Joey Stefano (January 1, 1968 - November 26, 1994) was an American pornographic actor (porn star) who appeared in gay adult films. He was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His real name was Nicholas Anthony Iacona, Jr.
Nick Iacona, who was HIV-positive through most (if not all) of his film career, grew up in suburban Philadelphia (Chester, Pennsylvania). His father died when he was 15. After several years of prostitution and drug use in New York City, Iacona moved to Los Angeles and enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom in adult films.
Iacona died of an overdose of cocaine, morphine, heroin and ketamine at age 26.
He was the subject of the 1996 biography Wonder Bread and Ecstasy by Charles Isherwood.
