Gerardo Rocco "Gerard" Damiano (August 4, 1928[1] – October 25, 2008)[2] was an American director of adult films.
Damiano wrote and directed the 1972 pornographic film Deep Throat, which starred Linda Lovelace. He also directed The Devil in Miss Jones, which ranked No. 7 in Variety's list of the top-grossing pictures of 1973. Deep Throat came in at No. 11 that year, its second consecutive year on the list.[3] Damiano is one of the seminal directors of what is known as The Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984).[4][5]
