Gail Palmer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gail Palmer (also Gail Palmer-Slater, real name Gail Parmentier, born in 1954 or 1955[1]) was active as a writer, producer and director of pornographic movies in the U.S. during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Among her well-known movies are Hot Summer in the City (1976) starring Lisa Baker as a white girl who is abducted and abused by a group of black men, and the comedies The Erotic Adventures of Candy (1978) starring John Holmes and Carol Connors and Candy Goes to Hollywood (1979) starring Carol Connors and later punk singer Wendy O. Williams.
After a visit to Hunter S. Thompson's home in 1990 she accused the writer of sexual assault; the charges were later dropped.[2]
She was featured in Playboy September 1977 as a Michigan State girl, mentioned in Playboy February 1979 in "The Year in Sex", and in an article in Swank in June 1980. Her autobiography, Candy goes to Hollywood: the Gail Palmer story, appeared in 1994.
In Peter Sagal's 2007 book The Book of Vice, Sagal goes into how she did not actually direct the movies attributed to her, and was actually a front for her boyfriend.[3]
