Seka was born Dorothiea Hundley Patton on Thursday, April 15, 1954. She is a legendary
U.S. porn movie actress, or "sex performer", as she prefers, who, between 1974
and 1993, appeared in more than 100 porn movies.
Born in Radford, Virginia, Seka attended high school in Hopewell, where she subsequently won several beauty pageants, including "Miss Hopewell High School" and "Miss Southside Virginia". Under the influence of her "controlling" and "obsessive" husband, Ken Yontz, young Seka ran several adult bookstores in the 1970s, until the "heat" forced her to flee to Las Vegas. While there she did her first nude layout before eventually returning to Virginia. The layout brought Seka immediate attention along with an offer to shoot her first short porn movie in Baltimore while still a teenager. With these early escapades, Seka and Ken moved to Los Angeles, where she devoted herself to the pursuit of her career, initially using the name Sweet Alice. Shortly after receiving her big break in 1978, a role starring opposite the infamous John Holmes, the collaboration which would propel Seka to fame while forming the most well known couple in porn history, the notorious lifestyle of her industry began to take its toll, with a year long stint at an unknown detox facility (1978). A true believer in what she did, she also spent time in prison in San Diego for "lewd conduct and obscene behavior". Back on her feet, Seka appeared in 24 movies in 1980 and another 37 movies in 1981, the most important and prolific years of her career, which were capped by another struggle with drug addiction and the messy dissolution of her volatile relationship with Yontz, which brought about her move to Chicago, the city that became her home for nearly twenty-five years. With her southern drawl, perfect figure, and gracious down-to-earth personality, Seka arguably became by the early eighties the number one porn star of all time, despite having been taken advantage of not just by Yontz, but by her Chicago manager, who she now calls "Dead Fred". After 1982, at the height of her fame, she mysteriously took a step back from her movie career, claiming "they wouldn't pay her what she wanted", and turned to stripping and nude modeling while running her own lucrative fan club, with only scant movie performances until her last film in 1993 at age 39. "Why did I stop doing porn movies? I got too old. I love to eat." A platinum blonde of Cherokee Indian and Irish descent, she was admired by her fans for the enormous versatility of her perfomances, and is regarded by many as the most beautiful porn actress ever. In April of 2005 Seka moved to her home near Kansas City, Mo. She operates her fan club through her own web site. Movies Find a Sex Partner (adultfriendfinder.com) Sources: Hustler.com, Wikipedia |
