American publisher Larry Flynt, who turned "Hustler" magazine into a pornography empire, has died at the age of 78. Flynt died of heart failure in Los Angeles, celebrity website TMZ reports. His story inspired the 1996 film "The People vs. Larry Flynt" in which he was portrayed by Woody Harrelson. Larry Flynt has passed away at 78. I got to interview Larry Flynt when I was with the Houston Press.
