Donald Biggers:  

Donald Biggers of Fresno High School (1973-1975) and Hoover High School (1975-1976) legally changed his name to Ian Ayres in 1978 and has lived in Paris, France since 1989 as a poet, writer, singer and filmmaker for French Connection Films.

Because the first edition of his memoir "Private Parts" sold so well, Ian Ayres has revised and expanded an even more revealing second edition that includes how he inspired the movie "Risky Business". See Donald Biggers during his days as a Hoover student while also known as Junior Pimp for helping his mom, Fresno's most notorious madam, Marilyn Laird (check 1970s archives of The Fresno Bee), run her chain of brothels called massage parlors.
