So, the age of the Celebrity Pornographer seems to be drawing to a close.

It won't officially end as long as Hef and Flynt are still shuffling around, but the end is in sight...

I thought it was the other way around. I thought oldmangrizz was Bob Guccione's childhood hero.
He looked like a character on the Simpson's in his later years.

I knew Guccione had sunk a sh*tload of his money ($17.5 million, according to the NYTimes obituary. I don't know exactly how that translates into today's dollars, but I figure inflation would multiply that figure by at least 4x or 5x) into making a "prestige" porno, but I had no idea he had gotten the actors Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud, and Helen Mirren to agree to be in it.

Many sources have noted how his former residences ("a 17,000-square-foot double townhouse on East 67th Street, and his country estate in Staatsburg, N.Y.") eventually got foreclosed and sold at auction, but I confess some curiosity about who wound up with the townhouse. I mean... Seventeen-thousand square feet on the Upper East Side... 04-jawdrop Wow.
I didn't click the link yet, but that has to be about Caligula.
Yeah.
OK, did anyone ever buy another Playboy after you saw your first Penthouse?

What I want to know is, did the guy who got this question on Harvard/Horn Lake Trivia know it because it this forum? That's the only reason I called out the answer in my car.

If so, then dude owes Derby 1/2 of his winnings.
