Need sources[edit]

I have seen a few of Hyapatia Lee's movies, which are my only sources; the only ones I can cite here as being relevant are entitled "Heavenly Hyapatia" and "Snakedance."

There seems to be a lot of spiritual/occult overtones in much of Ms. Lee's work, and it seems to be very autobiographical. I wonder if anyone out there knows more about this? Moreover, despite all her talk of Native American spirituality, the spiritual content in her films seems to owe more to Western occultism than Native American belief. Can anyone provide any details on this?

While her name change to "Hyapatia" is supposedly to reflect her Native American heritage, comments in one of her films seemed to indicate that she was paying homage to Hypatia of Alexandria (the misspelling notwithstanding) in the risque version of that woman's biography.

Her insistence that her husbands take her last name may have something to do with feminism, but I believe it has more to do with Cherokee tradition.

Golden Age Of Porn?[edit]

It says she was in the Golden Age of Porn in the 80s, but the link to the Golden Age of Porn says the time era ended in the mid 70s. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 04:35, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hyapatia Lee (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I have been trying to make changes to my page. I am Hyapatia Lee. I don't know what more I need to do to prove my identity to you but I have had several correspondences with identities unknown to me regarding the changes I have tried to make. They informed me of the need to prove my identity, so, in that effort: my blog is hyapatialee.wordpress.com and I just published a new book called Native Strength - The First Step on the Path to an Indomitable Life which is available on AuthorHouse.com and Amazon.com where I also have an author page with links to videos I have personally made (via Filmora) that are excerpts from the book. I hope this proves my identity to you. Please allow me to get to the meat of the situation.

I am not a particularly computer literate person, being 55 years old, I feel I am doing pretty well to have done the things I have. In other words, I am not fluent in HTML and obviously, have not succeeded in trying to update my page. The first thing I would like to do on my page is to add my new endeavors, namely, my book and links to relevant pages. Another issue is the use of the word "prolific" when describing my prior career in adult movies. As an actress who was involved in the business for over 10 years, 96 films (including compilations) as reported on the page currently, is not particularly prolific when compared with such contemporaries as Nina Hartley who has appeared in over one thousand movies. When compilations are excluded, my actual participation was four or five movies a year, and in some years, only two. As I was one of the most popular actresses at the time and brought in more revenue than many others, I would like to argue for the use of the more accurate word "popular" instead.

I would also like to have my work in R- rated films included. I was in Killing Obsession and worked opposite John Savage from The Deer Hunter and The Godfather, as well as having rolls in Hellroller and The Wacky Adventures of Dr.Boris and Nurse Shirley starring Paul Bartel from Eating Raoul.

In addition, my first album, The Two Sides of Hyapatia Lee was released by SRO Records. One side was country music and the other was comedy. One of the songs on the comedy side, Rub-A-Dub-Dub, made it to #3 on Dr.Dementos's weekly list of the Funny Five. As for my music with my band Double Euphoric and the album I released by the same name, I think it is worth noting that it was all original music written by me.

As for the line about trying to distance myself from the adult movie business, I would like that to be removed as it is entirely false. Simply because one no longer wishes to make adult movies does not mean one wishes to distance themselves from their past. I retired in 1996 to raise my children in Indiana. Now that they are grown, I have returned to work. As an older woman, I feel more comfortable with writing, as I did for Cheri Magazine for five years in the 1980's. My weekly advice column for High Times, available on their Facebook page, is very similar. Furthermore, my first book The Secret Lifes of Hyapatia Lee has been misquoted as being an effort to either "trash talk" the business or "make excuses" for my involvement in it. It is neither. It is simply a candid look at my life and what prompted me to choose that career. Nowhere in the book do I make any statements regarding regret in my choice to be involved in that business, as I have none. In it, I make quite clear that it was helpful to me and that I was treated well in the business. My only two criticisms of the business are clearly spelled out: 1) Performers are underpaid, and 2) Most performers did not have the control over their work that I did. My childhood was shitty, so what? Lots of us have shitty childhoods. That is not to say all people with shitty childhoods will choose this profession or that my profession was a direct result of my childhood. One makes excuses for behaviors they regret. My childhood was offered in my autobiography to give the reader insight into my personality, not as an "excuse" for behavior for which I have no regrets.

Thank you very much for your time and help in making my page more accurate.

I just took a look at the article about you and I don't see the word "prolific" used anywhere. And I do see several mentions of your R-rated movie career, television appearances, and music releases. If you can give me more specific instances of what you think needs to be edited, I will be happy to consider them. Hayford Peirce (talk) 18:30, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possible impersonation; anybody involved with the verification process?[edit]

The account User:HyapatiaLee has been editing here for some time, but we have no evidence whether this is the subject or not, so I did a perfunctory impersonation block. Is anybody here involved with the verification process? --Orange Mike | Talk 15:39, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other roles?[edit]

Isn't this the same person as is author of a series of non-fictional books? 188.149.232.53 (talk) 08:20, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth[edit]

@Sangdeboeuf: you removed her date of birth [1]. Her website verifies it, so there're no privacy issues. Are there reasons to believe she's unreliable for it? --Hipal (talk) 00:17, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:DOB, if a person is borderline notable, we should omit the full date of birth; I'd say that applies to Lee given the available sourcing. Her website appears defunct, whether due to neglect or a wish for privacy we don't know, so I wouldn't rely on it as a source. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 00:28, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hyapatia and where her beauty comes from? ⛩️🤞❤️[edit]

I am just curious about her nationality because I think she’s absolutely gorgeous 24.229.148.75 (talk) 10:02, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
