Nina Hartley and Tracy Adams. The science fiction-themed porn is one of comedian Dave Attell's favorite porn films, which he describes as "kind of like a sexy Frankenstein's monster thing, and they create the ultimate fuck machine." The next year, Summers and Everett started to date again, eventually moving back in together. Everett continued to direct films, including the film Luke Ford calls Everett's finest film: Mirage, starring Ashlyn Gere. The following year, they had another son, Tanner. In 1994, an employee working for Everett on set, named Mondo, introduced Everett and Summers to crystal meth. Summers became addicted and Mondo burned the family's house down while using meth. Summers and Mondo left Everett and the two children. Everett directed 18 films over the course of two years, and continued to act in porn, trying to bring in income to provide for his two sons. By 1996, Everett struggled to find work as a director, as the porn industry shifted from romance and glamour to more raw and aggressive themes. He worked at Totally Tasteless Video as a director, writer, editor and cameraman. In 1999, author Linda Alexander wrote a book about her friendship with Everett and his work, titled Dorothy From Kansas Meets the Wizard of X. He retired from the industry in the early 2000s. Life in retirement Everett was inducted into the Erotica Hall of Fame in 2004. In 2005, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and he filed for bankruptcy after incurring excessive debt due to cancer treatment. That same year, his landlord sold the home Everett was renting, forcing him to move out. Everett lived in a tent in a forest outside of Los Angeles. As of 2020, he is cancer free and living in a home in the Los Angeles area. Everett calls today's porn industry "demeaning to women" and that "it's not like the lovemaking we did in the 1970s and 1980s." He credits the Golden Age of Porn with helping a society as a whole with exploring sexuality.
