John Curtis Holmes ( né 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 an American pornographic film actor. He ranks among the most prolific adult film performers, with documented credits for at least 573 films. [2]
Holmes was best known for his exceptionally large penis , which was heavily promoted for its length and thickness. However no documented measurement of Holmes' actual penis length, girth, tumescence , sexual stamina, or ejaculate volume has ever been confirmed. [3]
Near the end of his life, Holmes attained notoriety for his reputed involvement in the Wonderland murders of July 1981 and eventually for his death from complications caused by AIDS in March 1988. He 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 ).
John Holmes was born John Curtis Estes on August 8, 1944, in the small rural town of Ashville , Ohio , about 11 miles (18 km) south of Columbus . He was the youngest of four children born to 26-year-old Mary June (née Barton) Holmes, but the name of his father, railroad worker Carl Estes, was left blank on his birth certificate. Mary had married Edgar Harvey Holmes, who was the father of her three older children – Dale, Edward and Anne. She and Edgar were married and divorced three times, as is documented by wedding certificates dated April 13, 1936, August 13, 1945, and September 12, 1947. [4] At the time of their first marriage in 1936, Edgar was 35 years old and divorced, while Mary was 17. [5] After divorcing for the third and final time, Edgar and Mary each married one more time. [6]
Mary changed John's surname from Estes to Holmes when he was a child. In 1986, when Holmes applied for a passport for the first time prior to a trip to Italy, his mother reportedly provided him with the handwritten copy of his original birth certificate, which led Holmes to learn that his biological father was Carl Estes.
Holmes' mother was said to be a devout Southern Baptist and with her children regularly attended church in Millport, Ohio . By contrast, his stepfather Edgar was an alcoholic who would come home inebriated, stumble about the house and even vomit on the children. As a child, Holmes enjoyed a reprieve from his turbulent home life when he visited his maternal grandparents, John W. and Bessie ( née Gillenwater) Barton. [5] Mary divorced Edgar when Holmes was a toddler and moved with her children to Columbus, where they lived in a low-income housing project with a friend of Mary's and her own two children. The two women worked as clerks and waitresses in order to support their children.
When Holmes was aged 7, his mother married Harold Bowman on December 31, 1951. Shortly afterward, Holmes and his family moved to the small town of Pataskala, Ohio , about seventeen miles east of Columbus. Holmes recalled that Bowman was a good father until his younger half-brother David was born, at which point Bowman reportedly lost interest in his stepchildren and began neglecting them. [7] [3]
Holmes left home at age 15 and enlisted in the United States Army , with his mother's written permission. He spent most of the three years of his military service in West Germany in the Signal Corps . [3] Upon his honorable discharge in 1963, Holmes moved to Los Angeles , California , where he worked in a variety of jobs, including selling goods door-to-door and tending the vats at a Coffee Nips factory. During his stint as an ambulance driver, Holmes met a nurse named Sharon Gebenini in December 1964. They married on August 21, 1965, in Fort Ord, California , [8] after Holmes turned 21. [9]
In April 1965, Holmes found work as a forklift driver at a meatpacking warehouse in nearby Cudahy . However, repeated exposure to the freezing air in the large walk-in freezer after being outside inhaling the desert-hot air caused him severe health problems, leading to a pneumothorax of his right lung on three occasions during the two years he worked there. [9] Sharon also had health problems, as during the first seventeen months of her marriage to Holmes, she miscarried three separate times. [10]
John Holmes was to the adult film industry what Elvis Presley was to rock 'n' roll . He simply was The King.
Holmes began his career in the late 1960s while he was unemployed and recovering from his collapsed lung. He frequented a men's card playing club in Gardena where on one evening, he allegedly met a photographer while standing next to him at a men's room urinal who gave Holmes his business card, telling him that he could find work in the underground adult film business. From 1969, Holmes did nude modeling for underground adult magazines as well as an occasional 'loop' or 'stag film'
In 1971, Holmes' career began to take off with an adult film series built around a private investigator named Johnny Wadd, written and directed by Bob Chinn . The success of the film Johnny Wadd created an immediate demand for follow-ups, so Chinn followed up the same year with Flesh of the Lotus. Most of the subsequent Johnny Wadd films were written and directed by Chinn and produced by the Los Angeles-based company Freeway Films.
