Hyapatia Lee was a multi-talented performer from an early age—showing skills as a dancer, actress, choreographer, musician and singer; in fact, while in high school, she performed in several musicals. Entering the adult film business in 1983, Hyapatia worked during the "Golden Age of Porn" when, as she stated, "...we made real movies that just happened to have sex in them." Adult Career: Film Studios and Top Rated Porn Movies At the beginning of her career (entering the scene with then husband, Bud Lee)she played Jane, a long-hair seductress who had a very hot scene with Randy West, and in the same year appeared in Bob Chinn’s The Young Like It Hot alongside her husband. In 1984, she appeared in the movie Sweet Young Foxes—at the same time featured in Penthouse magazine, in the same September 1984 issue that exposed Miss America 1984, Vanessa Williams. After Bud Lee moved to the director's chair in 1985, he and Hyapatia starred in one of the most expensive adult movie productions of the time Ribald Tales of Canterbury, loosely based on Geoffrey Chaucer and scripted by the lady herself. (The movie had a $300,000 budget.) Hyapatia also gave exemplary performances in films like Anthony Spinelli's Red Garter and Bob Chinn's Let's Get Physical. In the following years, she appeared only as a star in high-value movies produced by adult studios like Vivid, VCA, and Wicked. Her inclusion into the Legends of Porn 2 compilation series has served as further proof of her immense popularity during the 80's. Her last title was Bud Lee’s Centerfold (1993) and in Burgundy Blues, filmed the same year, Hyapatia showed off her musical talents—a sign of things to come.
