Hundley adopted the screen name Seka, after a female blackjack dealer in Vegas whom she knew.She became a star just as porn was making the transition from film to video. Seka's first performance was in the 1978 movie Dracula Sucks (a.k.a. Lust At First Bite or Blonde Fire), when she starred opposite John C. Holmes. Seka appeared in 24 films in 1980 alone, and another 37 in 1981, the most important and prolific years of her career. They were capped by a messy divorce from Yontz in 1980. Seka's on-screen sexual performances included lesbian, anal sex, double penetration, and use of sex toys such as vibrators, dildoes and strap-ons. She was also known for sometimes shaving her pubic hair, some 15 to 20 years before the practice became common among American porn stars. Jamie Gillis, who performed with Seka in numerous films, believed that she was "a bit above porn" describing her as a "white trash queen".Seka was also known in the adult industry as "The Platinum Princess",and on the box cover of her film Inside Seka (1980) she is referred to as "the Marilyn Monroe of porn", a quote taken from High Society Magazine.Of her fellow performers, Seka lists her favorite male screen partners as John C. Holmes, Mike Ranger, Paul Thomas and Jamie Gillis.In terms of women, she rates her favorite as Veronica Hart, who is quoted as saying "as long as I have a face, Seka has a place to sit".Seka also lists Aunt Peg, Kay Parker and Candida Royalle as favorite female screen partners.

By the early-1980s Seka had become arguably the number one female porn star of all time. After 1982, at the height of her fame, she took a step back from her film career, claiming "they wouldn't pay her what she wanted",and turned to stripping and nude modeling while running her own lucrative fan club. Subsequently, she also admitted that the HIV epidemic in the mid-1980s contributed to her staying away from the hardcore sex scene, "that's why I don't make movies any more...I like to live."By the early '90s, she had returned to the porn industry to perform in a few final movies, her last being "American Garter" - despite being only 40, she was nearly unrecognizable from her earlier appearance, having gained weight and showing considerable sun damage to her skin. She later stated that staying in shape for porn was difficult as "she liked to eat".

In 1997, Seka hosted a radio talk show in Chicago called Let's Talk About Sex on Saturday Nights from 10pm-2am on 97.9FM, The Loop. Five years later, she was the focus of the documentary film Desperately Seeking Seka. The premise finds Swedish filmmakers Christian Hallman and Magnus Paulsson on a quest to find the porn legend and ask for an interview. Since its completion, the film toured the international film festival circuit and became available on DVD. In 2005, Seka moved from Chicago to Kansas City, operating her fan club through her own website. In February 2007, she gave an interview with the Kansas City-based alternative weekly newspaper The Pitch, where she stated she had just shot her first hardcore scene in nearly 15 years, available as on-line pay per view. Seka, arguably, is considered a female pioneer in the adult film industry, and one of few female adult film stars of her era that believed her career was something to be proud of. Seka was professionally demanding as a female artist in a man's business world, which also gained her much respect, and no doubt helped with her great achievements in the industry sector, aside from her screen appeal and great beauty.
