Kay Parker career
Upon relocating to the United States, Parker achieved success in the import business. It was in the late 1970s that a porn actor, John Leslie, introduced her to the adult film industry. Initially, Parker declined upon learning it was a pornographic film.
However, she gradually entered the industry, starting with non-sexual roles. Eventually, director Anthony Spinelli persuaded her to perform her first sex scene in the film Sex World. Parker’s first on-screen partner was porn actor Joey Silvera. In interviews, Parker mentioned that their sex scene became so intense that she chipped a tooth, a mark evident in her later films.
Following the release of Sex World, Parker quickly rose to fame in the adult film industry. She became a highly sought-after actress, popular among both fans and male actors such as John Leslie, Paul Thomas, Herschel Savage, Mike Ranger, Joey Silvera and Randy West.
Parker appeared in adult films from the late 1970s through most of the 1980s. She was renowned for her large natural breasts and was admired for being a more mature actress, participating in hardcore scenes in her late thirties, and for her distinctive dark pubic hair.
Parker’s most renowned role was as “Barbara Scott”, the incestuous mother, in the 1980 pornographic film, Taboo and its various sequels. In the original Taboo, she performs a sex scene with Mike Ranger, who portrays her son Paul. In her commentary on the film, Parker hinted at having a passionate affair with Ranger during the production, noting his reported 8 1/2-inch penis. In Taboo 2, Parker was involved in a scene with Kevin James, another well-endowed actor, who acted as a friend of Mike Ranger’s character from the first film.
The Taboo series garnered a dedicated fanbase, particularly among those who enjoy incest fantasies, as the films depict sexual encounters between siblings, fathers and daughters, and mothers and sons. Many male fans fantasised about Parker as a “mother” figure, and she developed a cult-like following, with fans discussing their fantasies about her in chat rooms.
In addition to her adult film career, she played a role in the Burt Reynolds movie, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982).
Parker continued the theme of a mature woman with a younger man in several softcore films, including Desert Winds (1995). Additionally, she appeared as herself in the 2005 independent film, Dick Ho: Asian Male Porn Star. This mockumentary, centred on a fictional legendary Asian porn actor, featured interviews with well-known adult film actresses from the 1970s who shared their “memories” of the star.
Autobiography
In 2001, Parker published her autobiography, Taboo: Sacred, Don’t Touch: An Autobiographical Journey Spanning Six Thousand Years. The book details her early life, her career in the adult film industry, and her metaphysical experiences. A revised edition, Taboo: Sacred Don’t Touch – The Revised Version, was released in 2016.
She also created a YouTube channel where she answered fans’ questions on various spiritual topics and provided guidance on spiritual exercises for personal growth. Additionally, she offered private spiritual counselling sessions via Skype. Parker’s transition from porn star to metaphysical counsellor is explored in the documentary A Taboo Identity.
