Collinwood in a Porno Movie?????

[David]

  
Got together with a few friends for a naughty night
of watching 1970s era porn.

After watching the porn/art~film  hybrid The Devil in Miss Jones (1973), we watched The Story of Joanna (1975).
Both films were directed by Gerard Damiano, the porn auteur who wanted to make serious art films a`la` Ingmar Bergman.
In both of these, dark, gothic, downbeat sexvids, you can see the Bergman influence, though Damiano was somewhat lacking in the talent department!

In one scene in the second film, stars Terri Hall & Jamie Gillis were seen walking across the lush garden to the manor house.
I realized that, as the house came into view, they were at Seaview Terrace in Providence R.I.!!!!!!
The Story of Joanna was shot at our beloved Collinwood!

Will wonders never cease!!!!

[David]

I thought it was hilarious myself!


And, BTW, Seaview is actually in Newport.

Hey, that may be a way to keep the franchise going.  With some talk about creating a musical version of DS, how about "The Best Little Whorehouse in Collinsport"?  Dolly Parton can play Angelique.

Instead of singing "Sneaking Around"
Dolly (Angelique) and Burt (Barnabas)
could sing "F~~~ing Around!!!"

Hmm, now I see why DC kept such tight control over DS, lol.

OMG - just that visual alone is enough to make me run screaming in the other direction!! 

But at the same time, that casting is hysterical!    One question, though - will Reems be shaving his trademark mustache or will the film be introducing it as a new Barnabas trademark?

My Questions are, what have you been watching. I know only one of those names. I hope I'm not really out of the loop.

[David]

Lori, these are all 70s & early 80's porn stars.
Anyone familiar with them, as MB & I obviously are( )
will see the humor in these castings.

David

PS Ms Jameson is from the 90s.

And Peter North as Quentin Collins,

One of my jobs is as an adaptive aquatics instructor; i.e., I teach cognitively disabled people how to swim.  A few weeks ago, while I was conducting a class, with the pool filled with other classes and the deck lined with spectators, parents, etc., I jumped out of the pool and my swim suit, ravaged by years of being submerged in hyper-chlorinated water, completely disintegrated in the front, and my towel was way at the opposite end.  So there I was, trying to hold close what little flaps of material, along with my dignity, was left to get to it.  All I could say to the laughing-hysterically fellow staff members was:  "I feel like a has-been seventies' porn star."

Definitely one of the more bizarre DS-related get-togethers I've been a part of. 

Yeah, we were watching to see the interiors of Seaview. That's the ticket.
