Paul Raymond tried to be a mind reader at age 22, and at age 30 he had a daughter Debbie. He quickly built an empire in London on strip clubs, real estate, and dirty magazines. At one time he was considered Britain's wealthiest man. He loved his daughter, but he gave her Coke when she was pregnant. She died of a heroin overdose at only the age of 36. Paul lived as recluse the remaining 16 years of his life.

"The Look of Love" is British biography film about Paul Raymond starring Jackie Coogan.


If you like stories about people who have everything and lose it all, this film will be up your alley.

Dirty magazines? Paul Raymond Publications were (are, I guess, I don't know anymore) the Rolls Royce of dirty magazines. Mayfair, Model Directory and many others had the best-looking ladies in the nicest layouts on glossy paper in the best layout spreads (pun intended). Porn stars like Jenna Jameson were often featured before they were stars on the screen.

That's Steve Coogan in the photo. I don't think he has a daughter.

Sorry! I meant to say the part was being played by Steve Coogan. Jackie Coogan was a popular American actor.


The actress is Imogen Poots who is playing Debbie Raymond, the daughter.
