Who Is Seka?

Seka was born in Radford, Virginia in 1954. She posed for her first nude photo layout in 1977 and appeared in her first hardcore loop in 1978. Between 1978-1981 she starred in over 70 loops for labels such as Swedish Erotica, Diamond Collection, Pretty Girl and Diverse. 

Her first feature film was Blonde Fire in 1978. Over the next three years she appeared in a further 20 movies, before eventually retiring in 1981. She made a comeback in 1985 and again in 1993.

During her prime, Seka stood at 5'11" (1.78m) with a perfect 34D-24-34 hourglass figure. 

Bill Margold once said: "Seka was born hot. There have only been a few who have that ingredient of being born hot."

Jamie Gillis, who performed with Seka in numerous films, believed that she was "a cross between royalty and white trash. Like with Marilyn Chambers, who went from Ivory Soap box girl to porno. There was something especially naughty about it because she was such a good girl doing bad things."

If Marilyn Chambers and Annette Haven were the superstars of porn during the early to late 1970s, then Seka was the name that brought in the 1980s. She became one of the most recognisable and well-known porn stars ever to pass through the industry. Even though she hasn't made a new movie in 30 years, compilations of her loops are still being released while her old films are regularly re-issued. 

In contrast to women such as Traci Lords, Linda Lovelace or Stacey Donovan, Seka never turned against the adult industry or denied her past. When asked if she had any regrets about being a porn star she replied: "Absolutely not. None. Regrets mean you would do things differently with your life. And if you do things differently, you wouldn’t be the same person who you are today. And I happen to like who I am."

She also has little time for anti-porn feminists that accuse her of being brainwashed by the patriarchy, dismissively claiming: "What do you expect from people like that? Most of them don't even know what an orgasm is!"

"Pornography is maliciously taking advantage of someone who is in a very vulnerable position mentally or physically or financially. To me, that’s pornographic, not two consenting adults experiencing the sexual avenue of their own choice."

Later porn stars that followed her in the 1980s would often use her as a role model. Amber Lynn once said: "My all time idol, from way back, is Seka. She is the most amazing looking, beautiful, classy woman that I personally have met in the industry."

Danielle claimed: "Seka was one of the first pretty blonde girls willing to fuck in front of the whole wide world… I only had the singular name ‘Danielle’ because Bobby Hollander wanted to fashion me after Seka."

According to Bill Margold who first enrered porn in 1972: "The three most important women in this industry are Marilyn Chambers, Seka, and Ginger Lynn. They're the most famous landmark women. They came along at exactly the right time. Chambers kicked it open with  Behind the Green Door (1972), and then Seka transformed film into first-grade video – she was really the performer who carried the seventies into the eighties."
