Misty Dawn is the pseudonym of former adult film actress Laurie Rose (born in 1963 in Albuquerque, New Mexico). 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.
