Mini-Bio
Rhonda Jo Petty’s career in adult films spanned three decades. When she started out in the early 1970s producers of her films capitalized on her striking resemblance to Farrah Fawcett, even going so far at one point as to rename her “Farrah Fawcett Minor” (until Fawcett’s lawyers threatened legal action). She was one of the earliest examples of the “California Golden Girl”, with her wild, luxurious mane of blonde hair and spectacular body. One of her best-known roles was in Little Orphan Dusty (1978) with porn legend John Holmes. In later years she became somewhat of a cult figure with biker crowds.
