Career
Hunter began working in adult entertainment as a dancer at the Latin Quarter in New York City. It was there that she met actress Hyapatia Lee, who suggested she perform in movies. Hunter made her porn debut in 1988, appearing in the film Heather Hunter On Fire. She went on to have a successful career that peaked in the mid 90s, becoming known for her interracial and lesbian themed scenes. Over the course of her career, Hunter worked with many of the industry's finest production companies, including Vivid, Hustler Video, Legend Video, Global Media International, and a few others. Hunter worked in the industry until 2004, retiring with about 70 titles to her credit.
Notable Films and Contracts
Hunter first performed in a few low-budget movies for New York-based Vidway before moving to Los Angeles and eventually becoming the first African-American woman to be a Vivid Entertainment contract girl. Notable films for Hunter include Bad Girls 10: In the Cage (Vivid), Brat Pack (Global Media), Coming on America (Vidway), Down 4 Bizness (Global Media International), Even More Women Without Men (Video-X-Pix), and Maxed Out 3 (Legend Video).

In 2004, she and Ginger Lynn appeared in non-sex roles in Hustler Videos' Can You Be A Pornstar?
Life After Porn
Music and entertainment has always been a part of Hunter's life. As a child she volunteered with the Lou Rawls Parade of Stars with her mother who worked for the United Negro College Fund. But in her teenage years, she became no stranger to the streets of Harlem and Brooklyn. She formed a group called, The Sweetness Group, and played local shows and even had some studio time- this ignited her dreams of a career in the music industry. Hunter was also a gifted graffiti artist. She was picked up off the streets to make more of her life and fell into Keith Haring's art program for troubled kids and runaways. Haring's strong influence, in part, helped channel Heather's creativity, and style. As a result, she now boasts an impressive art studio in Brooklyn where she creates top selling sensual/pop-art to high net worth individuals and celebrities. A living testament, Hunter has used her rough times in childhood as fuel to her unwavering ambition for success as she comes into her own as an up-and-coming hip-hop sensation with her debut CD.
