Porn star Jerry Butler, 58, supposedly of pancreatic cancer. He worked a lot in the 70s and early 80s, then wrote a book, Raw Talent, which pissed off a lot of people in the business, so work kinda dried up. Apparently, he moved back to the East Coast after that and became a bus driver in Brooklyn. He was married to Lisa Loring, who played Wednesday Addams on The Addams Family TV show.
