I catch her livestreams and she is always a lovely and delightful lady to talk to. She also gives very helpful life tips and is very appreciative of her fans. She truly is one special lady. 💜
I met her and Bud Lee in 1985 when she appeared at some strip joint in Harrisburg, PA. I recall her being very intelligent, in addition to being absolutely stunning. She danced to “I Am the god of hell fire.” A legend of the industry.
My Chief in the Navy loved Hyapatia Lee, and out at sea kept a polaroid of her, him, and his wife in his pocket that had been taken at a club where she was performing. He'd pull it out and say "this reminds me of what we're fighting for."
She moved from colorado to california recently for medical reasons, not sure if it helped, seems not at this point. She is complicated, talented, not a fan of porn and a friend. I have photographed her recently (1-2 years) she is still a very beautiful woman. send her good thoughts, her health situation is serious. Have not seen her since she moved but we have plans for the spring, more photos.
Very, very few come out intact, read her book she didn't either, as she said to me, no one goes in to this industry unless there are already "problems" in their lives. What she did do is take her intelligence and ancestry to recreate herself, she works hard at it, and has succeeded. I assure you she is real.
I'm sorry to hear of her struggles during her youth. She really was a big deal. I'm glad to hear she 'landed safely'. She worked with another very under appreciated performer melanie moore. both worked very consistently.
I was at the Consumer Electronics Show around 87 or 88. I walked into the video section and saw her. Wow!!! I had my picture taken with her and later bought a lot of her VCR tapes.
I am so very happy to hear that she isn't dead and living a (hopefully) happy life! Fantastic! I was sad to believe the death announcement but completely understand it: if her mental health was at risk, by all means shut that part of your life down. I can't believe how the news of her makes my day so much better! God bless you!
I knew she was involved in homeopathic remedies & pursues these in a business venue..remains close to her native American heritage..congratulations on a life well lived! & Of course an immensely beautiful woman..
I still have the polaroid picture I took with her at an Indianapolis strip club in 1990 while I was in training school for the Navy. I had watched most of her movies during the late 80's. She was a true natural beauty. She was a knockout without all the makeup.
Hyapatia is NOT "just another pretty face." She is a true renaissance woman. After retiring from the adult industry, she re-connected with her Native American (Cherokee) heritage. She is a "Blessed Woman," author, columnist for HIGH TIMES magazine, actress, dancer, music artist and YT content creator. She is one multi-talented, smart cookie! 😊
@@MrNitro071 What makes you doubt her? Her mother's side of the family is Native American, Cherokee Indian. She was raised by her Cherokee grandmother.
She was my first ever introduction to pron....used to line my desk with pics of her back in secondary school. She's been here on RUclips for a few years now. Lovely and beautiful today as she was back then.
I think she was the first starlet I ever watched. A movie about a radio station, with Randy West and Lonnie Sanders. I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. Early 80's when I was a teen...OMG
Hypatia revealed in one of videos why she left the industry and the dissolution of her marriage. Apparently she left over a business dispute and this drove wedge in her marriage and her and Bud separated that year.
