From Amber:
I was busy scanning some favorites from a box of old photos last weekend, and came across this gem from one of the first AVN award ceremonies.
What can I say about the late, great Jamie Gillis? He was a good friend and frequent “professional partner”, a shoulder to lean on when needed – and hands down the most talented male performer ever to grace the industry. And I’m just talking about his acting chops. Don’t get me started!
“I lived with him and at one point I was engaged to him, and we had a very serious, very real relationship, so it’s devastating. He started contacting me again about a year ago, and he didn’t tell me he had cancer, but I could tell that he wanted to be friends and be in contact, so it makes perfect sense to me now. At the time I just was really happy to hear from him. We had not been in close contact.” – AVN
I’m showing off the promise ring Jamie gave me in this photo. Things ultimately didn’t work out between us, but we lived together for a long time and he’ll always have a special place in my heart.
My favorite on-set memory of Jamie is definitely the scene we shared in Taboo 5. There will always be a little bit of my character, Satana, in me to say the least – what a fun shoot!
If you remember the movie, or any other scenes I did with Mr. Gillis, I’d love to hear what you think. I’d also love to know if you’d like to hear about more memories from specific movies, friends I had in the “biz”, or anything else you’re curious about. All you have to do is ask me in the comments, and – yes – it’s really me.
There is one movie you made and during the sex scene you are heard saying ” you are the best”. Was that Jaime you were saying that to? And or what movie was that?
You’d probably need to do some research and tell me, EMC. It was a long time ago. But I appreciate your comment.
Did you do well with peter north?
Oh for sure. He was a terrific co-star.
