- This article is about a porn star
Misty Dawn (born May 15, 1963 in Henderson, Nevada) is the pseudonym of former Pornographic film actress Laurie Rose.
She was married to the late Pornographic film actor John Holmes from 1987 until his death from complications from AIDS (undoubtedly exacerbated by drug and alcohol abuse) on March 13 1988. In addition to Misty Dawn, she also used the name Laurie Diamond. According to those who worked with her, the 5'2", 100-pound Laurie Rose looked far younger and would often dress to accentuate her youthful appearance in many of her numerous "loops" and 61 credited feature films.
Laurie Rose was one of the industry's most notorious anal sex queens, and by all accounts she excelled in her field. According to Pornographic film actor-turned anti-porn moral crusader Luke Ford, the first time she met Holmes was in December, 1982 on the film set for the porn feature film Marathon in San Francisco soon after he was released from jail in connection to the Wonderland Murders. They supposedly had sex soon before they even filmed a scene.
For a brief time in the mid-1980's, she and her husband John Holmes were in business with Bill Amerson in an Pornographic film company known as Penquin Productions. The Holmeses also lived at Amerson's mansion in the LA suburbs.
In 1998, Laurie Rose-Holmes released John Holmes autobiography called Porn King. The book has had some great reviews and is currently out of print.
Laurie is currently married to former Pornographic film actor Tony Montana, who has been diagnosed as being HIV positive. Laurie still remains negative.
In 1999, Laurie Rose-Holmes sued John Holmes' former manager Bill Amerson and the Pornographic film company VCA Pictures for defamation of character, alleging that they stated that she was engaged in prostitution. She later dropped the lawsuit. Also in 1999, Rose made a return to Pornographic films after a 15-year retirement with the lesbian flick "75 Orgies". Bill Amerson is currently a drug counselor.