Seka and some of her fellow adult film stars appeared on Donahue back in early 90's and the audience WELCOMED them with one lady stating she'd rather catch her son watching adult films than watching graphic action/horror movies with people getting ripped apart or chopped up on camera! Sex is NATURAL! Bloody violence isn't !
Yes, she was highly intelligent. While researching for the video I also read that both her children attended magnet schools for highly gifted students.
I remember watching several of her porn films. Distinctive presence and name. I taught Native Americans (Navajo) in the mid to late '80's so it was especially nice to see a Native American porn star.
I was born and raised in southern Indiana. I have been told by several people over the years that she lives in our small town. Never actually seen what she looked like until your video.
I saw her and her husband at the mall in Bloomington. I think it was late 80's. I didn't know who she was but someone I was with pointed her out. She had a band in the 90's that played at the Bluebird in Bloomington. As a local musician at the time I was curious and went to the show. Her band members were obviously hired guns who could play well but the songs were pretty bad. I still respected her for trying to reinvent herself.
Her writing was brilliant! She came up with some classics like. “Where are you going to stick that”? “I’m sure it’ll clear up soon”. And the timeless, “No that’s not a squirrel on my lap”.
Added to the list, I can't guarantee that she'll be next, but I will cover her at some point for sure. 😃 Thanks for the positive comment, I'm really happy you're liking the videos. 👍
Good on you girl. When I spotted the thumb for this I thought oh yes, another porn star hits Boot Hill but I was pleasantly surprised to see that she is still alive and kicking and blissfully growing dack as she approaches her latter years. I am genuinely happy for her that she made it to the other end of the tunnel as it were, and unscathed by the tremendous pressures that are related to that industry. Lets be honest, THOUSANDS of them didn't! Skills lady and if by chance you see this post, well done, you are obv made of the right stuff.
@@RetroGlamor she was just such a lovely euro Asian looking but she was also incredibly natural and seem to be enjoying it but she only lasted a couple years I believe and I’ve never been able to find out where she ended up. She’s in her early 60s now I believe.
@@filippocorti6760 thanks… she was really great for those few short years. She probably end up becoming some housewife with kids, but she’s no spring chicken anymore, but I would like to know what became of her… she certainly cut ties with the industry as far as I know
Having adult films with an actual plot & script, requiring rudimentary acting & directing skills, and almost always comedic, fun, was entertaining & certainly refreshing...was the "golden age" of adult films, so I hear.😉 I'm told the films today are solely ones with minimum to zero talent actors doing the tired, old in/out start to finish, with no direction, no plausible storyline, and totally jejeune. How sad.
Most are victims of sexual abuse, psychological and physical abuse as well. Now you have people telling you it's work like any other. The young girls that are groomed and brainwashed by this mind set will be out of the industry in 6 months and have to live the down side. Some never come to terms with it. We as a society are complicit as well, we tell them it is acceptable now and then shame them if they do. Yes accountability is important, for those in the industry and those who support and promote it.
Certainly one of the most beautiful adult film stars, back when they were actual films/movies.
Had a mad, crush on her during the 1980's. Big favorite of mine. So glad she is doing well these days.
So glad to know this talented beautiful woman survived the Industry and is happy and well in retirement. A true success story.

