LEA DE MAE

Lea De Mae was a porn actress from the Czech Republic. She was born in Prague on December 26, 1976. De Mae was a member of the Czech high diving national team and injured her spine in an accident when training for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, diving from 10m platform. She recovered from her injury, but did not qualify for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Her problems persisted, so she retired from professional sports.  De Mae was later persuaded by a photographer to pose nude and eventually to participate in the adult film industry. De Mae was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer in July 2004. During her battle for life, fans from around the world and fellow porn actors supported a medical fund that had been set up for her in Prague, but she succumbed to the disease on 9 December 2004 at the age of 27.
