In 1975, a dark-blond, short of stature with a boyish, unmuscular body and huge cock burst onto the adult film scene. His name was Kip Noll.
But where is he now?
Even in his very first film, he was a star. Trademark Studios issued a small magazine, "The Kip Noll Story," along with his very first hard-core loop. Kip was only 18 years old. He jacked off while wearing a yellow silk high school athletic jacket trimmed in blue. The words "Waipahu High" appeared on the chest. The jacket has become one of the most famous pieces of clothing ever to appear in adult film. (Director Mark Reynolds purchased it in a second-hand clothing shop in Los Angeles, and it was owned by the studio. It later disappeared.)
Kip Noll almost never made it into film. Mark Reynolds says that when he first met Kip Noll, the actor barely registered. Kip had unkempt hair and a mustache. He was so nondescript, the director almost missed him in the crowd. Kip had flown in from San Diego, and Reynolds almost told him to go home. But after shaving the mustache and getting a haircut, Reynolds realized Kip Noll had something ineffable about him that was startlingly attractive.
Kip was supposed to be the brother of Bob Noll. Bob Noll was a beefy, curly-haired blond with piercing blue eyes who had done loops for Trademark. They looked alike, and shared similar masturbatory techniques. Kip soon eclipsed his "older brother," Bob.
Soon, Kip Noll had other "brothers." There was brother Jeff Noll ("Jeff Noll's Buddies"), cousin Marc Noll ("The Adventures of Marc Noll"), brother Scott Noll, brother Chris Noll (aka Scott Noll) and brother Chris Noll.
In his second film, "Double Your Pleasure," he has hard-core gay sex for the first time. He 69s with a boy (Steve Parker) while being fucked doggie-style by another (Mark Lester).
In his first four films, Kip is missing one of his front teeth. But by his fifth film, "I'll Do It If You Will," the tooth has been replaced.
Kip filmed his sixth film, "I'll Do It If You Will," on a farm during the 4th of July weekend. Kip comes home from school to find two other boys on his daddy's farm. He teaches them the joys of sex before they daisy-chain. Kip then sits on a bench and masturbates to orgasm. It's mind-blowing. His whole body flexes and writhes, and he can barely keep his grip on his penis because he's lost all control over his body. It is perhaps one of the most awesome orgasms ever captured on film. (It is also one of the rarest: For reasons not explained, Falcon pulled the loop from its library in 1980. It is now a collector's item.)
Kip took a break from gay porn, and did not make another film until 1979. He did it for William Higgins, a former Congressional staffer who had left public life for adult film. The scene with Emanuelle Bravos not only marks Kip's first scene as a top (he also bottoms), but it marks his first speaking role. (His words, spoken in a deep, masculine voice, are, "I want you to suck my cock.")
In 1980, Kip starred in the first hot tub scene ever in a gay porn film, in "Kip Noll and the Westside Boys, Zip Code 90069" (the "Zip Code 90069" would later be dropped from the title).
Kip was involved in a motorcycle accident in 1980 which prevented him from appearing in "Rear Deliveries" (Catalina, 1980). But later that year, he was better enough to do a due with Lee Marlin for Trademark called "Roommates."
In late 1980, Kip filmed "Grease Monkeys." He, Lee Marlin and Derrick Stanton fuck on Pismo Beach. Kip later said it was the most difficult shoot of his life, because the water was freezing cold and a huge crowd of onlookers kept cheering them on from the cliffs overhead.
Kip helped promote "Grease Monkeys" by appearing in a live stage show at the Eros Theatre in New York City. He, Lee Marlin and Nick Rodgers did a number of dance routines each night. One of them involved Kip coming down into the audience and straddling the armrest of each patron's chair, rubbing his balls and asshole against the armrest.
In 1981, Kip let his hair grow out. It became long, fuzzy and bushy, and marked Kip's transition away from the urban disco-boy and more toward a hippie-ish wild man. In "Pacific Coast Highway," Kip engages in docking -- rolling Jack Burke's foreskin over the knob of his own cock. Kip reunited with "PCH" co-star Jeremy Scott for "Class of '84, Part 2." Scott is the last man to fuck Kip Noll on screen.
In 1981, Kip fucks Derrick Stanton in "Brothers Should Do It." It's not a well-lit scene, but Kip is clearly having fun poking Stanton with abandon. Noll reunited with director Mark Reynolds and super-hung Steve York for the incest-themed "Cumming of Age." The two are joined by Kip's "brother," Scott Noll. Kip teaches Scott how to masturbate while watching the loop, "Kip Noll." They start to fuck when York walks in on them, and joins in. Kip later told friends that Scott Noll was completely over the moon for Steve York, and York was difficult to work with due to his struggles with his homosexuality. Kip said he felt shunted aside, and the scene shows it. But Reynolds says this is his favorite film of all time.
