I was born on the 15th of April 1954 in Radford, Virginia. I grew up in the town and attended
high-school at the nearby town of Hopewell. My birth name is Dorothiea Hundley and it is with
this name I went on to win many beauty pageants as a teenager. I had the nickname "Dottie"
and it is with this that married and divorced when I was young. I ran an adult bookstore and,
after complaining to her suppliers that I was more attractive than the models that were
featured in the material I was selling to customers, I moved from that area of Virginia to
Las Vegas in the 1970's. While there I did a nude layout for a magazine which brought me
major attention along with my first offer of shooting a movie while I was still in her my
early 20's. It was soon after this that I moved to Los Angeles with the person I had been
living with for a few years so that I could work full time on furthering my career in the
nude modeling industry, under the stage name "SEKA".
I chose this due to it being a reference to a kind girl ("little sweetheart" or "little
darling") in Serbo-Croatian (although the name also means 'symbol' in the Sesotho language of
South Africa). My transgression into pornography came at a time (1978, when I was in my 20's)
when the entire industry was changing from 35mm film to video and due to this added exposure
I became one of the most popular stars of the time, performing early in my career in films
with the late John Holmes (I said in interviews since that Holmes had the biggest penis I
have ever seen). This explosion in publicity led to some what of wild lifestyle .This
lifestyle continued for a couple of years. Then I became more responsible and focused on my
career in adult movies and my life in general.
Career
Seka is credited with performing in just under 180 adult videos (178) and directing just 2,
although she claims that only 50 of these are original appearances with the rest being
recycled by distributors (this claim is most likely to be true due to the trend of the time,
which continues to this very day, of reusing previously shot material for new videos to save
money). The material in her films throughout her career vary tremendously, ranging from anal
sex and gangbangs to double penetration (DP) and lesbian shoots. She was also a pioneer in
the trend of shaven pubic hair, which is a common trait of today's movies, but was extremely
rare at the time.
She appeared frequently in the
Swedish Erotica series (distributed by Caballero)
ranging from volume 11 all the way up to volume 48. Other series she has appeared in numerous
times include
Blue Vanities (sporadically from volume 3 to volume 85) and
Erotica
Collection. Seka has directed
Careful He May be Watching, released in 1987 and
distributed by Caballero which she has stated has won numerous awards, she also has directed
Inside Seka, released in 1980 and distributed by Video-X-pix. Both films are still in
production and available to purchase online. In the same year
Inside Seka was
released, she appeared in 24 films and 37 the year after, these two were to be her most
active of her career. They were capped with the collapse of her second marriage to the
controlling Ken Yontz and another struggle with addictions this culminated in the 1987
release
Careful He May be Watching being the last film in the decade for the 'Platinum
Princess'.
Due to her problems, in 1982 she stepped away from her career and stated that she wasn't paid
well enough to appear, in this gap she resorted to stripping and nude modeling. In this time
she also worked on growing her fan club (which turned out to be extremely lucrative). Her
last appearance in a porn film was in 1993 in the film
American Garter (distributed by
VCA) in which she was visibly over her usual weight and suffering from sun damage and with
liver spots on her hands, this appearance provoked questions about her condition from many of
her fans and may have contributed to her not making any further appearances.
Websites
She created her own website,
OfficialSeka.com (also accessible via the domain name
Seka.com), in late 2003 after establishing herself as a very successful businesswoman
earlier in her career. The site contains her diary, a calendar containing all of the public
events she will be attending in the future, many of her movies from throughout her career,
used clothing (including thongs, stockings and pantyhose) worn by Seka herself available for
sale along with signed photos and a section containing Seka's 'friends', which is a variety
of material featuring other pornstars and amateur girls. Although, despite her huge
popularity and growing fan base, it is rare to see a Seka video online due to the problems
with licensing of the videos as many of the original distributors have now gone out of
business and are unavailable for discussions, one of the few other sites that features her
content is
Porn Star Classics as well as the
Pornstar Legends website which is
operated by the New Sensations production company.
Desperately Seeking Seka
In 2002, two Swedish filmmakers (Christian Hallman and Magnus Paulsson) created a documentary
in which they set out to find Seka and request an interview from her while also profiling her
past in the porn industry. Seka herself has praised the film and has even mentioned that she
plans to create her own autobiographical documentary sometime in the future. The documentary
made its way around global film festivals, notably being banned in Singapore due to its
content and it was released on DVD on the 13th of April 2004. The original DVD runs at 53
minutes long with over 3 hours of extras, however there is a more recent unrated edition which
clocks in at 83 minutes long and contains more explicit scenes. Both are available to buy via
the film's official website,
DesperatelySeekingSeka.com.
