The film Boogie Nights based on Holmes' life. On June 26, 1982, he was found not guilty of the infamous Wonderland gang ("Four on the Floor") murders. Diagnosed with AIDS in 1985. Holmes made about 2000 full-length hardcore features, including a 3-D thriller and a film about his life story - Exhausted: John C. Holmes, the Real Story. Appeared in 2,274 pornographic films, more than anyone else. Since having lost his virginity at age 12 to a 36-year-old friend of his mother he is said to have copulated with more that 14,000 women in his life, both on and off screen. His mother's maiden name was Barton. Nicknamed himself Johnny "Cash" Holmes during the early years of his porn career because he would only take his payments in cash since he was supposedly swindled out of $100 by a bad check for his very first porn loop. Did not tell the porn industry that he was HIV positive and continued to star in films. Even went so far as to go to Europe to make porno movies because they didn't know he was HIV positive. His Los Angeles quadruple-murder trial in 1982, in which he was acquitted, was the first trial in American Jurisprudence where videotape was introduced as evidence. Is portrayed by Val Kilmer in Wonderland
