"The tree of life represents the roots of man. The branches are the
different directions a man can take, live or exist. When you're
dead, those that you leave behind will put you in a part of that
tree. It represents what was, what is and what will be. It's
eternal." -- John Holmes Most people might, understandably, predict
that the world s first porn star was a woman, but they would be
wrong. John Curtis Holmes was just a simple country boy from Ohio
when he moved to California in 1964. It was the infancy of
hardcore, so in Holmes' wildest dreams, he could not have predicted
the turbulent ride on which he had embarked by publicizing his
private parts. With the fame he achieved by playing his most famous
character - a gun toting detective named Johnny Wadd - came money.
Holmes was pleased to spend it on his wife and mistresses, but soon
was in over his head after he became addicted to cocaine.
Unfortunately for Holmes, in the years that followed, his addiction
led him into several desperate choices - including setting up a
robbery at the home of Ed Nash, a powerful L.A. nightclub owner.
The robbery resulted in one of the most gruesome, unsolved,
multiple-murders in Hollywood history. Amazingly, before his
untimely death in 1988, Holmes regained his momentum, remarried and
rebuilt his life and career. However, the grave consequences of his
addiction, his association with the Wonderland murders, and his
AIDS-related death made him an infamous figure in pop culture.
Digging past the stigmas, John Holmes: A Life Measured in Inches -
the first biography about John C. Holmes - unearths the human being
behind the penis and proves that there was more to him than could
be measured in inches. This biography includes material from the
authors' new interviews with: Laurie Holmes, Bill Amerson, Bob
Chinn, Julia St. Vincent, Detective Tom Lange, Detective Frank
Tomlinson, Paul Thomas, Ron Jeremy, Seka, Marilyn Chambers, Candida
Royalle, Rhonda Jo Petty, Dr. Sharon Mitchell, Bill Margold, and
many others John Holmes: A Life Measured in Inches also includes
114 reviews of John's most notable feature films, 86 loops
synopses, 3 photos sections with rare nudes, and a 21 page
comprehensive filmography.
