Lisa de Leeuw (born Lisa Trego on July 3, 1958 in Moline, Illinois, died November 11, 1993) was an American adult film actress.
Lisa de Leeuw started her hardcore career in the late 1970s with a number of Swedish Erotica shorts that thrust her into the porn spotlight. Lisa quickly became a favorite with fans, who appreciated her voluptuous body, wild red hair and, perhaps most of all, her apparently voracious sexual appetites. Besides her red hair, big breasts and freckles, she usually wore a lion-head pendant around her neck in almost all her films and pictorials.
She appeared in almost 200 films and was inducted into both the X-Rated Critics' Organization Hall of Fame and the AVN Hall of Fame.
De Leeuw died from AIDS in 1993. It has been alleged that she possibly had been infected with the disease by porn star John Holmes. However, the last time she had worked with Holmes was in 1981, and it is believed that he did not contract the disease until the mid 1980s.
