Biography
About Dorothy LeMay
An American, Dorothy LeMay was born on February 14, 1954, in Los Angeles, California. She grew up in a modest household and, after completing high school, worked as a secretary at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1976, she answered a newspaper ad promising $300 a day for modeling or acting work, which led her into the adult film industry. She started with short loops and moved on to feature films, using many stage names over the years, including Dorothy LaMay, Norma Jean, and Desiree Loy.
Her adult film career ran from 1977 to 1987, placing her in the Golden Age of Porn. Over those ten years, she appeared in more than 70 films and scenes, though estimates range from 30 to over 100 if compilations are included. She worked with studios such as VCX, Caballero Home Video, and Video-X-Pix. Her best-known movies include Taboo (1980), Taboo II (1982), Nightdreams (1981), Vista Valley PTA (1981), and High School Memories (1980). Those films showcased her versatility across solo, girl-girl, and boy-girl content. She performed with frequent co-stars like John Seeman, Jesse Adams, Mike Horner, and John Holmes. She also had a minor uncredited role in the mainstream film 10 (1979). Her work earned her an AVN Hall of Fame induction in 1998.
Dorothy LeMay retired from adult entertainment in 1987. After retiring, she took a job at ABC Messenger Service in Los Angeles. Her physical appearance in her films was notable: she had long red hair, brown eyes, and a slim build. She stood 5'7" and weighed around 121 pounds, with natural 34C breasts. Her on-screen persona was often described as the girl next door. She was married to Lee LeMay, but little else is known about her personal life. She kept away from scandals and lived a quieter life after her career ended.
