One of the most popular black stars in porn, Heather Hunter began her adult-film career on her 18th birthday, shooting Heather Hunter on Fire (1988) in 1988. Born and raised in New York City, she shot a few adult films there before journeying to Los Angeles. A former dancer on the TV show Soul Train (1971), she was at one time under contract to Vivid Video and became one of that company's select crop of "Vivid Video Girls". She has made small appearances in several "mainstream" films, and has at times dated comedian Bill Maher and actor Charlie Sheen.
