Two actors from the infamous adult film Debbie Does Dallas died this year, Herschel Savage died in October at age 70 and Jake Teague died in July at age 96.

Savage had a career spanning 40 years, 1974-2014 and was considered a legend within the adult film industry.

Teague worked in the industry from 1975-1983, and then abruptly left and spread rumors that he had died. In fact, Teague's IMDB page still lists his death as 1983. But he did not. He found Jesus, had a small part in the 1995 JCVD film Sudden Death, and had a successful career as a motivational speaker. A profile of him can be found here: https://www.therialtoreport.com/2023/09/24/jake-teague/
