porn.

"Porn is just entertainment. If people think they can sustain a relationship with another human being based on what they see in an adult movie, then they probably think that Arnold Schwarznaegger is bullet proof. Put the movie in for an hour or two, grab your wife or loved one, and have fun. Because when the movie is over, that's it. Take the movie out and move on. Sex is so obsessive to some people. Like a drug. They can't get enough. Porn is like a drug.

"I meet so many guys who want to enter the industry. I tell them, you're little Elvis is not going to respond when you have to perform in front of 15 people. And you've got a girl with a bigger dick than you, telling you "Are you going to f--- me with that thing or what?" They think it is all fun and games. They don't realize that it takes up to seven hours to shoot a scene. You have to have a yo-yo dick, and be able to come on cue. It's not fun and games.

"Many of the girls in this business are married. They are just in it for money. They do a few months of shooting a year, dance for a few months, then take the rest of the year off. They pace themselves. I'd say about 30% of the girls in this business are smart.

"Girls like Nici Sterling, Johnni Black, Jacklyn Lick and XXX are hardworking girls. I think the new performers' guild is long overdue. I will help them if I can. Everybody in this business gets rich except for the talent."

Ken did several wraparounds for Pat Collins' Sodomania series and for his double anal video Al Terego's Double Anal Alternatives.

"Pat and I did not know what name to use. I said: "I need to be everybody's alterego." Pat says: "That's it. Al Terego. Alterego. Al Terego."

"I gave my woman a promise that I would not fool around with any of the girls in the business and that I would not do sex on camera. I have kept my word."
