Seka (actress)

Dorothiea Ivonniea Hundley (born 1954), known professionally as Seka, is an American pornographic actress who was known in the 1980s as the "Platinum Princess of Porn". In 2013, she released an autobiography about her life and career titled Inside Seka.

Seka was born in 1954 in Radford, Virginia. She recalled having "a plain, normal childhood" with two siblings, a brother and sister. Her family later moved to Hopewell, Virginia, where, nicknamed "Dottie", she won a beauty pageant at Hopewell High School. She was later crowned Miss Southside Virginia.

She married Francis "Frank" Patton on April 21, 1972, a week after her 18th birthday. She worked for Reynolds Metals Company, maker of Reynolds Wrap household aluminum. She later became a clerk at an adult bookstore, where she began dating the owner.

After briefly operating a chain of seven adult bookstores in Virginia, Seka sold her interest in the business and moved to Las Vegas, where she did her first erotic modeling for a magazine. She later moved to Los Angeles, where she appeared in her first pornographic film. She told an interviewer in 2006:

I liked porn, but I didn’t like how women were treated. Women had no makeup and their feet were dirty and they had pimples on their butt and their hair was nasty and the producers didn’t care what the women looked like as long as there was a cum shot.

Seka used the stage name "Linda Grasser" early in her career. She eventually adopted the name "Seka" after a female blackjack dealer she knew in Las Vegas. By the mid-1980s, she was writing and directing adult films, as well as starring in them.

She stopped performing in pornography in 1992 because of what she saw as the adult film industry's poor response to the AIDS epidemic, including an unwillingness to require condom use or routine HIV screening. She would go on to model for Club magazine and release videos through the website AEBN, as well as performing striptease on tour.

For several years beginning in 1994, Seka hosted a talk show called Let's Talk About Sex on Chicago FM radio station WLUP.^{[self-published source?]}
