Andrea Absolonová (26 December 1976 – 9 December 2004), better known by the pseudonym Lea De Mae, was a Czech diver and a member of the Czech high diving national team, later an adult model and pornographic actress. She died from brain cancer on 9 December 2004, at the age of 27.
Born in Czechoslovakia, Absolonová became a member of the Czech high diving national team, along with her younger sister Lucie (born 5 March 1979).[1] She injured her spine when she was 20 years old in an accident when training for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, diving from the 10m platform.[2] She recovered from her injury, but did not qualify for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Her problems persisted, so she retired from professional sports.[3]
Absolonová was later persuaded by a photographer to pose nude and eventually to participate in the adult film industry.[4][3]
As Lea De Mae, she appeared in over 80 adult films[citation needed]. She first appeared on American screens in a series of features for Private Media Group. She eventually returned to Europe, shooting more films, but after a short time returned to the United States.
De Mae was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer in July 2004.[5] Fans and fellow porn actors contributed to a medical fund set up for her in Prague, but she died on 9 December 2004 at the age of 27.[6]
The Body (Czech: Její tělo) is a Czech-Slovak film by documentary filmmaker Natália Císařovská. It is her debut feature film.[7] The film will be about Andrea Absolonová.[1] The film was supported by the State Cinematography Fund and the SK Audiovisual Fund.[8]
