SEKA: QUEEN OF PORN

RETRORAW PRESENTS: SEKA THE WOMAN WHO MADE PORNOGRAPHY CREDIBLE

Seka's teenage life

Seka was born and raised in Radford Virginia. She attended high school in Hopewell and as a teenager, she won a number of beauty pageants, including "Miss Hopewell High School" and "Miss Southside Virginia". Seka ran several adult bookstores in the 1970s, until she moved to Las Vegas. While there, she did her first nude layout before eventually returning to Virginia. The layout brought an offer to shoot her first short film of pornography in Baltimore while still a teenager.

A good representation of women

"At the time 8-millimeter films were the big things. I had to splice them together for the peepshow booths that were in the back of the store. Naturally I watched the films and I thought to myself, “These women don't look that good, and they are not a fair representation of women.” I figured I could do better and I did. I tried hard to show how women should be represented in adult films."

A maximum exposure

Her first major hit was "Blonde Fire," made in 1978. She exploded onto the scene just as porn was making the switch to video, and consequently became a major star at a time of maximum exposure. Her films are among the most popular erotica of the 1980s. Seka became so popular that her name was used in many of her movie titles, such as "Cumshots With Seka," "Taste Of Seka", "Seka's Dreams," "My Sister Seka ," "Seka & Desiree's Sex," "The Seka Story," and "Seka Takes Her Man."

Mainstream successes

Her celebrity outside of the porn world (she even made a cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live) established the grounds for later stars like Jenna Jameson who does prime-time guest appearances and has her own action figure.
Seka's last film was "Careful he May be Watching," made in 1986.
