SEKA speaks with Dr Susan Block at the Hollywood Show

Known as "The Platinum Princess" & "The Marilyn Monroe of Porn," SEKA was arguably the biggest female star of the Golden Age of Adult Cinema, as famous as Linda Lovelace, but much more in charge of her life and work. In this interview with sexologist Dr. Susan Block, Seka speaks about her life, the adult entertainment business, her new autobiography "INSIDE SEKA" the recent death of Screw Magazine publisher Al Goldstein, and why she loved working with John Holmes (hint: it's not what you think). This is the fourth in a series of Dr. Block's interviews at the Hollywood Show. For more about the Hollywood Show click http://bloggamy.com/hollywood-show/.

hi I'm dr. Susan block here at the
Hollywood show and it's the tail end of
the show and I get to speak to the
princess of porn herself seca i'm so
thrilled to speak to you
well thank you so much we finally got to
do this and it's taken us two days being
in the same room to do it but we finally
got to do it so you've had so many fans
surrounding you
well I don't get out to California very
often so it's usually a pretty good time
for me and have my I have my new book at
inside seka the platinum princess
support by it it's a good pic it's a
good read
definitely i did read parts of it and
it's excellent
it'sit's very sincere i mean i-i guess
it's sincere you know you talk about
your life in a very real way
well I can't lie about your life what
you can you can gloss over things and
and you certainly bring it all out i
don't i don't like liars so i tried to
do that I have to tell you that you are
the first porn star that I ever saw on
VHS
Oh VHS I have eight millimeter here and
i have 35 millimeter at home and beta
and VHS and now DVD so got it all I've
run through the whole gamut of whatever
the industry could offer as far as
viewing pleasure
well you certainly have and you've been
like the princess of pleasure for a
while I mean youyou really became a
powerful woman in the industry when most
women were just kind of learning their
lines
well if you don't do it for yourself
nobody's going to do it for you and if
you want to have a long-lasting career
in the business you have to take control
of it and paying it forward for yourself
and the other people not just women that
come behind you
so it's easier for them and better for
them as well
well you've definitely made it easier
and better for blondes everywhere and I
appreciate that
thank you that was one of the first
flight and blogs in the business you out
the Marilyn Monroe of porn something
like oh yeah that's what it says right
there on the inside seka movie poster
yeah i mean it was a time when not all
the porn stars were so beautiful but you
were beauty queen in high school and you
just decided to get a little while now i
just decided that I didn't like the way
that women looked in the business and
with no makeup and their hair was all
dirty and there but said pimples and
their feet were dirty and I was like you
know this isn't a great representation
of women and i think it should be better
a better representation of women and the
beauty that we have to offer the whole
world so I tried to help that
well you certainly did I mean you made
being a porn star seemed glamorous at a
time when it was something so
underground
well it was still underground with me
but I really didn't give a rat's s so i
tried to make it glamorous and it was
fun and had a good time and I've made a
lot of really really good friends
through my years in the business so and
a mutual friend of ours introduced us
years ago al goldstein
he passed away recently you want to say
goodbye to two weeks ago he did and I
posted it on facebook and twitter as
well and I get called him last year for
his birthday and he was he was very
thrilled for getting a birthday wish
so he's going to be sorely missed and a
crazy crazy crazy nutty man but a
good-good guy had a good very good
person a certainly brought a lot of us
together for brunch and that was a
beautiful thing in and of itself
yes I forget the name of the place in
New York where we used to all go for
lunch we used to go to Spago out here
and do pars and I don't remember where
it was i met you I feel like you're
oh maybe it was New York wasn't a 2-yard
one night after dinner we went to
serendipity for peanut butter ice cream
and I was staying at the Plaza I got so
L because of all the rich food that we
had all night long and then peanut
butter chocolate ice cream add
serendipities and I was just like I was
the porcelain queen that night at least
it begins with a pee and as well as
something else
so tell us about what you've got here
you got your book inside seka the
platinum princess of porn which you can
get in book stores now and enamel you
you cannot get in the book so you can
get it at stake . com you could get it
at barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com but
if you want an autograph from me to you
you have to buy it at second . com and
can you tell us a little bit about some
of these other things like it's just my
dvds i didn't bring them all because I
just didn't have room to bring them all
and I think inside seka a blonde
president paradise
blondfire carefully maybe watching blood
he would john leslie Dracula sucks with
jamie gillis American garter did you
have a favorite male co-star john holmes
why did you like John someone because
John can eat really good pussy but John
was also very nice to me
jon was always very very nice to make
and Richard pacheco of course and you
play a very important role in his book
hindsight he praises you constant yes oh
yes you're very Mike Ranger so John
Holmes everybody knows him for his dick
but apparently eating pussy is what one
sacred heart
no it was his personality and his art
the other stuff is superficial
I mean it's a good thing I mean it's a
plus but he was a good guy he has a good
heart and it was always a gentleman to
me so that's what made it work for me
okay well this is your first time at the
Hollywood know you've been here before
right I was here five years ago when it
was a out in Burbank and so then you
were in the general room with the with
the mainstream celebrities everybody was
in the same room so how do you like it
when there's this adult will usually
they don't have this many adult people
in this in the same show so I think this
was a first which I i think it went
pretty well considering you are
surrounded by fans so what advice do you
have for women or men for that matter
who are entering into porn now make sure
you have a good education you save your
money and you have a billion be because
what you do it you've done it it's never
going to go away you're still going to
be a pornstar when you're dead and make
sure you can have gainful employment
besides this business wise words thank
you so much for sharing a few minutes
with us SE Cupp thank you darling i
shaking
