Porn Valley- I talk to John Bowen Thursday night. Bowen, who's shooting for Damaged Pictures these days http://adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=7995, tells me that a passage in the Legs McNeil Book The Other Hollywood is incorrect. It quotes Tricia Devereaux as saying that she's positive she got HIV from Marc Wallice on a "John Bond" set http://adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=8284
Here's the sentence: "Devereaux says that she worked with Wallice twice within two weeks- both on John Bond sets. "So it was definitely one of those times," she says. Both scenes were anals says Devereaux who suspects it was probably the second one that did it when Wallice came on her ass. "And some of it got into my body."
Bowen whose screen alias is John T. Bone says it was his set where the incident occured. Bowen said the timing and circumstances were unfortunate. "I was happy to be working with her," says Bowen. "She was semi-contracted to me. She liked Marc. She liked working with him and she requested him. I always felt that it happened on my shoot. She's only confirming what I always believed."
Bowen said he doesn't want to be known as the guy whose shoot it was. "But, fuck it. Spell my goddamn name right then I can really complain."
