Michael Mark, a longtime friend and his business manager since 1994, announced West's passing on social media, saying he was “....writing this post through heartbreak and tears as my dearest friend and true Brother, Randy West, has begun his climb up the Stairway to Heaven to join his folks and friends who have left before him.”
Born Andy Abrams on October 12, 1947 in New York, West’s lengthy career began with a non-sex appearance in 1977’s Emanuelle: Perche Violenza alle donne? (aka Emanuelle Around the World). He followed this up two years later by venturing into adult as the stud in 10 minute film loops like Pleasure Productions Film 255 by VCR opposite Samantha Fox and Vanessa Del Rio.
John Stagliano, founder of Evil Angel, which distributed West's movies for many years, told AVN, “I did strip shows with Randy in 1980. He was to me the first really good looking guy who could perform well in the porn features shot then. And he could act! He added producing and directing in Dirty Debutantes then did his own lines, one of which was Up and Cummers, which specialized (like Dirty Debutantes) in the same thing—interviewing and shooting new girls.
"This was a big fad in the early '90s. I also shot him several times in features—he was good! He had a great reputation among us directors. This he did with no medical assistance; he was a true hero to us porn fans.”
West appeared in well over 1,500 adult releases from 1977-2010, including 129 volumes in his flagship Up and Cummers line, where following a brief interview, he also performed with almost every girl—so his actual number of scenes was considerably higher. He shot both amateurs and new performers, most notably the first appearance of Jenna Jameson in Up and Cummers 10.
West was blessed with a ruggedly handsome face, athletic body, a permanent suntan thanks to much time spent on the golf greens, and an undeniable ability to perform. He was in strong demand for many companies.
“I first hired Randy to be in my scripted features,” Dirty Debutantes producer and star Ed Powers recalled. “He was a great actor, could do every scene verbatim. He was also a dedicated golfer. If there was a lull for a few hours in shooting, he would take off and play a few rounds—and always made it back on time.”
West pursued his love of golf until his health literally put a stop to it—four years ago, he had a serious heart attack while golfing, followed by another that left his heart functioning at a greatly reduced capacity. A bypass helped, but his energy level was never the same.
West was special to Powers and did perhaps 40 scenes with him as one of The Nasty Bros (video hosts/performers) in the Dirty Debutantes series. “We remained friends over the years and he used to send me jokes all the time—until recently when they stopped coming,” Power said.
Powers traveled extensively with West, and together they shot in places like Asia, Amsterdam and France. “We decided he needed his own series (Up and Cummers), which I distributed for the first dozen or so in the series,” Powers explained, “and then we agreed to move it to Stagliano, who had better distribution.”
Looks like Randy West bought a 4BR house in Summerlin in 2005 for 730k. It's worth $1,045,000 now. 2900 square feet. Big for a guy living by himself.
I ended up building a house in Vegas in 2021 and got a 2.2% rate. It has appreciated about 15% since then, although well below peak.
Kinda regretting it tbh, but I'm probably not going anywhere any time soon with rates being what they are.
I vaguely remember him from 80's porn. Ginger Lynn still does it for me.Quote:

This is the news I have been waiting for.
Close to 60% of the homes for sale in the Las Vegas Valley have been on the market for more than a month, according to a report.

During the housing boom in the 90s, I remember the numerous colorful road side signs adverting condos and town homes in the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc.Quote:

Why Las Vegas is leading the country in new home listings
Las Vegas’ housing market leads the entire country in one key metric: new home listings.
A new report from Redfin found that year over year up through the end of August, new listings rose most in the Las Vegas metro (12.8 percent), beating out San Diego (11.7 percent) and Sacramento (9.5 percent). New listings fell the most in Atlanta (-19.4 percent).
Las Vegas Realtors President Merri Perry said Las Vegas’ growth is tangible, with the success of professional sports teams as well as the relocation of the Athletics and planned projects such as a Sony movie studio in Summerlin.
“Everyone is coming here,” she said. “I’ve had a lot of cash buyers come in, and a lot of Californians are coming because prices are so high they can sell their property and pay cash here and have a big nest egg because everything in Las Vegas is cheaper.”
Approximately 158,000 people relocated to Nevada from California from 2020 through 2023, making up 43 percent of all new residents to the Silver State during the past four years, according to data from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.
Exactly what I have been waiting for-

Las Vegas Valley home sellers are slashing prices on their listings at an increased rate compared with last year, but it doesn’t appear buyers are biting, according to a report.

Of course the market is down. It’s hard to plan your future when the President changes his economic policies on a daily basis.Quote:
