French actress Zara Whites first began appearing in XXX movies in 1989 when she was 21 years old. But Whites' introduction to the world of sex and adult entertainment began long before she debuted in a hardcore scene. In her late teens, White worked as a barmaid while living with her boyfriend. When the relationship didn't work out, she moved out and began working as a prostitute in a men's club in order to support herself. But it wasn't just the money - White enjoyed pleasing men and she loved sex, so it was a perfect job for her. She later recalled, "I had nothing to lose and wanted to gain my independence and freedom. Within three months I was dancing, singing and prostituting myself in a private club in Amsterdam. The oldest profession in the world."
Dutch modeling agency Veronique then found White a job in Italy working as a topless dancer on the TV quiz show Colpo Grosso. She then worked as a call girl in Paris, and did photo shoots for men's magazines such as Penthouse, Playboy, and Hustler. In one photo shoot for Penthouse, White met porn star Rocco Siffredi, who advised her to try her luck in adult films. A few months later, White made her porn debut in the film The Challenge. Soon White was filming one scene after another, working for such directors as John Stagliano and Andrew Blake. A notable film from her early years is an anal scene in Buttman's Ultimate Workout opposite Rocco Siffredi. After a brief stint in XXX films, White decided to return to Paris in the early 90s.
White made a comeback in 1998, starring in the film La Dresseuse in a lesbian scene. She continued to work in the adult film industry for a few more years before retiring for good in 2001 with more than 70 titles to her credit. Over the course of her career, White worked with many impressive European and American production companies, such as VCA, Plum Productions, Evil Angel, Video Marc Dorcel, and many more. In addition to her early films, White appeared in a number of notable films over the years, such as Anal Nation 1 (Coast to Coast), Blue Angel (Essex Video / Electric Hollywood), Italian Inferno (Sascha Alexander Productions), Ready Willing And Anal (Odyssey), a lesbian performance in Entre femmes (Video Marc Dorcel), and a solo masturbation scene in Great White North 1 (VCA).
