Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox adult biography
Herschel Savage (born Harvey Cohen, November 25, 1952 – October 8, 2023) was an American pornographic actor, director, and stage actor who appeared in over 1,000 adult films.[1] In 2002, AVN ranked him 46th on their list of The Top 50 Porn Stars of All Time.[2] He was also inducted into the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame.[3][4]
Early life
Herschel Savage was born as Harvey Cohen on November 25, 1952, in New York City, to Russian-Jewish parents.[5][6][7] His mother battled with obsessive-compulsive disorder.[8] Growing up, he attended a Conservative synagogue.[9] Savage saw his first adult film The Nun's Bad Habit at a movie theater in Times Square.[8]
Savage began studying acting under Broadway theatre actress Uta Hagen and renowned acting teacher Stella Adler.[10][11] Savage initially sought a mainstream stage and screen career.[7] However, he became disillusioned by the constant auditioning and competition for roles.[10] He also worked for an exercise company.[8]
Career
Savage was introduced to the adult film industry via the actor R. Bolla in 1976.[10] He went on to become one of the biggest stars of the "Golden Age of Porn" in the 1970s and 1980s.[10] Savage appeared in the 1978 classic Debbie Does Dallas, for which he was paid about $150 a day.[11] The film was a financial success, becoming one of the top five highest grossing adult films of all time.[6] Some of the other films he appeared in include Expose Me Now, Bodies in Heat, and Rambone Does Hollywood.[11] He created the stage name "Herschel Savage" with adult actor Jamie Gillis in an attempt to combine a 'nerdy Jewish identity' with that of a stud.[10]
During the mid-1980s, Savage helped to organize sex workers in San Francisco to fight for better wages.[1] The initiative was ultimately abandoned after production studios threatened to blacklist performers.[1] In 1986, Savage appeared in a cameo for the neo-noir crime film 52 Pick-Up starring Roy Scheider and Ann-Margret.[5] He was credited as "Harvey Cowen". In 1988, Savage was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame.[4][12] That same year, he left pornography to work in sales and video distribution.[7] He returned to performing in 1997.[7]
Savage appeared as a guest during the fifth season of the NBC sitcom Just Shoot Me, with Ron Jeremy, which aired on February 1, 2001.[13] In 2003, he performed a stand-up routine on an episode of the reality television series Family Business. Savage portrayed a detective in the 2008 parody film The Texas Vibrator Massacre.[14] He appeared alongside other adult performers in the documentary series After Porn Ends 3 in 2018.[15] Savage appeared in more than 1000 adult films.[1] He was also inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.[3]
Stage
Savage performed under the name "Max Cohen" in a 2006 production of Neil Simon's The Prisoner of Second Avenue.[5][7] In January 2013, he portrayed pornographic film director Gerard Damiano in the Los Angeles production of The Deep Throat Sex Scandal, a play described as the "theatrical telling of the back story of Deep Throat."[9][16] His performance drew positive reviews.[17] Writing for The Los Angeles Times, Charlotte Stoudt called Savage's portrayal of Damiano "surprisingly cogent".[18] Myron Meisel from The Hollywood Reporter remarked that he "engenders endearing empathy as the amiably deluded director Damiano."[19] Steven Leigh Morris from LA Weekly deemed his performance "dramatic comedy terra firma".[20] Savage credited the play with "renewing [his] love for performing on stage."[8]
Savage appeared as himself in Pretty Filthy, a musical about the adult film industry.[21] He also performed in the interactive dinner show Joni and Gina's Wedding.[22] In July 2016, Savage premiered Porn Star: My Life In The Sex Industry, an autobiographical one-man show, which he successfully funded through a Kickstarter campaign.[23]
Personal life and death
Savage was a practicing Buddhist.[17] He resided in California.[17]
Herschel Savage died on October 8, 2023, at the age of 70.[24]
