Only passingly familiar with his work, I found myself for some reason (Zach Galifinakis -> Fiona Apple -> P.T. Anderson -> Boogie Nights) reading the Wikipedia page for John Holmes. It's an interesting story (obviously, since Boogie Nights was loosely based on him), but I only want to highlight one sentence:

Using his status as an informer [for the LAPD], Holmes systematically had his competition in the porn industry arrested, leaving him as one of the few free porn stars in Los Angeles.

I love it. What a brilliant business strategy!

Also, can anyone verify whether this aspect of his life was in Boogie Nights, and I've just forgotten it?)

Anyway, here's to you, John, not necessarily for your porno work, but for this amazing business strategy!
