Career
Smith appeared in a number of mainstream Hollywood films and B-movies before settling into the world of softcore pornography. She had an early starring role in the 1986 sex comedy Pretty Smart alongside Patricia Arquette as a rich sexpot at a private school in Greece, but her other roles in mainstream films of the late 1980s and early 1990s (The Last Boy Scout, Disorderlies) were minor. She had an uncredited role in the 1976 Alan Parker film, Bugsy Malone.
With her entry into the softcore films came more leading roles. She became a staple of the softcore scene in the late 1990s, appearing in Erotic Confessions, The Bare Wench Project series, and several Andy Sidaris films such as L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies: Return to Savage Beach.
Smith has a long-running professional relationship with director Jim Wynorski, having appeared in numerous films of his during the 1990s and 2000s. According to the documentary Popatopolis, Smith announced her retirement from acting in 2005, after the completion of The Witches of Breastwick; however, in 2007, she again began making films with Wynorski.
