BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage Name :  John C. Holmes
Aka        :  John Curtis Holmes, Johnny Wadd, Big Jon Fallus
Born       :  Hollywood, CA

Measurement:  14"

John Holmes started in porn in 1960, when he was studying at UCLA to become
a graduate physical therapist. He did all kinds of jobs (like parking cars
or washing dishes) to get money for college.
One day the girl living next door (who was a hooker) asked him "How would
you like to make a hundred dollars?". When he asked what he had to do se
said "Fuck on film".
He agreed and the action was shot on her bed by a guy with a Super 8mm
camera. Afterwards the guy wrote a check for $100. The check bounced and
after that on always worked for cash, "which is why they call me John
'Cash' Holmes"
In those early days porn was still illegal, and only loops were made.

In 1982 John was found innocent after a sensational drug-related murder
trial in real life.
John was inducted into the XRCO hall of fame in 1985.
John married Misty Dawn, a former porn starlet.
He died March 13, 1988 from AIDS-related causes (which was probably the
result of his drug-habit).

Considering that John Holmes claims to have been in over 2200 shoots (he
knew because he said he "put a peanut into a big jar for every shoot he
went to, and at last count they were 2200"), so it's not likely that this
movie list is anywhere near complete. Then again, most of these shoots will
have been loops (which were maid by the thousands in the 60s and especially
the 70s).
However, I'm sure that there were many more movies especially from the 70s
which are not yet in the list.
