Harry Reems is the stage name of one of the best-known porn stars of the 1970s.
Harry Reems was born Herbert Streicher to a Jewish family in Bronx, New York on August 27, 1947. He served briefly in the United States Marine Corps before electing to pursue an acting career, principally in off-Broadway theater.
Looking for ways to support himself, Streicher began to appear in dozens of short, silent stag films, often referred to as "loops", during the early 1970s. He eventually went on to appear in approximately 140 feature-length sexploitation and hardcore films between 1971 and 1989, with Deep Throat (1972) and The Devil in Miss Jones (1973) being the best known as well as roughies like Forced Entry (1971) and Sex Wish (1976). In the former, he plays a sadistic Vietnam veteran hellbent on rape and murder; while the latter has him as a husband turned vigilante to seek revenge of the rape and murder of his wife. In 1975, he published a memoir, Here Comes Harry Reems, in which he details the early years of his experience as an adult film actor. He had sex (in hardcore pornographic film) with the underage Traci Lords.