Kip joined with Al Parker at Surge Studios to fuck Scott Noll again (this time, Scott appeared as "Chris Noll"). A second scene with Parker intercut with shots of Scott Noll jacking off in the shower become a surreal set of still photographs that turn into live-action shots. The film is notable because it originally contained a third scene ("We Tarzans, You Boy, Oh, Boy!") with Noll, Noll and Parker having sex on a hammock. It eventually was sold as a stand-alone loop by Mustang Studios prior to that studio's purchase by Falcon, but the loop has since been lost.
In 1981, Higgins collaborated again with Noll -- this time to do new footage with Jon King for "Kip Noll, Superstar, Part 1." (A second segment was planned but never made. The "Part 1" has now been dropped from the film.) Noll is interviewed (apparently legitimately) by Jon King. Clips from "The Boys of Venice," "Kip Noll and the Westside Boys," "Pacific Coast Highway" and "Brothers Should Do It" are shown. After the last clip, King and Noll smoke a joint and then have scorching sex. Kip loses control during his orgasm, almost collapsing.
Also in 1981, the Follies Theatre opened in New York City. Kip appeared there in September. Every single one of his performances was sold out. The reaction was unprecedented. Crowds stood in the aisles, the back the of theater and the lobby. Some audience members obtained tickets for seats on the floor of the stage. Lines for the show backed up into the street.
Noll became famous for having sex with the audience. He often would put his erection into patron's mouths and fuck their faces for 10 or 15 seconds. Once, Kip Noll pulled a patron out of his seat and up on stage, where he proceeded to suck the man for several minutes. The two eventually performed a live 69 sex show for the crowd. Another time, two lovers who had come to the show night after night had a small argument in the theater. Apparently, one man had always sat on the aisle, getting Kip's prick in his mouth. "Look, tonight I'm going to sit on the aisle seat!" the other lover loudly said. Kip overhead. When he came to their seat, he stepped into the row, allowing both lovers to slurp on his prick at the same time.
After each show, Noll often came back into the theater to shake hands with fans and chat. He signed hundreds of autographs each night.
Kip Noll returned to the Follies for their New Year's Eve Roman Orgy. The audience was encouraged to strip and sit in their seats with only a towel over their crotches. Kip danced all night.
In 1983, Kip Noll made one last film. It was "Kip Noll's Casting Couch." The film was produced and financed by Kip himself, and shot entirely on video. Unfortunately, the quality of the video is very low. The film is notable because it features an auto-fellatio segment by straight porn star Ron Jeremy. Kip appears in all the sex scenes, even introducing a new "Chris Noll."
In 1984, Kip Noll re-appeared at the Follies one last time. The club had lost its license and closed for a time, but had recently re-opened. Kip appeared on stage with mega-hung uncut blond Lance and mustachioed leatherman Daniel Holt.
Throughout his career, Kip Noll was truly a superstar. He appeared on the cover of "In Touch" twice, and on the cover of "Stallion" once. He had two magazines devoted solely to him: "The Kip Noll Story" and "Kip Noll Cocky." The artist Nico once drew a picture of Noll and Lance in an erotic embrace for the cover of "Meatmen."
In "Kip Noll, Superstar," Jon King asks Kip Noll why he got into gay porn. "The sex...the enjoyment of it," Noll responds.
Where is Kip Noll now?
In 1985, rumors abounded that he had died of AIDS. But as "Manshots" magazine reported:
This proved to be groundless when a friend, having an "in" at one film house, telephoned and asked if the rumor were true. The answer was, "Just a moment, I'll ask him."
Another rumor is that Kip Noll was straight and got married. In an interview in "In Touch" magazine, Noll said he made no pretense about being straight. But there is conflicting evidence about Noll's hetero- or bi-sexuality. When performing at the Follies in 1981, Noll wore a button with a woman's picture on it; Noll told patrons it was his fiancee. But others said that Noll often appeared with a different woman all the time, and these were just friends.
Kip Noll's final screen appearance may not have had anything to do with gay porn.
In 1985, a made-for-TV movie, "Blackout," appeared on HBO. Richard Widmark meets a gas station attendant just prior to the film's finale. No credit is given for this actor (who speaks two lines), but he looks and sounds just like Kip Noll.
Someone has to know where Kip Noll is now. Someone. There are rumors that he died of AIDS, died of a drug overdose, that he owns a ranch in Montana or Wyoming, that he married and converted to Mormonism and has 12 kids and lives in Utah.
So far, no one has ever proven that he's dead or alive.
