The Star was showing dirty movies in a bad part of town as far back as I can remember. When we'd drive from Cedar Mill to my grandmother's house in Laurelhurst, we'd pass The Star and we kids would always get a laugh at the cheesy titles of the movies that were shown there.
By high school, all the boys knew The Star as the place where you could get in through the back door, watch skin flicks, and see naked ladies live on stage. There was even a rumor that during the movies the dancers came out to the audience and offered special services for the right price.
I suppose that is history, just maybe not the history we want to remember.
