I shot my very first boy girl scene for John for Fresh Meat part 3, He wanted to shoot a reverse rape scene, which I was really excited to shoot. I think it was one of the only reverse rape scenes shot for a regular porn movie, but John was anything but regular. I got a little carried away and ended up knocking John Dekker’s cap off of his tooth( that earned me the nickname slugger), John loved that I wasn’t afraid to let macara run down my face and get a little rough. We smoked a good cigar after that scene and I gained an extrordinary respect for him as a director. I had always considered him attractive and hit on him once before I met his beautiful wife, he refused me and explained that he was monogamous and faithful to his wife, and I gained respect for the man behind the director. I later met his stunningly beautiful wife and had to stop myself from hitting on her! I remember dinners with the Evil Angel guys, and smoking good cigars, and being the only girl allowed in the boys club. John was a brilliant director and an even better man, with one of the sharpest wits around, and I always tried to listen to every thing he said. He taught me so much about life and I feel blessed for having known him. I’m tearing up as I write this, my condolences to his beautiful wife and family. I will be smoking a cigar in your honor tonight, Rest in Peace my old friend.
That was a really nice tribute, Ruby!
I believe my first scene for John was in Fresh Meat #4.
I had left the business in ’97 for a couple of years and he was the one guy I was regretful that I turned down work for after he had called me.
Ruby,
Thanks for sharing your great tribute to Mr. Leslie.
Thanks Ruby, you shot some hot stuff with him…now people are gonna look up the old stuff and you will have to come out of retirement.
ruby, don’t know if thats a recent pic, but larry’s right. you will have to shoot a scene for tom byron’s “cum back pussy” series.
Hey that was really nice Ruby! I will be smoking a couple of JOINTS for John tonight! This is a real bummer! Thanks again Ruby!
I looked back at the listings of John’s films, acting & directing, as an impressive body of work as there has been in porn history. This is and was a class guy who had skill enough to not rely on doing a porn parody.
wow is all I can say. I met him a few times and we had some great discussions about me being Sicilian and about New York and the good old days of porn. He was a wonderful man and a true legend and tremendous credit to this industry.
Great job Ruby.
Fucking A, Jeremiah Steele….what shitty timing you have…leaving the biz in 1997…just before the viagra boys entered the biz and took all the work. You, Surewood, and Kyle Stone got your work cut back thanks to phifizer.
Anyway, John Leslie was the man. I liked how he got mental and tried to get in the woman’s mind during a sex scene. He would talk nasty to them and mesmerize them with his piercing eyes.
I liked his early directing stuff because most of it starred a dark, long haired beauty named Selena Steel.
2 legends gone in the same year…Gillis and Leslie
Bill Margold is losing all his kids
Thanks guys, John Leslie set the empowering tone for my career, and let me know true love and monogamy was possible. The man was a true genius. I got to see him the year I got the hall of fame and he got to see me married happily and very pregnant the year before. In my opinion John is the reason I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful son and daughter. He showed me it was possible.
beautiful moving eulogy Ruby, for a true giant in the business. If he helped you to happiness , then he was even a greater man than i was aware of.
