PAPA BEAR

AKA: WILLIAM MARGOLD

....has passed

I knew "Sweet William" in the early to mid seventies. I was an art student fresh out of Otis Art Inst.

Porn had just begun. Bill was a casting agent for the go to porn casting agency:  Reb Sawitz, Sunset International.

He ran a little paper on the side called "LUST"

I did cartoons and illustrations for him.

I eventually ended up at the L.A FREE PRESS with such luminaries as Ronn Cobb and Charles Bukowski

I was there till Larry Flynt bought it and was shot.

I lost contact with William as my life spiraled down the rabbit hole.

Eventually in 2015 I re-established contact with him and visited him in Hollywood in Jan of 2015

Here are all of the shot from that visit.

He agreed to be my agent.  He did what he could but nothing much ever came from it.  The thought was there.

Now he's gone. It only reminds me of my own immortality.

Life is but a flash in a pan.  Now you see it.  Now you don't.

God rest...thank you

Luv...Capt
