Connection
John C. Holmes is a Actor American born on 8 august 1944 at Ashville (USA)
John Curtis Holmes (born John Curtis Estes; August 8, 1944 – March 13, 1988), better known as John C. Holmes or Johnny Wadd (after the lead character he portrayed in a series of related films), was one of the most prolific male pornographic film actors of all time; he appeared in about 2,500 adult loops and pornographic feature movies in the 1970s and 1980s. Holmes was best known for his exceptionally large penis, which was heavily promoted as the longest, thickest, and hardest in the porn industry, although no documented measurement of Holmes' actual penis length, girth, or tumescence has ever been confirmed.
Near the end of his life, Holmes attained notoriety for his involvement in the Wonderland murders of July 1981 and eventually for his death from complications caused by AIDS in March 1988.
Holmes was the subject of several books, a lengthy essay in Rolling Stone, and two feature-length documentaries, and was the inspiration for two Hollywood movies (Boogie Nights and Wonderland).
In August 1965, Holmes married a young nurse named Sharon Ann Gebenini at Ford Ord, California. Their divorce was finalized on January 17, 1983.
In 1975, he met Julia St. Vincent on the set of his film, Liquid Lips, which was being produced by her uncle, Armand Atamian. Holmes and St. Vincent remained close until 1981 and the Wonderland murders. St. Vincent produced the ersatz biographical film of Holmes' life, Exhausted (1981).
In 1976, Holmes (then 32 years old) met, courted, and ultimately began a sexual relationship with 15-year-old Dawn Schiller. After descending into severe drug abuse, he beat and prostituted the teen, who in December 1981, while they were in Florida fleeing law enforcement following the Wonderland murders, broke free and was persuaded by her brother Wayne to turn John in to the authorities. In her memoir, The Road Through Wonderland: Surviving John Holmes (2009), Schiller also describes her and her sister Terry's observations that John was a peeping Tom, who looked through their bungalow windows in Glendale, California, as well as strangers' hotel room windows at the Biltmore, Palm Springs.
In 1982, Holmes met his second wife, Laurie Rose; they married in January 1987. Holmes was stepfather to Rose's young son.
Charitable work
Despite the notoriety and infamy associated with Holmes, he also devoted much time to charities involving the environment. He was involved with Greenpeace and known to campaign and collect door-to-door for charities such as Save The Whales and Save the Seals.
Hobbies
Holmes enjoyed clay sculpting, woodworking, and outdoor activities such as visiting beaches, camping, fishing, and hiking.
