The big question often asked during the group shots was will Jenna Jameson appear?
She did, and this very rare adult industry appearance began as she joined the groups
being photographed and remained there quite a while before being whisked to a
reserved seat to a secure table in the black wristband area reserved for Peter and
many of the performers who were instrumental in the film or appeared in it in candid
interviews.
Finally, it was showtime for this 76-minute Peter North reveal. No empty seats could
be found in the viewing area where the packed audience had great views of the film
on multiple screens of various sizes. Around the viewing area others still had decent
angles to see one of the many screens.
Encapsulating the actual documentary would be pointless as it would be like
condensing an entire life story into a few words. Thousands upon thousands of vid
clips, from interviews of people from all aspects of his life—before, during, and after
porn—to many still and choice segments from his movies, were shown.
The biggest impact of the evening was without doubt the emotional aspects of many
of the attendees who were associated with North’s celluloid era—co-workers, and more.
Watching stars reuniting after all these many years brought such joy—you could clearly
see in their faces. It was like going back in time to their formulative years. Many a tear
was seen. Wistfulness permeated the room as a lot of happy memories of days past
were fondly recalled. A few were noticeably affected by this mass reunion, and seen
looking off into space thinking about what was once.
With North the center of attention, it lasted late into the evening as though nobody
wanted it to end. A great selection of food was also brought in at this time for the
legends after most of the others had departed. The night was pure magic.
One of the more touching moments was at the end of the evening when Jewel DeNyle
was approached by this writer who saw her sobbing, alone, at her table. When she
was tactfully asked if she had anything she would like to say, she nodded and asked
to be given a moment to compose herself first. That moment never came as she saw
Ginger Lynn and they embraced, both crying, and hugging tightly. Raw emotion from
two friends.
In joy still felt, with memory yet green.
