Watching an HBO documentary on the making of an adult film piqued Dee's interest in porn. She met the subject of the film, Greg Steel, in a mall, and he directed her to Jim South's World Modeling. The Puerto Rican debuted in the Spring of 1997.

She frequently performs with her husband Rob. "We're both very sexual people," she told the 2-98 AVN. If I can help someone fulfill a fantasy, that's really cool." Dee says she once sent a jailed friend naked Polaroids to help him make it through the night.

Dee lost her virginity early. Her first time with a girl came in porn - Crystal Knight.

She operates her own web site www.deesclubhouse.com

As of 7/98, Dee appeared in about 60 videos, including Beautiful Evil, Sweet Seduction 69, and the Spice Girls spoof The 5 Sins. Her two favorites are Degrees of Decadence II and Innercity Black Cheerleader Search 14.

Dee says her first lesbian experience came on screen, with Crystal Knight.

I talk to Dee about the story I ran on my site a couple of months ago about porn stars, including her, getting kicked out of the Hilton Hotel in Cannes, France.

Dee, of Puerto Rican descent, says she was called by her husband and asked: "Are you ok? All the gossip sites say you guys got kicked out?"

Dee clarifies to Luke Thursday: "There are four different stories [of why the porn girls were kicked out right before the Hot D'Or (France's version of AVN) Press Luncheon]. One of them is that these [porn] girls were outside flashing. Come on, this is Cannes. They have nude beaches right across the way. The second story is that there were too many people for the fire marshals.

"What it came down to was: The mayor found out where it [the Hot D'Or porno press luncheon] was at and called the hotel and told them to stop the elevators so nobody could go up [to the lunch]. They closed it down. The fire marshals showed up and told everyone to stop going up. The event was closed.

"So you have all these people... All the European actresses and the people from the States. And we're sitting there... This is where we are to meet and mingle and say, 'Love your work. How are you? What's going on?'

"So we're in the lobby and sitting there and saying, 'Here's Europe, France, the place where you are supposed to be all happy and great and accepted. And yet the mayor calls to say, 'Shut this down.' There's a problem here. And a lot of people were really upset because this was a big function."

Miss Bradley: "And it's been there for years. And it generates millions of dollars."

Dee: "Some people don't want it [porn] there and so some people are purposely setting out to have it closed down. So the [Hot D'or] award show was the next night which went off with no problems. But later, down the line, we were all talking, and they [Hot D'Or] are becoming hesitant to do this next year. They may not do it again next year because of all the problems.

"It wasn't that it [cancelling the lunch] was a big deal. But it was how it was done. They felt like, wow, do we really want to go through this? And we looked at them, "Now you guys understand what we went through in the States. It's just unfortunate that here we're in Europe... It was told to us that Europe was the freeest place to do all these things. You guys got closed down just for a press luncheon.'"

Miss Bradley: "Yeah, that's scary."

Dee: "It was fun being there with the mainstream. And they come up to you and go, 'What do you do?' And you're like, 'I do adult movies.' And they go, 'Really?' And they don't talk to you for about five minutes and then they come back and go, 'How long have you been doing adult? And do you know this director and that director?' And I go, 'No, those are European directors. I really don't know them. But these are the American directors. They all know Max Hardcore."

Luke: "How are things with Dee and Rob Enterprises?"

Dee: "I'm trying to branch off and start producing. Inari Vachs and I are producing a movie for Wicked called "French Kiss." We shoot our last scene on Sunday. That's our first duo producing project. It's been an adventure. Just the whole process of learning to produce and be talent at the same time. I don't ever want to do that again. It should be out in August..."

Dee says three of her friends from high school have emailed her to say, 'You are the last one we'd expect to ever do porn.'

Dee says: "A guy from junior high walked up to me at the last Erotica LA show and he walks up to me and goes, 'No way.' And I was like, 'No way.' And he goes, 'What are you doing here?' And I go, 'I do this now.' And he goes, 'Ohhh, man, no way. You were the quiet one. You'd be the last person.'

"I was a tomboy. I never dressed up. Baggy jeans four times bigger than me, hanging out playing basketball with the guys... Or being the bookworm, trading notes, giving homework, studying. Same thing in high school. So see, the little swan has grown up."

Luke: "Did Rob get you into this?"

Dee: "I really want to clarify this. A lot of people are saying that he forced me into this business and that he's abusing me... Those of you who say this, say it to us. Don't say it behind our backs and have our friends come up to us in tears, crying, because they heard this kind of stuff.

"We were both working normal jobs. And he ran into Greg Steel and Julie Rage. And they were talking. And he had some pictures of me that he had taken for a friend in jail. I'm a freak. I didn't care. Ok, cool, it's your friend. They weren't nude. They were clothing shots and bathing suits... He gave them to his friend. 'This is my girlfriend, I want you to see who she is.'

"So he showed the pictures to Greg and Greg said, 'Here's a number, go see Jim South.' So we talked about it. And he goes, 'Maybe we will just see how it is. If we don't like it, we don't have to do it.' And I thought, 'That would be kind of cool. I have nothing to lose. I don't have a family with a million dollar fortune. Let's try it out.'

"I did tell him my negatives on it. If things go that way, we won't do it. I never wanted it to mentally mess me up, with my self image... The moment that happens to me, I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want it to ruin us or me as a person.

"I did my first scene. He was there. And it was fun. And we constantly worked every day and learned and met people... It was never about the money. It was more about a new adventure in life.

"Finally we quit our jobs and got into it fulltime. And we realized that there was more potential as far as managing, producing, directing, travelling."

Luke: "Is Rob a porn star also?"

Dee: "He used to be. I wouldn't call him a porn star. He's done movies. I came in first doing movies because he didn't want to. Finally, we did a movie with Ed Powers and I dragged him into it. And then he started doing it with me.

"He never pushed to work with me. But because they knew we were together, they put us together."

Luke: "What's your ethnic background?"

Dee: "Puerto Rican. A lot of people thought I was black when I first came into the business. It took me a year and a half to finally beat it into everybody that I was Puerto Rican."

Gwen Summers, a pale white redhead, is sitting on the couch now with Dee. Miss Bradley and I sit on chairs near them.

Luke: "That happened to Gwen too. Everyone thought she was black.

"Dee, you started out doing black films?"

Dee: "Yes. I did Ed Powers and T.T. Boy's Black Street Hookers 7."

Luke: "Woo hoo, your parents must be so proud."

Dee: "Oh yes, my mom is like, 'Oohhh, my little girl.'

"I shot for Hustler in October of 1997 and I got the cover and the centerfold of the June-July 1998 issue. And that was my proudest moment."

Miss Bradley: "Did you get to meet Larry Flynt?"

Dee: "I met him. I've talked to him. Every time they have a signing at Hustler Hollywood, they have me there. It's great to see him. I love to see him."

Miss Bradley: "I wish he would run for president."

Dee: "He's very smart. I admire him that he took a stand at a very young age. Smut's smut and we're going to do it no matter what. And not make it look all cute and artsy.

"I heard him give a speech at the Hot D'Or and everyone stood up and started crying. See you guys, it's everybody."

Dee turns to me. "You doing this. This is what's going on. I'm going to put it out there. If you don't like it, don't buy it."

Miss Bradley: "That's one thing I hate about the Christian right wing. We're not going to look at it and we don't want you to look at it. Come on, this is America. Do not make my choices for me."
