Gail Palmer, a renowned figure in the adult entertainment industry, was allegedly a producer and director of pornographic movies in the United States during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Notably, Peter Sagal, author of the 2007 book The Book of Vice, claimed to have worked as a ghost writer for Palmer, conducting extensive research and interviews with her.
However, Sagal's investigation revealed a shocking truth: Palmer did not, in fact, direct the movies attributed to her. Instead, she served as a front for her boyfriend, Harry Mohney, a prominent porn distributor. This revelation led to questions about the authenticity of Palmer's professional accomplishments and her personal narrative, as her autobiography was also reportedly ghost written.
