Seka Biography |
||
|
n the late 1970s, Dorothiea adopted the screen name Seka, which means "symbol" in the South African Sesotho language, an appropriate name for an iconic sex symbol. She exploded onto the scene just as porn was making the switch from 35mm film to video, and consequently became a major star at a time of maximum exposure. She received her big break in 1978 (Dracula Sucks, a.k.a. Lust At First Bite as well as Blonde Fire), when she starred opposite John C. Holmes, the collaboration which would propel Seka to fame and go on to form the most well-known couple in porn history.

Trivia and QuotesTrivia In 2002 Seka was the focus of the documentary film Desperately Seeking Seka. The premise finds Swedish filmmakers Christian Hallman and Magnus Paulsson on a quest to find the porn legend and ask for an interview. Since its completion the film has toured the international film festival circuit and is now available on DVD. n 1997, she hosted a radio talk show in Chicago called Let`s Talk About Sex. Seka on her past: "If I changed anything about my past, I wouldn`t be the same person I am today, and I like me today." (CNBC Interview) The character "Amber Waves" played by Julianne Moore in the film Boogie Nights, a fictional girlfriend of the John Holmes character that was a composite of several women in his life, was partly based on Seka, according to the film`s director, Paul Thomas Anderson. Seka trademarked her stage name in April 1985. In the late 1980s, Seka was linked romantically with the comedian Sam Kinison and made an appearance during the opening sketch of an episode of Saturday Night Live that Sam was hosting. She lists Mike Ranger and John C. Holmes as her favorite film partners. Seka is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame, and the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Fame. Seka later reflected, "Why did I stop doing films? I got too old. I love to eat." Seka later admitted that: "The plain fact was that I had reached a plateau that terrifies every woman in the film business, inside or outside porn: I was 40! I have to admit it - I slept a great deal during this period... Can it be any plainer that I had sunk into a funk?" Eighties porn star Ginger Lynn described Seka as "the only woman that I was ever intimidated by." Her films are among the most popular erotica of all time. Jamie Gillis, who performed with Seka in numerous films, believed that she was "a cross between royalty and white trash". A natural brunette of Cherokee Indian and Irish descent, Dorothiea Patton created the mythical platinum blonde persona known as Seka, who, it has been claimed, "was admired by her fans for the authenticity and versatility of her performances". In February 2007, Seka returned to porn, shooting a hardcore scene at the age of 52. It was her first hardcore scene in 15 years and she said she got back into shooting content for her site because of requests by her surfers. Seka appeared in 24 films in 1980 and another 37 films in 1981, the most important and prolific years of her career. They were capped by a messy dissolution of her volatile marriage to Yontz, which brought about her move to Chicago, the city that became her home for nearly twenty-five years. | ||
