- Birth nameJames Marvin Souter
- Born in conservative Dallas, Texas in the 1930s, James Marvin Souter grew up to become a prominent figure in America's adult entertainment industry. He originally started selling insurance before moving to Los Angeles in 1968. For a few years, South operated a fashion school and agency named Fashion Models. The agency was sold and the new owners adopted nude modeling as part of the company's new portfolio. South finally accepted an offer to continue managing, as the agency place ads for nude female models. He decided to operate his own company, opening the World Talent Modeling Agency in 1976.- IMDb Mini Biography By: delphiaa
- While his agency mostly represents female talent, World Modeling has represented male performers. Marc Wallice was a client.
- Owner of World Modeling, an agency that has long supplied actresses to the adult-film industry.
- Father of Jim South Jr.
- Uncle of Aspen Stevens.
- Traci Lords named him "Tim North" in her autobiography.
- World Modeling helped start the testing through AIM and Sharon Mitchell that tests for the entire industry about 15 years ago, give or take. In fact, I set her up in the building that I'm in because there are a lot of directors and stuff in this building. And then finally, she expanded and moved. But, everybody has to get a PCRDNA AIDS test every 30 days and have it with them at all times. They must show the director and/or the photographer the original test, not a copy. They also have to be tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea. And they have to do that every 30 days and have proof of it or they don't work.
- Anybody can say or have the opinion they want to have, just like I believe if a girl is of age and she's not drugged or coerced, she has the right to be in a movie, she has the right to rent, buy or view a movie. And if she's against it, she has a right not to be anywhere around it, not to see it in papers or on newsstands or in boxes; that's her right. I think there will always be people who think any of this is degrading for women.
