Gay pornographer David Hurles is Old Reliable no longer. > **[David Hurles](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hurles)** > > David Randolph Hurles (c. 1945 – April 12, 2023) was a gay pornographer, whose one-man company, run from a private mailbox, was called Old Reliable Tape and Picture Company. His work, produced primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, falls into three categories: photographs, audio tapes, and videotapes. Hurles' models were typically ex-convicts, hustlers, drifters, and low-lifes. > In the 1960s, Hurles appeared in movies and magazines, with Guild Press, Washington D.C., for whom he was also a photographe... John Waters, a fan of Hurles, once said of him, “David likes psychos. Nude ones. Money-hungry drug addicts with big dicks. Rage-filled robbers without rubbers. And of course, convicts.” I’d never heard of him before perusing the list of celebrity deaths today, but i would love to see a mainstream bio flick of this guy’s life. ---
