The exclusive screening debut of Peter, the bio-doc of Peter North, was held during
the AVN Expo on Thursday, January 22 at the Skybox at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
As a prelude to this revealing event, Peter North, walking alone down the hall in his
unassuming manner, looked both happy and surprised to be recognized when asked
to provide a candid preview of this event to be held just a few hours later.
“I just really wanted to tell my story my way,” North revealed. “The good, the bad,
the ugly. How I eventually went from Halifax, Nova Scotia to California and became
someone bigger than I am (chuckle) in real life. I never had a goal to be famous, or
should I say infamous. It is based like the movie True Lies in a way as I was living two
different lives with my life in the industry and going down to Orange County behind
the orange curtain and living a completely different life. That’s a hard, hard tightrope
to walk.”
Minutes later, Seth Gamble was cornered to talk about his inclusion in the documentary.
“Well, it was an honor to be in Peter North’s documentary. I was very fortunate I worked
a lot with him a lot during the time he created his website many years ago. I got to
work with him on the sets and got to travel with him when we went to Cleveland to
shoot girls. For anyone who knows anything about this industry, he was the first of
his kind in the industry. I think what you will get out of this documentary is we are all
grey, man, there is no black and white. We are all human and this really showcases
a person who brought a legacy to this business; you get to see who Al Brown is and
not just Peter North.”
Finally, this much anticipated evening arrived. The first inclination that this was to be
special was visible at the top of the escalator leading to the Skybox where an incredible
number of press photographers were shoulder to shoulder, jostling for position as they
tried to squeeze in to get photos of North as he posed with adult legends eager to
memorialize this historic event. This went on for nearly an hour as both participants of
the film and other stars vied for position to be included in photos with the man himself.
The staged photos were like a revolving door of many dozens of big name stars, all
of whom certainly know of, or were aware of, one another from back in the day. At any
given time groups being photographed with the bespectacled North in his familiar dark
frame glasses included performers like Christy Canyon, Ginger Lynn, Amber Lynn,
TT Boy, Sean Michaels, Dominique Simone, Mickey Lynn and dozens more from that
golden time of the adult industry.
