About her dead.
BERKELEY—The body
of Juliet Carr, better known by her adult career name Juliet Anderson,
and even more frequently recognized as one of the characters she
portrayed, "Aunt Peg," was discovered this morning in her residence in
Berkeley by a friend. The cause of death is not yet known, but the
actress suffered for many years with Crohn's disease, which had only
recently been diagnosed, though she had suffered from it for most of her
life.
"I found her in her bed," said her friend Kevin, who became close to the
actress over the last 18 months. "She looked like she was just asleep.
There were no empty pill bottles, nothing out of the ordinary. There
wasn't any alcohol; her wrists weren't slit; nothing."
Kevin had arrived to take the former actress to a doctor's appointment
for a colonoscopy that morning to help in the treatment of her Crohn's.
"She had chronic Crohn's disease, and you can only control so much of
that with diet," Kevin said. "She was a health nut, she was in great
shape, and this was a total shock. ... In her case, it was congenital;
she had it since she was a little kid, and it stopped her from even
going to regular school as a child. it's something she had forever,
probably all her life."
Carr's adult career was unusual, to say the least. Born in Burbank in
1938, the diminutive blonde began acting in adult at the age of 39,
when, as an employee at an advertising and engineering firm, she was
discovered by famed director Alex DeRenzy, who cast her in his 1978
blockbuster hit Pretty Peaches. Her career took off quickly, and she
performed in more than 80 movies over the following 10 years.
Her best-known role, however, was as "Aunt Peg," her character in the
movie of the same name. "Aunt Peg" was a Hollywood agent who had an
unusual method of choosing her clients and of getting them work, as
displayed in Aunt Peg Goes Hollywood and Aunt Peg's Fulfillment. She
also appeared in such top hits as Tangerine, Vista Valley PTA, Dixie Ray
Hollywood Star, Outlaw Ladies, Taboo 1 & 2, Hustler Video Magazine 1,
and in half of the first 24 volumes of the Swedish Erotica series.
Carr also took credit for discovering world-famous star Nina Hartley,
having cast her in 1984 in Educating Nina, which Carr directed. However,
when she was unable to find distribution for the movie, which she had
financed herself, she quit the industry altogether.
"It was a huge undertaking with a strong story, talented actors and
superb production values," Carr wrote. "However, this gem was a
financial and emotional disaster for me. As the first woman producer of
X-rated films, the men who ran that industry were intimidated by me and
retaliated by never releasing Educating Nina. Devastated, I quit the
adult entertainment industry."
"This is really sad news," reflected Hartley. "Juliet did put me in the
movies all those years ago and was a mentor for several years. I saw her
in November up in Berkeley when I did a personal appearance there. She
was in fine health; she was happy. We took a couple of pictures
together, she flashed her boobs—they were still lovely—and since it has
to happen to all of us, I'm grateful that it seemed to happen peacefully
without other incident."
"She was the original cougar before 'cougar' was hot," Hartley added.
Carr's life was, for want of a better term, eclectic. According to her
friends, she followed her American lover to Japan in 1960, married him
briefly, became fluent in the Japanese language and even attended the
university there. In 1965, she lived in Mexico City and taught English
to IBM executives there, and two years later did similar teaching in
Athens, Greece. In 1971, she was a "top-ranking" radio producer in
Finland, creating programs in English about Finland. Between those jobs,
she worked as a secretary to a nudie film producer, an Avis Rent-A-Car
employee, a cocktail waitress, a fashion model and a receptionist for
the home offices of Burger King, all in Miami, Fla. Later, she managed a
bed-and-breakfast in Northern California, and eventually became a
massage therapist, a profession which she practiced until her death.
In 1996, Carr, already an AVN Hall of Famer, was inducted into the
Legends of Erotica Hall of Fame; the XRCO Hall of Fame in 1999; and she
received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Free Speech Coalition in
2001. She also received an honorary Doctor of the Arts degree from the
Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in 2007.
"She was just a wonderful woman," recalled director Wesley Emerson. "She
started late in the industry, and I interviewed her about a month ago
because several of her films are about to be rereleased in France—Coed
Fever, Inside Desiree Cousteau and Talk Dirty To Me—and they wanted some
commentaries from different people. I also talked to her about how she
got started in the eight-millimeter business. She was one of the big
stars of the Swedish Erotica series, and she worked with practically
everybody. We talked about how she got started and all the things she
did in the industry. She was talking about that film she did about older
couples having sex [Ageless Desire, 1998]. I had worked with her many
years ago on the film Bad Company; it was one of those one-day wonders
that you shot in 35mm in those days, and she was great, she was just an
amazing person. She was always there on time, always ready with her
lines, and I thought she was just a wonderful person."
"I heard on the grapevine about a hot new 'older' woman in the biz and
was soon in her apartment interviewing her," remembered photographer
Paul Johnson. "Her name was Judy Carr, later to become Juliet Anderson.
We did a great shoot in a hot tub and patio that became the Connoisseur
Series mag The First Time. [Juliet] was my sexy assistant the last few
years I worked in the biz. Juliet had a great eye and after I taught her
to use a Hasselblad she did great work when I was modeling POVs or
fill-ins. I joked with Juliet that she could learn to use a Hasselblad
but never could learn to flick a Bic. When Juliet and I worked together
we would say that we will always be friends, seems to be true, we had
breakfast together 3 weeks before her death."
"Juliet was a great assistant," he continued. "She had a great eye for
dressing the set, did make-up when needed, and could crack the whip to
keep the rest of us moving. And sometimes when a male was having trouble
keeping it up, Juliet would lend a hand or whatever it took. Away from
the biz I probably spent more time with her than anyone else."
"She was very health-conscious," Emerson noted. "When I saw her last
month, her body was still pretty doggone toned and healthy."
"She was doing an essential kind of massage," said another acquaintance.
"She had an amazing touch with her fingers; it would melt you. If she
would just run her nails down your arm, it felt great."
"Her mom is still alive, and she spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with
her mom and her family," Kevin noted.
