Al Parker (1952-1992)

American gay porn star, producer, and director.

Al Parker (25.06.1952 - 17.08.1992)

He was employed by Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion West as a butler. His career in gay film started when he was "discovered" by Rip Colt, founder of Colt Studios. Colt gave him the performance name "Al Parker."

Parker began his filmmaking career when he signed with Brentwood Studios. He initially made short loop films shot on 8 mm reels. He also starred in films by Bijou Video, such as Games, Turbo Charge, and Turned On.

In 1969, Parker's mother encouraged him to attend the Woodstock Music Festival, believing that it was a classical music festival. After he was forced to abandon his mother's new car in the mud along the road leading to the festival, he encountered what he regarded as his first wholly satisfying sexual experience. His picture was taken there and appears on the poster collage for the Woodstock concert film released in 1970.

Parker was one of the interview subjects of Dr. Dean Edell, who reported a surgical procedure that sought to restore Parker's foreskin from his at-birth circumcision.
