Joey Stefano (January 1, 1968 – November 26, 1994) was an American pornographic actor who appeared in gay adult films. ==Career== Born Nicholas Anthony Iacona, Jr., Stefano and his siblings grew up in the Philadelphia area (Chester, Pennsylvania). His father, Nicholas, Sr., was a union painter who died of colon cancer when Stefano was 15. After the death of his father, Stefano began using drugs and was eventually sent to rehab for six months. After rehab, he tried to become a model and built a portfolio. In 1989, he met a gay porn actor named Tony Davis who helped him enter into the gay adult film industry.〔 Stefano's adult film career took off after meeting Chi Chi LaRue during a trip to Los Angeles.〔 Stefano's looks were well received and his persona as a "hungry bottom" (sexually submissive but verbally demanding) contributed to his popularity. His image and success caught the attention of Madonna, who used him as a model in her 1992 book ''Sex''. While he was a popular performer, Stefano's family had no idea he was gay nor were they aware that he was performing in adult films. According to Stefano's older sister Linda, he told the family that he was a male model. She later found out about his real occupation but did not inform their mother.〔 During his lifetime, he was the subject of rumors regarding his relationships with prominent entertainment industry figures who were known to be gay. At a May 1990 dinner and interview with Jess Cagle (''Entertainment Weekly'') and Rick X (host of Manhattan Cable TV's ''The Closet Case Show''), Stefano discussed an alleged series of "dates" with David Geffen, who at one point implored Stefano to quit using drugs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】1990 )">url=http://www.rickx.com/movies/Joey.htm )〕 After the videotaped interview appeared on Rick X's show, ''OutWeek Magazine'' "outed" Geffen, who went on to announce his homosexuality at an AIDS fundraiser. Over the course of his five-year career, Stefano appeared in 58 gay adult films, and two music videos with Madonna. Despite his success, Stefano did not save his earnings and relapsed into drug and alcohol abuse.〔 In 1990, he was diagnosed HIV positive. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joey Stefano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
