One of the dreamiest pieces of porn puerility ever to appear in hardcore, Porn Star Shawnee Cates was the stuff that erotic dreams are made of. She sported an absolutely perfect body, lean and fit with perky medium-sized breasts. Her petite 5'0" frame weighed in at less than 100 pounds, which enabled Shawnee Cates to toss herself into all kinds of wild positions and such. Her face was stunningly pretty, an exotic mixture of oriental and occidental features that combined perfectly. Shawnee Cates exuded eroticism, plain and simple. Her exotic good looks won her all sorts of roles during her stint in the biz, from Asian concubine to Hispanic lust bunny to Native American nature girl.

Shawnee Cates was born on July 12, 1970 in Seoul, Korea. She came to the States at the age of 18 and soon afterwards started stripping professionally. Her friend Mimi Miyagi eventually convinced her to use her awesome good looks in porn, and she debuted in a handful of amateur videos during 1991. Within a year, Shawnee Cates decided to go for broke, moving into mainstream hardcore with a vivacious vengeance. She quickly became one of the busiest babes in the biz, appearing in over one hundred features in only a couple of years.

Shawnee Cates never got too many starring roles, but could always be counted on to steal the erotic show from her better-known co-stars. Her beauty was so overwhelming that you simply cannot take your eyes off her whenever she was on screen. Among her best flicks is 'Anal Cuties of Chinatown,' where Shawnee Cates joined T.T. Boy for a steamy opener, then hooked up with Marc Wallice in a hot one, before finally taking part in a white-hot group scene with Brooke Ashley, China Mai and Randy West.

In 'Driving Miss Daisy Crazy Again,' Shawnee Cates shined in a scintillating session with Mona Lisa and Sean Michaels. 'Raunch 4' found her in the clinch with Sean Michaels and Tianna Taylor, while in 'Committed,' she showed off her lust for Sapphic sizzle in a scene with Cassidy, Mona Lisaand Marissa Malibu. Shawnee Cates' back door boff with Mark Davis in 'Anal Ski Vacation' ranks as another heated highlight of her hardcore career.

Shawnee Cates retired from the biz in late 1993 to attend UCLA and concentrate on her strip career, but she provided some of the hottest moments in early 90s porn. With over 130 features in only a few years in front of the cameras, Shawnee Cates was also one of the most prolific sex starlets of her era.
