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.

Personal Quotes

"Cherokees are Matriarchal. We see the feminine side as being equal if not superior. Women hold property and rule the house. When a couple marries the huband takes his wife's last name."

"Why is God always male in the Bible when women are the sex chosen to create the miracle of a new life, give birth and feed their precious young from their own bodies in all but snails and seahorses? The feminine power of the universe is very strong and our current world has chosen to dominate and silence it. Mother Nature has already started Her revolt with unseasonable tornados, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and droughts in record numbers and severity."

"I cannot easily relate to a God that is male. A heavenly father to me just has more authority to beat and molest his daughters, especially if this particular view of God included the restriction of females in his little black book."

Where Are They Now

(2002) Lives in Indiana with her second husband and three children.
