Trouble

Bob Mizer took many photos of Jerry Sims alone and with a partner, but he did only one film, a solo.  Here he is in Physique Pictorial where we get his Subjective Characters.  The most interesting one is the symbol for hypochondriac.  Mizer relates how Jerry had to be taken to a hospital for an "injury" he obtained while shooting a film.  

Click his label to see more photos.  His duo with Tico Patterson remains one of my favorite AMG photo shoots from that era.

  1. JERRY SIMS was also considered to be mentally unstable by Bob Mizer's codes. Mizer said he was a TOP or bottom and his claim to like women was skaky. He was expensive for Men.

  2. He was a young Marine in Viet Nam. His stepmother's obituary names his wife as Dianna. His gravestone in Camp Butler National Cemetery says he's a loving father and grandfather.
    By marriages, he's my 7th cousin, once removed. Links:
