The Rialto Report takes a brief break this week, but wanted to share a few photos in the holiday spirit.
For many years, John Leslie held an Easter egg hunt for friends and family on the grounds surrounding his house. Jamie Gillis always looked forward to the event, a favorite tradition with one of his closest friends.
On this Easter Sunday, we’re thinking about Jamie and John and the joy they found in each other’s company.

Jamie Gillis Spends Easter at John Leslie’s
Two of the greatest actors in adult cinema history. On this special day, let us remember them for all of their contributions they made to the industry. There’s a very good chance that where ever they are, both Jaimie and John are spending today together doing an Easter egg hunt. We miss you guys!
I love candid photos like these, thanks for sharing them! Such a shame that neither of them is with us any longer.
I too love these kind of private photos and wish they were both still here to share their tales with us and answer our questions.
By the way, when were these pictures taken?
In that last picture, is John Leslie holding a vibrator? 🙂
These are such great pictures of two of the greatest ever RIP to both.
They were the Cary Grant and Marlon Brando of sexual showbiz. I mourn that they left us relatively young.
I made my first porn film with Jamie and John, “Co Ed Fever”. I was cast by the great elder statesman of the industry, Bill Margold, after appearing in the 1974 sell out issue of Playgirl Magazine in a photo essay with actress Cassandra Peterson, better known today as Elvira, ‘Mistress of the Dark’. Jamie helped me decide on a stage name while ridding in the Van on the way to the set. When I told him I was thinking about calling myself Jason Thorn, Jamie insisted I not even think about using that name because it would suggest I have a small cock. John Leslie saw I was nervous about making my first porn movie. He was very supportive. When I told John I aspired to do ‘legit’ work someday, he replied, “It’s all legit.” I never forgot that. I owe a lot to the icons of porn and the lessons I learned from them. O’, by the time Jamie and I arrived to the set, I decided to use my real name, Paul Barresi.
