Legendary Director Fred J. Lincoln Passes

NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—Fred J. Lincoln, legendary director of over 400 features including Maneaters, The Goddaughter 1-4, Lingerie Busters and the notorious A Formal Faucett, a send-up of then-famous actress Farrah Fawcett, died last night at the age of either 74 or 76, depending on which birthdate one believes. While the cause has not been officially determined, friends of Fred's noted that he had recently been suffering from emphysema and heart disease, having survived several previous heart attacks. "The last time I saw Freddie was just a few weeks ago in the hospital," recalled screenwriter Raven Touchstone. "We had just done the Golden Goddesses launch, and I went to the hospital with Bionca Seven, and we walked into his room and there was Annie Sprinkle and [Veronica Hart], and we had a nice time with him. Janie and Annie rubbed his feet, and we talked about him recovering and getting out of there. That was sort of a positive thing, and then he got better, he gained weight—Patty [Rhodes, his estranged wife] said he gained 20 pounds—this was about six weeks ago—had moved to a nursing home and was getting physical therapy. But then he got a cold, he got sick, and couldn't battle out of it and wouldn't eat or do physical therapy and wound up back in the hospital a couple of days ago, and passed away last night. Patty said he had both heart and lung trouble; they were both seriously diseased, and he'd had a couple of heart attacks in the past." Fred had a long and storied history in adult, from the late 1960s in New York City where he was the talent booker for live sex shows and S&M shows for the Times Square theater Show World, to his pivotal role as the villain Weasel Podowski in Wes Craven's horror classic Last House on the Left (1972), to his ownership to the famous New York swing club Plato's Retreat, to his first adult feature, Souperman, for VCA in 1976.
