Ken Sprague, an Icon

[lasolasbud]

I’m wondering why no one has written a book or screen play on Ken Sprague a bodybuilder, school teacher, prostitute, gay porn actor and owner and of the original Gold's Gym.

Ken an athlete and amateur bodybuilder is encouraged by a friend to model and poses for Jim French the founder of Colt Studios and works under the name Dakota.

He also married a black girl, which was frowned upon back in the 60s. So was Ken straight or bi and how did that work within porn and marriage?

Ken starts doing hardcore gay sex films called loops, short films for Colt as well as hustling on the side becoming financially stable. If you watch any of the films, Ken is very versatile and looks like he’s having a good time.

Now with some serious cash and member at a small unprofitable and declining Gold’s Gym, he buys it and the rest is history. Still connected to gay porn he even buys a film studio and recruits bodybuilders to make films.

This guy’s life is amazing! A real pioneer and cultural icon! And he’s still alive to tell his story.

Funny you should say that. I just did a video on my youtube channel and podcast about Ken Sprague, aka, Dakota.

Hi. I watched your vid on Ken a few weeks ago and it sparked my interest. I worked in porn briefly back in the late 90s at Colt. Ken's life is fascinating, and I wonder why no one has written about his life. I think he's still alive, so he'd be a great person to interview, write a book, screenplay and even a movie. I'm no longer connected with Hollywood so I thought if I wrote something on LPSG someone would run with it.

Those were interesting times for Ken Sprague.

I'm only just learning about him, but it sounds like he had a really interesting life! I'll have to look up some of his porn.
