Remembering Matt Sterling and Andy Dill.

Gay Porn Pioneer Matt Sterling died at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles yesterday of a motor-neuron disease that he had long suffered from.

From GayVN.com:

Sterling, along with [director John] Travis, Falcon Studios founder Chuck Holmes, and John Summers, could almost be said to have founded the gay porn industry in California in the 1960s and '70s.

His first gay line was the legendary Brentwood Studios. But it was his movies for Huge Video, from A Matter of Size to Forced Entry that cemented his name in gay porn history.

Because of his illness, Sterling directed very little from the mid-'90s on. His final movies were Feast Your Eyes and a Matter of Size 2.

No word is yet available on funeral services.

Sadly another legend of gay porn died yesterday as well. Director and star Andy Dill passed away quite unexpectedly from meningitis. Having starred with Raging Stallion, Titan, and MSR, Dill got a taste for the industry and decided to go behind the camera with his own studio, Dill Media, as a producer and a director.

Tim and Roma salute Matt Sterling and Andy Dill for their contributions to our industry. We are all honored to be part of what they helped build. Our hearts go out to all of Matt and Andy's families, friends, and loved ones.
