Film Career
After serving in the U.S. Army, Dye did a few movies in 1997, including Amazing's Tight Ass. Afterwards she then re-enlisted. She was then stationed at Fort Lewis as a member of the Military Police in the Army's Regional Confinement Facility. She appeared in a few more films after this, including Cream Entertainment Group's Major Slut, and was a contract star for Cream Entertainment. Dye appeared in at least eleven adult films overall. She later revealed that she suffered from bipolar disorder and appeared in her first pornographic movie in 1995 because she was homeless, unemployed, and seeking treatment. Dye said she used a pseudonym during the one day of filming in which she was involved, saying, "I absolutely 100 percent regret doing that. I've always tried to look ahead and not focus on it. But I wasn't diagnosed at the time." Dye was 22 years old when she appeared in her first adult movie, and went on to receive a bachelor's degree from Murray State University.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or career:
“If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
