- Mal Whorb (aka Carter Stevens ✦Oct 17, 1944 - †Dec 30, 2020)
After graduating with a degree in photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Mal Whorb began working at the largest independent film processing laboratory in the country - MovieLab in New York - in 1965. The lab made the American prints for I Am Curious (Yellow) as well as exploitation fare for such producers as David Friedman. It did not do hardcore.
Mal wanted to direct but he first needed to gain experience. So under the name Carter Stevens he made the 1972 porno The Collegiates starring Harry Reems. Two years later, Carter directed Lickety Split, which was Screw's number six film of 1974. It ranked amongst Variety's top 50 grossing films for 1974. One week in New York, it was the city's highest-grossing movie.
"Before I got into adult, I talked it over with my mother. She wanted to know if it would hurt my career. 'What career?' I said.
"My parents had liberal attitudes. My mother used to say about sex, 'When it's great, it's great, and when it's lousy, it ain't too bad.'"
Whorb took the first part of his porn name from his first wife's middle name - Carter - while Mal's middle name is Stevens.
"Gerry Damiano came from a Catholic background and his films are obsessed with guilt. I'm Jewish. We don't have that problem. You won't see obsessions with guilt in my work or that of other Jews. Damiano and I had fascinating discussions on this theme."
Whorb married twice. Of his three children, two are adults. Mal has a younger sister and a younger brother who practices Orthodox Judaism. Avraham Whorb has a Master's Degree in Philosophy and has written two arcane books on Jewish theology.
Carter Stevens' second wife was a stripper and occasional porn performer who used the stage name "Baby Doe". She appears in Throat - 12 Years Later.
"I met her when she came into a porno casting session I ran but decided she didn't want to do it. Still, we got to know each other..."
Carter specializes in S-M. His best known flicks include
- Rollberbabies, Hot Oven, White Hot, Teenage Twins, Tinseltown, Punk
Rock and Mount of Venus. He performed in over 50 films as well as hundreds of loops using such names as Steve Mitchell and Peter Sutinov.
"Marlene Willoughby and I felt like husband and wife. We became that bored with working with each other. She was skinny while I'm big. We weren't well matched."
During the 1970s and early '80s, Carter worked frequently for the Mafia's main man in porn - Robert DiBernardo.
Carter's last pornographic feature film was 1982's White Hot.
During the late '80s, he shot numerous bondage flicks in Europe which Bizarre distributed in America.
Like other high testosterone males such as John Dough and Steve Hatcher, Carter enjoys riding motorcycles. He was hobbling around in the Spring of 1997 after an accident when I first talked with him.
Carter publishes various S-M magazines, (ie: "Footprints") and can be found on the internet.
