Hyapatia Lee
Biography 
Birthdate: Friday 11th of November 1960Age: 51 years young
(born November 11, 1960, Indianapolis, Indiana) of Cherokee and Irish descent, is a former American exotic dancer and pornographic actress. As the only (one quarter Cherokee) Native American in the business, during her tenure, she was one of the most prolific pornographic actresses of the Golden Age of Porn.
Lee was born as Victoria (Vicki) Lynch in Haughville, Indianapolis, to teenaged parents. She attended the local high school, where she performed in several musicals. She developed dissociative identity disorder in her teenage years, following reported sexual abuse from her stepfather. She views Hyapatia as a particular personality that allowed her to perform. She met and married Bud Lee, with whom she bought land in rural southern Indiana, where she has lived since. The couple had two children, who were homeschooled by their mother at their Indiana home.
After winning the 1979 Miss Nude Galaxy contest in Roselawn, Indiana, its owner cast Hyapatia Lee in The Young Like It Hot (1983). In 1984 she appeared in a second movie Sweet Young Foxes. In 1984, she appeared in Penthouse, in the same September 1984 record breaking bestselling issue that exposed Miss America 1984, Vanessa Williams (although it became illegal to own since its Penthouse Pet was minor Traci Lords).
With time, her husband Bud joined the cast and crew of her films. Together they starred in the second most expensive pornographic film, The Ribald Canterbury Tales (1985). Lee had difficulties coping with the fame and recognition she received, and had increasing problems with mental illness. She was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, and in 1993, blacked out after having left the set of Native Tongue following a confrontation with the director. She retired from the industry and separated from Bud the same year. She has since remarried and had another child.
Also in 1993, she was inducted into the XRCO and AVN Halls of Fame. She was also given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Free Speech Coalition in 1995.
In 1999, Lee performed on the music CD Porn to Rock. In 2000, she self-published an autobiography, but has largely tried to distance herself from her past career. Like many performers, she retained no rights to her films, and does not earn royalties, but chose not to sue to reclaim cybersquatting entities that use her alias in their domain names.
Under her birth name, Lee has made a return to the legitimate stage. She currently is a member of the Coachlight Musical Theater in Nashville, Indiana.
Hyapatia Lee (pronounced "high-a-PAY-sha") was born Vickie Lynch in November 1962. By 1980 she was performing regularly on stage as an actress at the Black Curtain Dinner Theatre, in the near northside of Indianapolis. By 1982 she had changed her name to Hyapatia (in honor of her Cherokee Indian ancestry). She was a regularly featured exotic dancer (house exotic) at the Red Garter Lounge, where owner John Najem would introduce her: "Here she is--the lovely and talented Miss Hyapatia Lee" to much applause from the audience. In early 1983 she went to Hollywood to become a movie star, and wound up becoming one of the most popular stars in the history of adult films. Beginning her film career in 1983, she made about 36 films until her retirement in 1993 (some of her movies were released a bit later). She was married to director Bud Lee for a few years, and they had children together (they divorced in 1993). In 1993 she was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame. She was given the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Free Speech Coalition in 1995. Nowadays, Hyapatia performs as the lead singer in her rock band Double Euphoric. Her porn days are behind her, and she has spoken out actively for environmental issues and animal rights.
