Lemuel Firth Amero, a multifaceted creative genius, was born on September 24, 1937, in Gloucester, Massachusetts. His father, John, was a skilled fisherman, and his mother, Gladys, was a devoted housewife. After graduating from Gloucester High School in 1955, Lemuel made the bold decision to relocate to New York City.
In the city that never sleeps, Lemuel began his career as a stage manager at various nightclubs, including the renowned Bal Tabarin on West 46th Street. His talent and dedication also led him to spend several seasons working in summer stock acting and stage managing at the esteemed Lake George Playhouse.
As his passion for the performing arts continued to grow, Lemuel took his first steps into the world of cinema, acting in his debut soft-core film in 1964. This marked the beginning of a long and illustrious career in the film industry.
In the mid-1960s, Lemuel and his younger brother, John Amero, joined forces to form their own production company, Amero Brothers. Initially, the brothers focused on producing soft-core movies, but as the years progressed, they transitioned to more explicit hardcore content in the early 1970s.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Amero brothers continued to produce X-rated films, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. Tragically, Lemuel's life was cut short when he passed away on August 5, 1989, at the age of 51, due to complications from an AIDS-related illness. Despite his untimely death, Lemuel Firth Amero's legacy continues to inspire and influence the world of film and entertainment.
