Swedish Erotica 237 - Aunt Peg's Big Interview

This is the second loop Seka made for Swedish Erotica in 1978. Like most loops by this label it has been used in numerous compilations over the years. Her co-stars here are the legendary Jamie Gillis and Juliet Anderson (who used the name Aunt Peg in a lot of her loops). 

Jamie Gillis had spent most of the 1960s travelling around Europe as a mime artist before going to college and becoming a stage actor in New York. In 1971 saw an advertisement in the Village Voice for nude actor work.

with Annette Haven

"I was driving a cab around that time to make money, and also working theater at night. It was hectic and it was hard to do all that. So I was looking for something easy to do for a couple hours during the day. I picked up the Village Voice looking for a part time job. I thought I’d do something like packing boxes, anything, and I saw this ad under ‘part time jobs’. I thought why not?"

"That was placed by Bob Wolfe. He filmed 8mm hardcore sex loops in a dirty basement on 14th St. I responded, and my career in porn films started. I still did plays from time to time, but in truth, there was no going back."

Gillis, along with with actors like Harry Reems and Marc Stevens, is considered one of the original pioneers of the New York porn inductry. He was there at the beginning.

 

 

Juliet in the 1960s

Juliet Anderson grew up in a middle class family in Burbank, California. After graduating from California State in Long Beach with a major in Art and a minor in English, she worked a series of jobs before leaving America in the early sixties to teach English in Mexico, Japan and eventually Europe. She moved to Greece in the late 1960s and had a romantic relationship with the Greek politician Alexander Papadogonas. In 1971, she settled in Finland where she worked for the Finnish Broadcasting Company as a radio programmer until 1977.

She moved to San Francisco in 1977, where she hoped to resume her radio career, but opportunities proved thin on the ground. The following year she met Alex de Renzy, who was also producing porn films. Juliet was a broad-minded woman with a high sex drive, and it didn't take much convincing for her to investigate this option.

"I was so impressed with what a gentleman he was. He did not put the make on me at all. He was bright, he was sweet. I thought, 'What a nice man'. He didn’t even ask to look at my breasts! He trusted his assistant, he just looked at the schedule and asked when I could start work."

Her first movie was Pretty Peaches in 1978 where she had sex with John Leslie.

"So about twelve hours later the phone started ringing off the hook from all the producers in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area. Everyone from the 16mm loops to the 35mm films; I was like hot property!"
