Career
Kay Parker was reportedly introduced to the adult film industry during the late 1970s by actor John Leslie, who suggested she take part in one of his upcoming films.
Upon hearing that it was a pornographic movie, Parker reportedly declined the offer. Eventually she eased into the industry by only playing bit parts in non-sexual roles. However, porn director Anthony Spinelli talked her into doing her first sex scene in the 1977 film Sex World.
Her first onscreen sex partner was Joey Silvera. According to her autobiography Taboo - Sacred, Don't Touch, Silvera mis-timed a slap during their sex scene, resulting in Parker's getting a tooth chipped.
Upon release of Sex World, Parker quickly became a sensation in the adult film industry. With her posh British accent, flaming red hair and firm 38DD breasts, Parker became one of the most popular stars at that time and one of the most requested to work with by the male porn actors of the day. Her favorites included Leslie, Paul Thomas, Herschel Savage, Mike Ranger, Silvera and Randy West.
She appeared in adult films during the late 1970s and throughout most of the 1980s. She also got a small part in the Burt Reynolds film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), where she can be spotted during a quick scene at the beginning of the movie. She had a brief, uncredited role as a Moabite prostitute in the historical drama Masada and body-doubled the female lead in the closing scene of The Nude Bomb, based on the TV series Get Smart.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
