The influence of Larry Flynt’s Hustler brand on American culture cannot be denied, from the original Hustler Club of the 1970s to the iconic magazine to movies and retail—and, most importantly, as a beacon for free speech. The late Larry Flynt was a pioneer and patriot whose empire helped establish the modern adult industry while defending the rights of freedom of expression for all. On Sept. 19, that legacy was celebrated at Hustler’s 50th Anniversary red carpet gala hosted by Mrs. Liz Flynt at the Hustler Hollywood store on Hollywood Boulevard.
