Kristen Bjorn Confidential: More true confessions from the editor of an ’80s gay smut magazine
The Advocate, and a model we used recently in Mandate. Dennis and his partner, Michael, live on Golden Gate Ave. in an Italianate single-family Victorian built in 1876 which obviously survived the earthquake with no harm done.”Fast forward to the present.Dennis now lives in North Carolina with a different partner, Robert McQueen died in 1989, and the young man just setting out on his career would soon become famous under the name Kristen Bjorn.
Before that, however, he appeared in three videos produced by Falcon. Then his interest shifted to making videos rather than appearing in them, and within a few years he was internationally famous.
As producer-director of some 200 films, he is known to every gay man who ever watched an erotic movie.By 1985 he was such a brand name that I ran a lengthy interview with him in the November issue of Mandate that year.
The blazing cover blurb proclaimed: “EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: THE KRISTEN BJORN STORY.”Since he had moved to Brazil almost three years earlier, I mailed my questions and we completed the interview by phone.
