Favorite Birthday Boy for December 31st:

Joe Dallesandro
From:  Favorite Hunks & Other Things
 I find myself turned off, and turned on at the same time by Joe Dallesandro, who turns 65 today. Not such a bad thing...








Here is Joe in Trash, a movie I do actually like.


 Joseph Angelo D'Allesandro III (born December 31, 1948), better known as Joe Dallesandro, is an American actor and Warhol superstar. Although he never became a mainstream film star, Dallesandro is generally considered to be the most famous male sex symbol of American underground films of the 20th century, as well as a sex symbol of gay subculture.


Dallesandro starred in Flesh as a teenage street hustler. Rolling Stone magazine in 1970 declared his second starring vehicle, Trash, the "Best Film of the Year", making him a star of the youth culture, sexual revolution and subcultural New York art collective of the 1970s.



Dallesandro is bisexual, has married three times, and has two children. He first married in 1967, to Leslie, the daughter of his father's girlfriend, and their son, Michael, was born circa 1968, but they divorced in 1969. His second marriage was to Terry (Theresa), in 1970, and their son, Joseph A. Dallesandro, Jr., was born November 14, 1970. The couple divorced in early 1978. He has a grandson and a granddaughter by Michael and a grandson by Joseph. In 1987, he married a third time, to Kimberly and divorced and remarried again in 2011.

Dallesandro is semi-retired from acting, and currently manages an apartment building in Los Angeles.
