Clone

by Roger Edmonson

"Andrew Okun, later known as Al Parker, stumbled across his destiny one afternoon in 1967 along the railroad tracks outside his hometown of Natick, Mass., when he found a tattered magazine with an ad offering photos from the now-legendary Colt Studios. That same year he lost his virginity at knife-point in an abandoned field. These two events shaped the remainder of his life. He learned of the studio that would catapult him to international stardom, and he experienced the desperation and danger that would feed his desires and fuel his career as Al Parker, the most popular gay film star of all time and the personification of a look that came to be known as the "Clone.""--BOOK JACKET.
