Dorothy LeMay performed in sex flicks from the late '70s to the early '80s.

"I have my own life," says Dorothy, "that I try to keep apart from making adult movies, but I do enjoy them when the right offers come my way....The right kind of people making the right movie, the right money, and a good script. People have to treat me well and I don't do loops anymore.

"I enjoy movies more than loops because movies involve more acting and I have to put more out. Whereas a loop has hardly any story line and it's mostly silly if there is one. It's just fast sex."

Dorothy feels excited when she first arrives on a set. "I like to get crazy. I enjoy seeing people and I enjoy what I do. Even in my first loop, I was never self-conscious about the camera though I wasn't used to the angles.

"In 1976 I worked at the University of California at Berkeley. I answered an ad in their Berekley paper that said "make $300 a day." So I went on an interview with my husband of that time and we started doing loops.

"John Seeman helped me start. He knew the right people to send me to, though my first movie was a disaster. Formal Faucet. It was gross and I ran out of the theater crying after I saw it. They had cut the film and were using someone else's voice and they weren't the words coming out of my mouth. It didn't make sense. That experience almost made me get out of the business. Also the filmmakers worked me 18 hours a day for three day.

"My second movie, Sensual Encounters of Every Kind, was done by Harold Lime. It turned my head around. He paid me twice as much as I was paid for the other film and he was nice to me. That was the first time I worked with John Leslie. We did a hot, hot sauna scene." (Adam 1/83)

Dorothy left the biz after Nightdreams. "I had just broken up with Ernie who I met during High School Memories. I had my first lesbian affair because I hated Ernie. I had a good job at ABC Messenger Service in LA, so I decided to cool out from the business for a while.

"My family doesn't know about my erotic career. My mother knows I was in 10 for ten seconds in the nude scene. My sisters and brothers went to see it and they came home and called me long distance at two in the morning, and said, "Dorothy, you're sinnning."

"We were supposed to film [10] for two days, but the weather wasn't right, and Blake Edwards [the director] didn't work if the conditions weren't to his liking. But we got paid anyway. And we'd [a group of porn stars recruited for a nude scene in 10] get crazy in our Culver City hotel room. Annette Haven had her leather party one night and

room service walked into it. Jamie Gillis and Serena were there. Craziness. The hotel management didn't like us after that and we didn't get any more room service.

"It seems like every time I do a film, I haven't had sex for like a month before. So when people call me, I say yes [breathlessly]. I know it's going to be good sex. I get off on cameramen. I've dated a lot of them.

"I'm a faithful girl when I love somebody. So I only indulge in outside sex when I'm filming. That's why I'm so happy to be in this business." (Adam 1/83)

Dorothy's favorite movie is Nightdreams. "I dated the gaffer after that one. He was a neat guy who made it fun for me to do the movie. And the people who made the movie were nuts."

She sucks off a black man wearing a giant Cream of Wheat box. "That guy apparently had never had a blowjob and he was 26. He was married and I don't know why his wife wouldn't get into that. He was nervous and he had to drink whisky before the scene. And he was swerving the box so they laid him down of the floor. [Which didn't deter LeMay from pipecleaning.] That was my first time working with a black guy. It wasn't something that I didn't want to do. I had just never met one in that situation.

"Annette Haven and I worked together at the Mitchell Brothers [O'Farrell Theater] for a week. Annette took this big dildo and stuck it in me, and I said, "Annette, you have no mercy." We'd come in softly and she'd go offstage. I would be laying there and the music would hit a hard beat and she'd come out in her leather stuff. It was fun until she was pulling a string of balls out of my vagina, and she pulled hard and one was left inside me. I got hurt and I couldn't perform the last day. Annette can get mean - she's playing that role and she means it." (AFW)