With the success of Deep Throat (1972), Behind the Green Door (1972) and The Devil in Miss Jones (1973), porn became chic even though its legality was still hotly contested. Holmes was arrested during this time for pimping and pandering , but he avoided prison time by reputedly becoming an informant for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). [11] Holmes' "handler" during his time as an informant was LAPD vice detective Thomas Blake. Of his involvement with Holmes, Blake said, "It was a pleasure working for him." [12]
By the late 1970s, Holmes was reputed to be earning as much as $3,000 per day as a porn performer. [7] [11] Around this time, his consumption of cocaine and freebasing were becoming an increasingly serious problem. Professionally, it affected his ability to maintain an erection , as is apparent from his flaccid performance in Insatiable (1980). To support himself and his drug habit, Holmes ventured into crime, selling drugs for gangs, prostituting himself to both men and women, as well as committing credit card fraud and various acts of petty theft . In 1976, Holmes met 15-year-old Dawn Schiller, whom he groomed and abused. After he became desperate for money, Holmes forced Schiller into prostitution and often beat her, which he did at least once in public. [13] [14] [15]
In the 1981 biographical feature documentary Exhausted: John C. Holmes, The Real Story , from director and Holmes confidante Julia St. Vincent, Holmes claimed during an interview segment that he had had intercourse with over 14,000 women. [11] The number had in fact been invented by Holmes on the spur of the moment to help salvage his waning image. [7] The true number of women (and men) with whom Holmes had sex during his career would never be known. After his death, his ex-wife Sharon claimed to have come across a footlocker , plated in 24k gold leaf , which contained photographic references to Holmes' "private work" and which she burned. [16] Holmes' performances included at least one homosexual feature film, The Private Pleasures of John C. Holmes which was filmed in 1983, [17] and a handful of loops which contained anal sex with men.
In late 1980, a mutual friend introduced Holmes to Chris Coxx, who owned the Odyssey nightclub. In turn, Coxx introduced Holmes to Eddie Nash , a drug dealer who owned several nightclubs, including the Starwood in West Hollywood . [18] At the same time, Holmes was closely associated with the Wonderland Gang , a group of heroin -addicted cocaine dealers, so called for the rowhouse located on Wonderland Avenue in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles, out of which they operated. Holmes frequently sold drugs for the gang. Gang members included Ronnie Lee Launius , David Clay Lind , Joy Gold Miller, Billy DeVerell, and their wheel-man, Tracy McCourt .
After using more than his share of the Wonderland Gang's drugs, [19] Holmes found himself falling out of their favor. In June 1981, Holmes told Launius and Lind about a large stash of drugs, money and jewelry Nash had in his house. Holmes helped to set up a home invasion and armed robbery committed on the morning of June 29, 1981. Although Holmes was not present during the robbery, Nash apparently suspected he had a part in it. After forcing Holmes to confess to his participation and threatening his life and those of his family, Nash dispatched enforcers , accompanied by Holmes, to exact revenge against the Wonderland Gang.
In the early hours of July 1, 1981, four of the gang's members were found murdered and a fifth severely beaten in their rowhouse. Holmes was allegedly present during the murders and left a left palm print (not "bloody" as Los Angeles media outlets covering the story erroneously reported) over one victim's headboard , but it is unclear whether he participated in the killings. Holmes was questioned but was released due to lack of evidence; he refused to cooperate with the investigation. After spending nearly five months on the run with Schiller, Holmes was arrested in Florida on December 4, 1981, by former LAPD homicide detectives Frank Tomlinson and Tom Lange (who later gained fame for his involvement in the O. J. Simpson murder case ). Holmes was extradited to Los Angeles, and in March 1982 was charged with personally committing all four murders. After a three-week trial, Holmes was acquitted of all charges except committing contempt of court on June 26, 1982. [20] The murder trial was a landmark in the history of American trial procedure, as it was the first in which videotape was introduced as evidence. [21]
After his release from Los Angeles County Jail for contempt of court in November 1982, Holmes quickly resumed his film career with a new generation of porn stars. His drug addiction continued off-and-on, and although work was still plentiful, it was no longer as lucrative as it had been with the advent of cheaply made videotapes that saturated the porn market. Most of the adult films and videos he made during the 1980s were little more than cameo appearances .
In February 1986, five or six months after testing negative, Holmes was diagnosed as HIV -positive. According to his second wife Laurie Holmes , he claimed that he never used hypodermic needles and that he was deathly afraid of them . Gebenini and friend/former colleague Bill Amerson separately confirmed later that Holmes could not have contracted HIV from intravenous drug use because he never used needles. [7]
During the summer of 1986, Holmes was offered a lucrative deal from Paradise Visuals, which was unaware he was HIV-positive, to travel to Italy to film what were to be his last two pornographic films. Holmes' penultimate film was The Rise of the Roman Empress (originally released in Italy as Carne bollente ) for director Riccardo Schicchi . The film starred Holmes, the later Italian Parliament member Ilona "Cicciolina" Staller , Tracey Adams , Christoph Clark , and Amber Lynn . [29] His final film was The Devil In Mr. Holmes , starring Adams, Lynn, Karin Schubert , and Marina Hedman . [30] These last films created a furor when it was revealed later that Holmes had consciously chose
