Career
Stevens was a pioneering sex industry figure during the 1970s, in New York City. He appeared in over 80 pornographic movies; he also led an erotic dance troupe called Le Clique[3] and performed in live sex shows. He was bisexual, and while he predominantly appeared in heterosexual films and porn loops, he made a number of gay movies as well. He was a close associate of leading sex industry figures such as Jason & Tina Russell, Annie Sprinkle, who was also his neighbor for a time, Sharon Mitchell, Jamie Gillis, Georgina Spelvin, and Gloria Leonard. Tall and lean with a well-defined musculature, he had the nickname "10½" because of the supposed size of his circumcised penis. He was famously photographed by Robert Mapplethorpe.[4]
Notable films
Notable films featuring Marc Stevens include:
- The Devil in Miss Jones
- All about Gloria Leonard
- Michael, Angelo and David
Honorable recognition
Stevens was posthumously inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame on April 30, 2008.[5]
Death
Stevens died of AIDS[6] in 1989, aged 46.[citation needed]
Despite his prominence in the 1970s and the fact he produced two memoirs (long out of print and allegedly ghost-written by his mother), entitled 10½! and Making It Big.[7] Stevens has attracted relatively little attention since.
