During the filming of a gay feature film, Holmes inadvertently killed two male performers and was tried for manslaughter. The judge in the case sentenced Holmes to abstain from performing anal sex in any future films, an unproven urban myth.[32]
The history of my surph was thus: I was reading about Paul Thomas Anderson and Thomas Pynchon due to the movie, “Inherent Vice”. PTA had the movie Boogie Nights and it referenced “The Golden Age of Porn”. I clicked on it and a while later was reading about John Holmes. When I read the above mythology, I laughed myself to tears. Elaine asked me if I was OK and everything, code for “what kind of dope are you taking?”. What else does a Sunday need?

After a bit my own research I see that along with Boogie Nights, Holmes was also the inspiration for Wonderland.

I also learned that he “was raised by a religious fanatic mother named Mary and an abusive alcoholic stepfather named Harold Bowman.”
Bibles and booze are the best ingredients for family life.
