Career
[edit | edit source]Zee starred or appeared in over 300 adult movies since entering the industry in 1986.[1] She was about 35-years-old when she began, an age when many adult performers have already retired.[1]

During the 1990s, she formed a pornographic performers' union, but it ultimately collapsed due to lack of political and legal support.[3]
