Wadd: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes

Synopsis

Before Dirk Diggler, there was John C. Holmes, the legendary adult actor who turned “Johnny Wadd” into a franchise and himself into a myth. WADD: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes plunges into the heady 1970's and 1980's LA porn scene, exploring the intersection of sex, celebrity, and crime - the nonstop sex, the coke-fueled nights, and the fatal orbit of club kingpin Eddie Nash that culminated in the Wonderland murders.

Narrated by Mike Sager, whose Rolling Stone investigation inspired the movies BOOGIE NIGHTS and WONDERLAND, the documentary pairs rare film clips, never-before-aired crime-scene footage, with candid testimony from the people who knew him best. Featuring rare interviews with his wives, Sharon Holmes, and porn actress, Misty Dawn, his underage mistress Dawn Schiller, adult industry titans Larry Flynt and Ron Jeremy, and filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, amongst many others, WADD is essential viewing for audiences captivated by rise and fall of one of porn's most legendary figures to this day.
