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 1970s and 1980s LA porn scene - the non-stop sex, the coke-fueled nights, the seedy characters, 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 and never-before-aired crime-scene footage, with candid testimony from the people who knew him best. Featuring rare interviews with his wives and mistress, adult industry titans Larry Flynt and Ron Jeremy, and filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, Wadd is essential viewing for audiences captivated by the rise and fall of one of porn's most legendary figures. directed by: Cass Paley starring: John C.
