American porn actor Joey Stefano was BOTD in 1968. Born Nicholas Iacona Jr in Chester, Pennsylvania to a working-class family, his father died when he was a teenager, leading to problems with drug abuse. After attending drug rehabilitation, he attempted to become a model, supporting himself as an erotic dancer at the Gaiety Theatre in New York City. In 1989, during a visit to Los Angeles, he met porn director Chi Chi LaRue, who renamed him Joey Stefano and cast him in a series of gay porn films. He quickly became a star in the gay porn industry, becoming well-known as a hungry power bottom. As well as an on-off relationship with LaRue, Stefano also had an affair with music producer David Geffen, whom he outed as gay in a series of television interviews in 1990. (Geffen publicly acknowledged his homosexuality in 1992). Stefano’s image and success caught the attention of Madonna, who used him as a model for her erotic coffee table book Sex and two of her music videos. Stefano struggled with drug abuse throughout his life, dying of a drug overdose in 1994, aged 26. His life and legacy was chronicled in Charles Isherwood’s 1996 biography Wonder Bread and Ecstasy: The Life and Death of Joey Stefano and in David Bret’s 2015 book Joey Stefano: The Life, Loves & Legacy of the Prince of Passion.
