Zee starred or appeared in over 300 adult movies since entering the industry in 1986.[1] She was about 35-years-old when she began, an age when many adult performers have already retired.[1]
For 67 videos she served as director, writer, and producer. In 1990, she formed her own production company, Ona Zee Pictures.[1] The company initially focused on bondage titles, but later moved on to other genres as well, such as feature and girl-girl movies.[1][2]
During the 1990s, she formed a pornographic performers' union, but it ultimately collapsed due to lack of political and legal support.[3]
Zee was born in Los Angeles, California. According to the TV series HBO Real Sex, Ona Zee was the spouse of Frank Zee, a Vietnam-era combat jet pilot. They were still married by the 1990s.[7]