She helped me through some "hard" times. I wish her the very best.
😅😅😅
I see what you did there. Well done. 😂
In her prime, Lee was easily the most beautiful woman to ever appear in adult films. She still looks amazing today at 64.
I was an actor at the "Black Curtain" in 1979.
I once loaned her some of my country music albums for her "dance" routine.
She was always nice.
She is in bad shape today , bad health and she told me that she is down to her last 100 dollars,

I was there when she won the title 'Miss Nude Galaxy' at the Ponderosa Sun Club in Roselawn, IN.
Definitely my favorite Golden Age prn star. Glad to know she is happy and healthy in retirement!

Had my picture taken with her, at STRIP CLUB, here in KANSAS CITY, mid 80s!!! Tiny, beauty!!

for the Descrambler Cable Box, Good Times
A True Legend! And Icon 👌😆👍 Awesome Lady! 👊😎✊🍊🍁🍊
Always loved her.
Seeing her took me way back
Back in those days it was VHS tapes. I had three of her videos. She is a doll.
What a beautiful, talented woman God bless,hyapatia lee !
American Indian?
Always loved this Lady❤❤❤❤
Just a beautiful and lovely gorgeous lady 😊❤
She was always very orgasmic in her adult films. She was beautiful and exciting.
Seka and Lee were at the top 70’s/80’s adult industry.
fetish I see
She was my first ever introduction to pron....used to line my desk with pics of her back in secondary school.
She's been here on RUclips for a few years now.
Lovely and beautiful today as she was back then.
Right now Hyapatia has her own RUclips channel and and is on X/Twitter. She is a very lovely intelligent woman.
She was unique and way prettier than most of the ladies around her
ABSOLUTELY 💯
Very beautiful woman and a very smart woman.
I wish to meet her, she looks fantastic
I remember seeing her on stage and she was stunning.
She was beautiful. I hope she is doing well.
Beautiful ❤😊
She was really friendly to me. Not to mention incredibly beautiful . At least to me, she seems to have a good heart.
I think she was the first starlet I ever watched. A movie about a radio station, with Randy West and Lonnie Sanders. I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. Early 80's when I was a teen...OMG
i was lucky enough to meet her at a club she was performing at. i still have the photo and signed movie box. glad she is doing well.
Never heard of her , definitely going to check her out later tonight 😈😈😈😈
Beautiful feminine woman
with beautiful eyes and hair
in both areas and smooth
clear skin
I sacrificed a lot of potential kids to her in my younger days…
😅😅😅

I actually didn't care for her as a kid growing up in the 90's....BUT, i would gladly take her over ANYTHING these days. I was just not aware as a kid
I've heard that this lady had a genius level IQ...she was beautiful
Yes, she was highly intelligent. While researching for the video I also read that both her children attended magnet schools for highly gifted students.
She still is very beautiful, maybe I'll post some recent photos. Yes she is a very, very intelligent person.
I still have a few of her videos.
Totally crushed on her in the 80s then got a gf who resembled her in 2008! Boom 💥. Wow.
She is beautiful.
I remember watching several of her porn films. Distinctive presence and name. I taught Native Americans (Navajo) in the mid to late '80's so it was especially nice to see a Native American porn star.
She was from back in the day when there was real art craft in the industry where people had talent and really could act and perform.

I met her at a comic book store in the ninety’s when she put out a comic book
Naturally beautiful.
That under the table scene on the female bodybuilding contest was fire the announcers including the last guy couldn't handle her "oral" skills lol
I have had her many times in the 80's man
Do you have first hand knowledge of that?

beautiful woman
She also has a RUclips channel and is active on X (Twitter)
Cool, I didn't know that.
she was so beautiful. she was married to a guy named bud lee or something
Yes, he was a direcror in the industry. He took her surname when they got married as it is a Cherokee tradition for the husband to do so.
Also has a great singing voice.
I always thought of her as a Goddess
I use to know a guy who was married to her named Chuck Cavoorus who was a salesman at Westlake Audio in west Hollywood on 1988.
My dear auntie
I remember watching her.
Always thought she was a good looking woman.
To me she is the hottest adult entertainer ever
Man, for me, its either her or Tara Patrick. I'd hate to have to make that pick. 2 awesome ladies!
*Tera
@@bele2.041 word. Touche

Who's the actress in the teal dress @ 02:26 ?
thinking the same exact thing
It's Shauna Grant. The clip is from "The young like it hot". I'll be doing a video on her soon. 👍
@@RetroGlamor I feel bad for her. I saw the 80s documentary on her. They interviewed her parents and friends.
I loved her in The Young Like It Hot
stunning beauty.
She's Beautiful and has a nice bush.
SUPER HOT.
In political prison, I knew a guy who did cinematography on some of Lee's films.
Is the blonde woman at 2:26 Shauna Grant?
Yes it is Shauna Grant. The clip is from "The young like it hot".
Take heed, folks. Born to teenaged parents is a surefire way to hard-knock life.
I take it that she didn't die in 1997?
No. She has health issues but is very much alive and still beautiful.
Kay Parker was the one swho did it for me~
I got to meet her and had lunch with her through a mutual friend
She looks like Olivia Rodrigo

Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho
High Times has been done for years now.
Ain't no more high times
No tattoos, no multiple piercings, no weird hairstyle/coloring....I miss women like that (and I'm not even old)
She had her breasts enhanced.
Fake boobs are worser than fake news.
I am friends with her and her health is not real good
What's with the forced subs?
Writes for high times grows marijuana ……God Bless
