  • Bill Baker presents a video tribute to his friend "Jack Baker", also known as John Anthony Bailey! John (or JACK) got his start in the movie industry with "Kentucky Fried Movie" in a hilarious scene. I remember seeing it in the movies when I was young! Who would have thought I'd one day meet and befriend the same guy I saw on Saturday mornings on "Wonderbug", also "Happy Days" - (remember "Sticks" the drummer???,) and "Good Times", "MASH", and more as well as the guy in "New Wave Hookers" and many others from the adult world!! Jack told me the story of getting into the film industry, then going to television, and somehow getting "black balled" and out of work because of a strike, and mentioned Ed Asner told him he'd never work again for striking.... He then found adult entertainment and got some work, but it started to fade and when I met him (either "88 or '89) he was barely working. When we got closer I let him stay with me when I was in Vegas, sometimes I sent him a little money to get by on (that's what "the Letter" in the phone message is about), but even through the tough times he was always goofing and joking and would make the best of any situation. Robin Bougie wrote a great piece on Jack and I was interviewed for it. I believe in "Cinema Sewer" magazine.
    I first ran into him at Russ Meyer's booth, included here, and then again over the weekend. Saw him again the following year and the "Two Bakers" became friends......
    So we had gone to a "show" in Las Vegas after the convention one night in January 1993, and it was raided just after we had left, which he felt was going to happen because of what was going on live on stage, and that's why he refers to "stormtroopers" in one clip. I was like, "Leave, now....you sure? Well ok...." and we did and got the news later that night. He was right!!!
    Jack, I miss you my friend......I'm sorry we didn't get to get together at the end of your life. You will never be forgotten!! Your friend, Bill
