Lisa De Leeuw (born July 3, 1958) is the stage name (pronounced LEE-sah dih LAY-oh) of an American former pornographic actress, of the so-called Golden Age of Porn.
Career
She appeared in over 200 films and was inducted into both the X-Rated Critics' Organization Hall of Fame and the AVN Hall of Fame.[1][2]
Alleged death
She has been widely reported to be dead, but due to the underground nature of the adult industry in the era in which she was active, her true identity and current status are not verifiable. In the 2000 book Skinflicks: The Inside Story of the X-Rated Video Industry, writer and porn producer David Jennings describes the stigma and rumors surrounding AIDS in the porn community in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He wrote: "Reputed to be dead of AIDS, Lisa DeLeeuw and Brandy Alexandre, now out of the industry, proclaimed themselves alive and healthy."[3] However, in 2003, another publication,Headpress 25, claimed that De Leeuw died of complications from AIDS on November 11, 1993.[4]
