Sunset Thomas (born Diane Fowler on February 19, 1972) is the stage name of an artist and former American pornographic actress. Her given name is Diane Thomas. She was runner-up for Penthouse Pet of the Year in 1998 and is a member of the Adult Video News Hall of Fame. Guardian writer Andrew Anthony described her as "a pencil-thin woman with heavily enlarged breasts".
Thomas was born in Sikeston, Missouri as one of 11 siblings. She moved around often in her youth with her family, living in various states including Virginia, Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee. She spent her teenage years in Daytona Beach, Florida. In Florida she became something of a wild child, sacrificing school and books for sunning and bikinis on the Florida beaches. She lost her virginity at age 15 when she was raped and had her first sexual encounter with a girl (who was her roommate) at age 17.
After high school, she moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where she performed a variety of jobs, among them, modeling aside the championship trophy after the annual NASCAR race held there was over. She worked as a prostitute at the Moonlite BunnyRanch, and according to Dennis Hof made $2000 a night. 2002 saw Thomas speaking publicly about her life at the BunnyRanch in the HBO documentary series entitled Cathouse, and in 2003, she appeared in its sequel. She later told interviewer Andrew Anthony that there is no real difference between pornography and prostitution.
