Rhonda Jo Petty is an American pornographic actress. She is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame and the XRCO Hall of Fame. Petty was raised in Chatsworth, California. Her first lead role was in Disco Lady, due to her physical resemblance to the at-the-time popular mainstream actress Farrah Fawcett. Suitably, the stage name "Sarah Dawcett" traded off on that resemblance. Petty was popular because she was unique in the industry for her time during the 1970s; she shaved her private parts and she often took part in then unconventional fisting scenes. She performed in numerous films with early porn icon John Holmes in addition to performing often in lesbian scenes. Her career was at its height in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980's. Ironically, Petty starred in the film which debuted Holmes's future wife, Laurie Rose under the stage name Misty Dawn, i.e., The Greatest Little Cathouse in Las Vegas. Petty "became one of [Laurie's] favorite actresses for the longest time."
