Dorothy LeMay is a former American adult film actress, who was active in porn from the late 1970s until the early-1980s. She was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 1998.

Dorothy is best remembered for her role as Sherry McBride in the adult classics Taboo and Taboo II. She also starred in the memorable 1981 porn thriller Night Dreams (her personal favorite work), which featured her first (and only) interracial scene.

Dorothy was working at the University of California, Berkeley in 1976 when she got her start in porn doing "loops" after answering an ad in their paper that said "make $300 a day."

Dorothy ran out of the theater crying after seeing her first film Formal Faucet, she felt that it was a "disaster" because her voice was dubbed over with someone else's, and it "didn't make sense". She had worked on Formal Faucet 18 hours a day for three days. The experience bothered her so much that she considered getting out of the business. However, her second film Sensual Encounters of Every Kind was a much better experience and she ended up staying in the industry for a few more years.

Dorothy ended up leaving the adult movie business after filming her scenes for Night Dreams in 1981, because she had just broken up with her boyfriend and had a good job at ABC Messenger Service in LA. A few films (notably Taboo II) were released after Night Dreams because they were already filmed before she left the business.

[edit] Trivia

Dorothy made an uncredited cameo appearance as a nude party-goer in the 1979 mainstream film 10, which starred Dudley Moore and Bo Derek.

After seeing her nude cameo in 10, her conservative family (who had no idea about her porn career) called her at 2:00 a.m. to say "you're sinning." (Source: [1])

Dorothy bears a striking resemblance to former child actress Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady on the 1970s sitcom The Brady Bunch. [2]
