Alleged death

[edit]

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 de Leeuw 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] It has been confirmed by many fans that Lisa is alive and well. The rumors of her passing have long been debunked.
