Family sources tell us the mogul passed Wednesday morning in Los Angeles from heart failure.
For nearly 50 years, Flynt's been one of the biggest names in the adult entertainment industry. He launched "Hustler" magazine in 1974, which brought him fame and fortune as it skyrocketed in popularity ... and also brought countless legal issues.
Many of these First Amendment battles were chronicled in the Oscar-nominated 1996 film, "The People vs. Larry Flynt," starring Woody Harrelson.
Getty Flynt's magazine and notoriety also led to him being shot in 1978 in a murder attempt by serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin. The shooting left Larry paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, and he suffered from constant pain and other medical issues as a result.
Along with being the name behind the Hustler brand, Flynt's the president of Larry Flynt Publications ... which produces other magazines like "Barely Legal," pornographic videos and Hustler TV.
He also opened the famous Hustler Casino near L.A. in 2000.

I remember that in the 70s I believe he claimed to have become a born-again Christian. It didn’t last long.
I also read that he and Jerry Falwell formed an unlikely friendship.
Shot by the same guy that shot Vernon Jordan.

Gee.
Thinking of something nice to say..thinking..thinking..cant, sorry
I won’t dance on his grave, but I’m not mourning his loss
“Gone is the wild man who alleged his first sexual encounter was with a chicken, lined up 20 hookers in a row in order to fornicate them all and called Justice Sandra Day O’Conner
“a token c***”.
Larry is now impotent except for push-button penile implants, when his health allows.”
Hollywood Reporter 2013
It’s all fun and games until you take your last breath and find yourself at a Great White Throne and a judge who knows the facts of every case.
All bullshit falls to the floor.
The man who caused me to never eat tacos again...

Too late for prayers. If he died as he lived, his new residence is the lake of fire for eternity.
