A raucous and revealing oral history of the birth of the adult film industry, The Other Hollywood peels back the candy coating to let the true story be told -- by the stars, movie makers, and other industry players who lived it. And what a story it is: Through hundreds of original interviews, contemporary newspaper accounts, police reports, court testimony, and more, Legs McNeil and coauthors Jennifer Osborne and Peter Pavia trace today's billion-dollar industry from its makeshift, mob-connected origins to the Internet age. Along the way we encounter porn stars such as Linda Lovelace, John Holmes, Traci Lords, and Savannah -- along with countless mainstream stars, politicians, FBI agents, and more.

Epic, hilarious, and moving, The Other Hollywood contributes to the porn industry the one thing missing in all previous accounts: a vivid, tragicomic, irresistible humanity.

Synopsis:
This book appeals to buyers of Jenna Jameson's bestselling "How to make Love like a Porn Star". It includes hundreds of amazing celebrity stories featuring both porn stars and mainstream. It features: reviews in film magazines eg "The Word", "Empire"; reviews in men's magazines eg "GQ", "Esquire". Everyone knows the adult film industry is a multimillion pound business. What most people don't know is how the porn industry got started with a $22,000 Mafia investment in a film called "Deep Throat" or how it mushroomed over the next quarter-century despite efforts by politicians, the FBI, and others to bring it down. "The Other Hollywood" tells that story, through hundreds of interviews by the people who lived through it. In the riveting oral-history format that made his first book, "Please Kill Me", one of the most memorable accounts of 1970s underground culture, Legs McNeil now pulls back the grimy satin sheets on one of the most astounding success stories in the history of business.

Careening back and forth between two groups, the actresses, directors, and others who made the films and the shady underworld figures who financed them, "The Other Hollywood" offers scores of never-before-told stories.
