Jared Stearns

I recently joined Cinema Chat to talk about #PURE, my biography of the iconic (and iconoclastic) #MarilynChambers. 💋 We dove into the wild world of adult cinema, disco-era stardom, and the woman who shocked America from Ivory Snow to Behind the Green Door. www.buzzsprout.com/1726501/epis... #FilmSky

What better way to celebrate Marilyn Chambers’s birthday than the day PURE was born? A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the book and helped keep Marilyn’s wild, fearless legacy burning bright. ❤️ Get your copy at @headpress.com.

Olivia Hussey & Leonard Whiting in Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo & Juliet (1968)

Olivia Hussey in Black Christmas (1974)

Saddened to hear of the passing of #OliviaHussey. Romeo & Juliet made a huge impression on me as a teen, and Black Christmas remains one of the all-time great horror films...and one of the best '70s sweaters worn by a leading lady.
