Legendary adult performer and director Randy West passed away on Friday at a hospital near his Las Vegas home due to kidney and heart failure. He was 76.
Michael Mark, a longtime friend and West's business manager since 1994, shared the news on social media, expressing his deep sorrow, 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 career began in 1977 with a role in Emanuelle: Perche Violenza alle donne? (also known as Emanuelle Around the World). Two years later, he entered the adult industry, starring in short films alongside notable actresses.
