Interview With Seka

When you think about it, adult stars come a dime a dozen. There is an endless sea of women who drift in and out of the adult business never to be heard from again. Most of them come along to make a quick buck, not giving much thought into what they are doing. They disappear just as quickly as they came never to be heard from again.

There are a few who come along who turn the entire industry on it’s head. Women who become superstars and achieve a level of fame not often achieved by a porn star. What makes these women different from the average run-of-the-mill starlet? What is it that they have that the others do not?

Women who reach the upper echelon of porn greatness all have a few things in common with one another. First and foremost, they are beautiful creatures, with an appeal that sets them apart from the rest of the crowd. There is just something about them, that you just cannot put your finger on, that adds to their attractiveness. They also have to have a little luck, and come into the business at the right time and place. But most of all they are all enthusiastic about what they do. They are painfully aware of their sexual power, and use it to light-up the screen with powerful performances, and instantly capture the desire of multitudes of men.

You can literally count the number of women who reach the very top of the porn business on your fingers. You have your Annettes, your Gingers, your Jennas and then you have Seka. One of a kind, Seka was one of the first superstars of adult cinema. Like a blond sex bomb she burst upon the scene and was an instant star. She passionately performed for several years and enjoyed a longevity that few women in the adult entertainment industry achieve.

I recently contacted her, and she agreed to be interviewed. I was completely surprised how easy she was to contact and how willing she was to participate. She is a very gracious and down-to-earth person and it has been an absolute honor to interview her.

Where were you born?

Seka: Radford Virginia

Where did you grow up?

Seka: Virginia

What was your family life like, your parents, siblings, how would you describe your family?

Seka: 1 brother 1 sister, both older; I’m the baby. Pretty normal I guess. Parents divorced when I was young. I am still close with nearly everyone in my family.

What was your earliest sexual experience? At what age did you lose your virginity?

Seka: April 22,1972, the day after I got married the first time.

I read that you were a beauty queen in high school and during your early adult life. What are some of the pageants you won?

Seka: Miss Hopewell High School and Miss South-side Virginia.

What other jobs did you have before getting involved in adult entertainment?

Seka: Factory worker, waitress, shoe sales person, bartender…

Did you go to college?

Seka: Yes, Northwestern in Chicago

I read that you were once a co-owner of a few adult bookstores before you became involved in the adult film business. How did you get involved with the owning a bookstore and was that something you enjoyed?

Seka: I was dating a person who owned one and then as time went on we bought several more of them and yes I did enjoy the stores very much.

When did you first become involved in the adult film industry?

Seka: It was in the late 70’s.

When did you start using the name “Seka” and what does it mean?

Seka: The first movie I did I was asked what name I wanted to use and I said ” I don’t know use “SEKA” What I have been told it means is “LITTLE GIRL”

You performed with some of the best known studs of the 70’s and 80’s. I’m going to throw out a couple of men that you performed with and I want you to give me your impression of them. Randy West, John Leslie, Jamie Gillis, and Ron Jeremy.

Seka: They were, and still to this day, some of the most wonderful men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing or being with.

You also performed with the “King” John Holmes. In fact, it appears that you may have performed with him more than any other woman, and according to your IAFD page, you did more scenes with John than any other man during your career. How close were you with John in your personal life? Were the two of you ever romantically involved off-screen? How was he as a performer? A person?

Seka: I loved John and will always love John. We were never lovers off screen. John was always a perfect gentleman with me as a performer and as a person.

I read somewhere that you spent a year in rehab in the late 70’s. Is this correct?

Seka: I was never in rehab for anything ever. I never did see drugs on the movies I worked on so I can not answer this question for you.

I was also surprised to learn that you actually spent some time in jail in San Diego during the early 80’s. What lead to that ordeal? What were you arrested for? Were you actually sentenced to a prison term, or just arrested?

Seka: I spent 12 hours in the Women San Diego Prison for lewd dancing and obscene conduct.
I was never convicted as it was a case of they just wanted to try to make an example of someone and it turned out that I was not the one.

Your IAFD page says that you actually directed two titles. Was directing something that you enjoyed? Why did you not pursue more directing jobs?

Seka: I enjoyed it very much though it is very stressful and I just wanted to give it a try.

You stayed active in adult film from the late 70’s through the early 90’s, which is an eternity in adult film. You started at 24 years old which is the age most girls retire from the business. You actually retired at about 40 which is just way beyond when most girls give it up. Despite your age, you were in high demand throughout your career. Why did you give it up? What made you quit the film business? Could you have kept going?

Seka: I am sure I could have kept going but I am in love with living and there were no demands being made for testing in those days so I stopped.

The adult film business has changed a lot since your heyday. Do you think has changed for the better or worse? What do you think is lacking in today’s porn movies?

Seka: I don’t fell it has changed for the better. It seems to me that most everyone looks the same these days, there is no romance any more or at least a reason for sex to happen in the first place. It seems to me that that there is so much ANGER in today’s Adult Movies and for me at least SEX and that kind of ANGER do not mix.

What have you been up to all these years after you left the adult film business? Where have you lived? What have you been through? Tell us about things you have been involved in. Your fan club, websites, personal life… etc…

Seka: For the most part I have been working on www.seka.com and my life.

I remember reading that you performed in a hardcore scene a few years ago and that it is available on the Internet. Where can your fans go to see the scene?

Seka: On my site www.seka.com under the VOD banner that says ” clips.com “

What was it like to perform in a sex scene after all the years away from adult film?

Seka: I didn’t miss a beat. LOL

Describe the scene, what can your fans expect to see watching you perform hardcore at over 50?

Seka: The only difference I saw was that I had a hell of a lot more fun, there was no pressure.

Was it just the one scene, or have you done more? If not do you plan on doing any more?

Seka: There were several scenes, go and watch.

Did you ever have any children over the years?

Seka: No, I never wanted children.

It’s surprising to learn that you never really left the adult business. You pretty much stayed active with your fan club, dancing and websites, etc. Do you have any plans of ever retiring completely?

Seka: No.

Are you currently romantically involved with anyone? Married? Dating? Single?

Seka: Married.

Do you enjoy interaction with your fans? Have you ever dated any of your fans? What is the best way that your fans can contact you?

Seka: Yes I enjoy interacting with my fans, never dated my fans. and the best way to reach me is through www.seka.com .

Any chance you would ever hookup with a younger fan, say by about 20 years, who runs a website about retired porn stars?

Seka: No, I’m married and I take that very seriously.

That was a joke… I guess it does not hurt to ask

Seka is still a hot, sexy, smokin' lady

Is there anything else in your life that you would like to mention that I did not cover? Anything you would like to say to your fans?

Seka: Thank each and every one of my fans from the bottom of my heart, with out all of you I would not be who I am today and I owe that to my fans. They were and to this day the BEST FANS a girl could ever have.

Thank you very much for your time, and I would love to do another interview sometime in the future when there are new things to talk about. Please stay in touch.

Seka: Well hopefully that will be very soon. You see I have a book coming out …
The title is “Inside Seka” just like the movie and as a matter of fact it will have the same cover on the book as the movie has.

I will get in touch with you when the book comes out to discuss it.
