Seka is an American pornographic actress who appeared in many pornographic films during the late 1970s and the 1980s.

Born, Dorothea Hundley Patton, 15 April 1954 in Radford, Virginia.
Dorothea H. Patton was raised in Radford, Virginia and attended high school in Hopewell, where she won a number of beauty pageants, including "Miss Hopewell High School" and "Miss Southside Virginia".

She took her stage name, "Seka", from a Serbo-Croatian term of endearment for a little girl, similar to "little sweetheart" or "little darling".

Subsequently, she admitted that the HIV/STD epidemic in the mid-1980s contributed to her decision to avoid the hard-core sex scene ("That's why I don't make porn movies any more .... I like to live").

By the early 1990s she had returned to the porn industry to perform in a few final movies, her last being, "American Garter".

Jamie Gillis, who performed with Seka numerous times, believed that she was "a bit above porn", describing her as a "white trash queen".

Of her fellow performers, she lists her favorite male screen partners as Jamie Gillis, Jᴏʜɴ Hᴏʟᴍᴇs, Mike Ranger and Paul Thomas.

In terms of female screen partners, she rates her favorites as Veronica Hart, Aunt Peg, Kay Parker and Candida Royalle.

Under the influence of Ken Yontz, her second-husband-to-be, she ran several adult bookstores in the 1970s until they moved to Las Vegas.

While there she did her first nude layout, but they eventually returned to Virginia.

The layout brought an offer to shoot her first porn film, a short, in Baltimore.

She and Yontz subsequently moved to Los Angeles, where she devoted herself to the pursuit of her career in porn, initially using the name, "Sweet Alice", as well as, "Linda Grasser."

She went on to star in more than 200 adult videos with "a break" in 1982, when she stopped shooting sex movies claiming, "they wouldn't pay her what she wanted", and turned to stripping and nude modeling while also running her own fan club.

In 1997, she hosted a radio talk show in Chicago called, "Let's Talk About Sex", on Saturday nights from 10pm - 2am on 97.9FM, "The Loop"; she did the show for about three years.

Five years later, she was the focus of a documentary, "Desperately Seeking Seka".
The premise finds Swedish filmmakers, Christian Hallman and Magnus Paulsson, on a quest to find the porn legend and ask for an interview. Since its completion the film toured the International Film Festival circuit and became available on DVD.

In 2005, Seka moved from Chicago to Kansas City, operating her fan club through her own website.

In February 2007, she gave an interview with the Kansas City-based ALTernative weekly newspaper, The Pitch, where she stated she had just shot her first hard-core scene in nearly 15 years, available as on-line pay-per-view.

Seka is a Member of the AVN Hall Of Fame, and the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall Of Fame.

In the online comic, "Achewood" the thoroughly depressed character, 'Roast Beef' ponders what his last memory of life will be before he dies. He then remembers his childhood friend Ray asking him, "Dude! Have you heard of Seka?"

A natural brunette of Cherokee Indian and Irish descent, Dorothea H. Patton created the mythical platinum blonde persona known as, "Seka", who it has been claimed, "was admired by her fans for the authenticity and versatility of her performances".

Her films are among the most popular erotica of all time. Jamie Gillis, who performed with Seka in numerous films, believed that she was, "A cross between royalty and white trash".

1980s porn star Ginger Lynn described Seka as, "The only woman that I was ever intimidated by".

Another 1980s legend, Amber Lynn, remembers being impressed with Seka's white hair, for being "so tall and amazing", and that she wanted to "be like her!"

Seka later reflected, "Why did I stop doing films? I got too old. I love to eat". Seka later admitted that: "The plain fact was that I had reached a plateau that terrifies every woman in the film business, inside or outside porn: I was 40! I have to admit it - I slept a great deal during this period .... Can it be any plainer that I had sunk into a funk?"

Seka is a member of the AVN Hall Of Fame, and the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall Of Fame.

She lists Mike Ranger and Jᴏʜɴ Hᴏʟᴍᴇs as her favorite film partners.

In the late 1980s, Seka was linked romantically with the comedian, Sam Kinison, and made an appearance during the opening sketch of an episode of, "Saturday Night Live" that Sam was hosting.

In 1997, she hosted a radio talk show in Chicago called, "Let's Talk About Sex".

During the time she lived in Chicago, Seka showed her enthusiasm for sports as an avid baseball fan, supporting the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox.

Seka on her past: "If I changed anything about my past, I wouldn't be the same person I am today, and I like me today".

The character, "Amber Waves" (played by, Julianne Moore, in the film, "Boogie Nights"), a fictional girlfriend of the Jᴏʜɴ Hᴏʟᴍᴇs character that was a composite of several women in his life, was partly based on Seka, according to the film's director, Paul Thomas Anderson.

Seka trademarked her stage name in April 1985.

In April 2005, Seka moved to her home near Kansas City, MO.

She operates her fan club through her own Website.
