Jerry Stephens
I know Jerry posed for AMG in the early 1970s, but I don't think this is an AMG photo. Mizer told us Jerry was openly gay -- a big deal fifty years ago.
JERRY STEPHENS made a short film with CAREY THOMAS at AMG in 1971 called "Stephens and Thomas". It may not ever have been released. It was inplied that JERRY and CAREY were lovers and CAREY also voted for Dorothy. JERRY also made a short film with PAUL FOX at AMG in 1971 called "Cyclist takes a Spill".
James I think this Photo of JERRY STEPHENS was a BobCo Photo by Bob Carr. I know that Bob Carr did photograph JERRY but it may have been sold to Handsome Is Studio who bought many of Bob Carr's photos and never gave Carr credit.
From magazine "Double Exposure" published by Lance Publications P.O. Box 45173 Chicago Ill 60645 dated 1969: "This magazine features the work of two studios - AMG the oldest physique studio in business today and Bobco one of the youngest. However they are ideally suited to the idea of Double Exposure as they are located next door to one another on 11th street in Los Angeles and frequently aid one another by sharing models who come to one or the other". The models in the magazine are Dusty Haven, Justin Love, Rick Walker, David O'Boyle, Jerry Stephens and Carey Thomas, Sonny Scott, Don Hejduk, Corey Snow. Jay Howard, Sleeping Beauty, the Beast with Voldemar and John Travis, Mack Reed, Deak Rivers, Bill Pallus, Blackie Preston, John Thomas, Boy in a Gilded Cage with Don Hejduk and Ron Wallace and Bob Heppe.
