About	LOS ANGELES — Bruce Mendleson, the beloved adult industry executive who co-founded Legend Video, passed away on Sept. 9 from cancer, his longtime business partner Jack Richman confirmed Monday. He was 75. Mendleson, who was born and raised in Buffalo, N.Y., was directing sales at Western Visuals in 1986 when he met Richman, who was working there in operations. About three years later, in September 1989, Bruce and Jack partnered to launch Legend Video, which started out as a wholesaler and went on to produce and distribute about 1,500 adult titles until they sold the company to Caballero Pictures in 2013. Mendleson, who attended college at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, is survived by his wife of more than 35 years, Stacy, their two children—Marissa and Drew—and a new grandson.
