Biography:
Best known for her portrayal of Tammy in the 1978 porn classic "Debbie Does Dallas," Arcadia Lake appeared in dozens of XXX films between 1978 and 1984. Her aliases included Michelle Carter, Arcadia Blue, Arkadia, and Arcadia Small.
In the late '70s, Arcadia met porn star Eric Edwards, who had been working in porn since the late '60s. Eric fell for Arcadia and helped her through a detox from methadone. After a year she managed to overcome her addiction, at least temporarily. The two were married from 1980 to 1981, but the details of her marriage and much of her life are still unknown. Eric found Arcadia work in adult film once she was off methadone.
Biographies differ on the subject of Arcadia's first film, but it's generally agreed that "Summertime Blue" was her first major role, while her most famous was unquestionably "Debbie Does Dallas" in the same year. Often paired with Eric, she was known as the innocent teen who turns out to have incredible sexual skills, and her scenes showed a sexual diversity: anal, girl-on-girl, and her specialty, oral sex. Arcadia was a porcelain-skinned sex kitten whose career endured for six years and included such erotic classics as "Bella," "Honey Throat," and "Secrets of a Willing Wife."
Sadly, Arcadia quickly relapsed while working in porn and her marriage failed as a result, after only one year. Arcadia eventually left the adult industry and in 1990 died of an accidental overdose.
