Bonnie Holiday

September 24, 1952 — San Diego, California, USA

Bonnie Holiday was a former American pornographic actress who worked during the 1970s and early 1980s. Holiday worked as a stripper and started out making loops. She then graduated to feature films with Alex de Renzy's Lady Freaks (1973), which also featured Annette Haven, whom she introduced to the porn industry and took as a lover. Holiday and Haven allegedly lived in a ménage à trois with Holiday's husband. Jealousy over Haven's relationship with her husband reportedly broke up their friendship. Haven would become a superstar of the Golden Age of Porn while Holiday's career never really took off. Holiday was featured in the 1970 adult film documentary A History of the Blue Movie, which showed clips of stag films dating from 1915 to 1970. One of her best-known performances can be found in the XRCO Hall of Fame 1977 film Desires Within Young Girls. She retired from adult films around 1980.
