Career
editZee starred or appeared in over 300 adult movies since entering the industry in 1986.[1] She was about 35-years-old when she began, an age when many adult performers have already retired.[1]
For 67 videos she served as director, writer, and producer. In 1990, she formed her own production company, Ona Zee Pictures.[1] The company initially focused on bondage titles, but later moved on to other genres as well, such as feature and girl-girl movies.[1][2]
