Joe Dallesandro - early nude film



"As a teenager, Dallesandro supported himself by nude modeling and prostitution, and appeared in at least one gay pornography film. Interviewed in later life, Dallesandro said: "My hustling days were more about trying to take care of myself. Having met those people kind of calmed me down. They showed me a different part of life.

In the 80s, the debut album from The Smiths also had him as cover-boy
