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:
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
