Zara Whites was born in Holland. Her Career began in Italy when she was19 years old and was a "showgirl" in a television program. Zara started to pose nude for magazines like Penthouse and Playboy Magazine. Between 1990 and 1992, she made over 50 films with the stars like top stud, Rocco Siffredi, on both sides of the Atlantic. But her career in the USA was what rocketed her to fame. She did attain the top tier status of the US porn scene, appearing on many box covers and receiving top billing in many features. Filmmakers cashed in on her incredible looks and her willingness to do whatever it took in front of the carnal cameras.

On her return in Europe, she continued her career in a way much less constant. A writer proposed to her to write her biography and Zara accepted. It was published & titled "My Life and My Phantasms", and was a huge best-seller across Europe.

During her career, she earned dozens of awards, and became a fan fave with both European & American audiences. To this day, she occasionally dabbles in hardcore, but mostly confines herself to the softcore market, while she, like many other European pornstresses that have crossed the ocean, has achieved a wide amount of notoriety & celebrity throughout Europe. She still commands huge salaries when she performs, be it on stage or in front of the cameras.
