In the humble opinion of
VGMH, Jeffrey Hurst (aka J
eff Allin, George Hawks, Jeffery Hurst, Jeff Hurst, Jeff Eagle, Jeffrey Hyrst, and
Jeffrey Nurst) should be more recognizable than he seems to be these days when it comes to aficionados of vintage male erotica stars. There are many straight male porn stars who enjoy big gay fan bases (
Harry Reems immediately comes to mind), so why don't more people know about Jeff's work? This straight guy was firecracker-hot-looking and without a doubt he drew more than a couple of gay men into movie houses in the early 1970's to enjoy looking at his body as he made love to countless women. Maybe his limited notoriety has to do with there not being a whole lot of nude pictorials on the Internet of Jeff, although it seems that some professional studio photos were taken. There is a Yahoo Group dedicated to Jeff but
VGMH wasn't able to access the pictures--if someone can perhaps they send some to me to share here.
While he performed looking fantastic in many nudie flicks, not a lot of them are what we consider to be especially noteworthy except for a few exceptions. In
1973's
The Russians Are Coming U.S. citizen (Jeffrey Hurst) fixes up three Soviet cocksmen (sporting fake Russian accents) with
Georgina Spelvin and
Andrea True (True had the huge 1975 disco hit
'More More More').
The film was a showcase for Jeff in that he was able to display his comic talents alongside being a very handsome stud.
Heavy Load (1975) is another great film of his and it remains a very good porn movie from a golden era when smut films were actually real movies with exterior location shots and dialog and story lines. Jeff was the leading man and star (
Andrea True was also in this movie) and he plays Gus, an adorable delivery truck driver who is more interested in making deliveries into his female customers than anything else--much to their delight. And probably shock to some modern audiences--men in porn back then didn't always shave their backs (let alone every other square inch of their torso)!
It's reported that Jeff served in the U.S. Air Force and then returned to New York where he went after his goal of becoming an actor. In the true time-honored show business tradition, somewhere along the way his career path intersected with adult entertainment.
