	Actors - Misty Dawn

Misty Dawn is the pseudonym of former adult film actress Laurie Rose (born in 1963 outside Las Vegas, Nevada). She was married to the late adult 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 Rose looked far younger and would often dress to accentuate her youthful appearance in many of her numerous "loops" and 61 credited films. Some allege that she also "turned tricks" on sets. Laurie Rose was also one of the industry's most notorious anal sex queens. According to adult film actor-turned anti-porn moral crusader Luke Ford, the first time she met Holmes in December, 1982, she said she couldn't wait to have Holmes up her ass. She soon did before they even filmed a scene.

Mark Wahlberg's character Dirk Diggler in the 1997 pseudo-biopic Boogie Nights
was more than loosely based on John Holmes' life. In 1998, Laurie Rose-Holmes released a supposed Holmes autobiography called Porn King. Sales were extremely mediocre.

In her post-Holmes life, Laurie Rose-Holmes battled drug addiction and is currently married to former adult film actor Tony Montana, who has been diagnosed as being HIV positive.

In 1999, Laurie Rose-Holmes sued John Holmes' former manager Bill Amerson and adult 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 adult films after a 15-year retirement with the lesbian flick 75 Orgies.
