Darras Robert Pyron

Darras Robert Pyron (August 3, 1959 – July 10, 1991), known professionally as Lee Ryder, was an American gay adult film actor and accomplished floral designer. A prominent figure during the "Golden Age" of the gay adult film industry in the early 1980s, he later transitioned into a career in high-end floral artistry, providing arrangements for Hollywood television sets and luxury hotels.

Early life and education Robert Pyron, often called "Bobby" by friends, was born in Willows, California. His debut in All American Boys was followed by his breakout role in Falcon Studios' Huge (1982). Critics often cited his intense, "Joan Crawford-like" eyes as his most striking features.

Floral Design Despite his fame in the adult industry, Pyron's primary professional interest was floral design.

Death and Illness In the late 1980s, Pyron was diagnosed with HIV.
