Craig Loftin:
Clone is the biography of legendary gay male porn director and star Al Parker, real name Andrew Okun. After his initiation to sex by being raped in a Massachussetts cornfield, Okun attended Woodstock and had his face on the movie poster despite spending the majority of the festival having sex with a Hell's Angel. Okun moved West, and after stints as a Playboy Mansion butler and on the Dating Game, Okun met porn-maker Rip Colt. Colt remade Okun into Al Parker, creating a gay icon in the process—his image so ubiquitous, that he soon became known as “clone.” Okun succumbed to AIDS in 1992, but not before becoming an outspoken activist for responsible sex practices.
