Here’s how she describes herself (as Ona Dawes):
I am a second generation native of West Los Angeles and graduated from University High School.
I studied art and design and worked in merchandising for 15 years in management. When I went into the entertainment business, within 4 year started my own production company. Over the next 20 years, I developed a world-wide distribution and production motion picture company. I sold my company to a conglomerate and took the opportunity to move into real estate.
My father had been a real estate broker for 40 years in Los Angeles. I grew up around real estate transactions, looking at property, remodeling, and I have always been very interested in the artistic and architectural value of the amazing homes in Los Angeles.
Working with Coldwell Banker is a wonderful opportunity for me to combine my creative and business skills with a company who has been here providing the best customer service possible.
It is my privilege and honor to serve you. I look forward to the opportunity.
Fred emails:
I Googled Ona Dawes. No mention of her prior career.
Query why she mentions her "entertainment business" on the real estate website. If I saw that, even if I didn’t know who Ona Zee was, I’d be curious and ask questions. It’s like opening a can of worms, unless you don’t mind it becoming known.
I also wonder of Coldwell Banker knows about her prior career.
I also wonder whether she is trying to have it both ways, trading on her notoriety in the real estate business without blatantly advertising it to those who may not know her.
Anyway, she looks reasonably business-like in her photograph. I suppose I have no reason to believe that she’d be any better or any worse than any other real estate agent.
Here’s the URL that popped up when I did a search of California licensed real estate brokers under her name.
It says "no disciplinary action." Any bondage action?
Query what services she would be willing to provide to close a sale.
I remember when I found out ex-Vivid girl Raylene was selling real estate and had a public access TV show for that purpose. I called Raylene. She pled with me not to report on what she was doing. She didn’t want to be bothered by stalkers. I abided by her request.
Two days later, there’s a story on AVN.com about her new career. Raylene had given them a friendly interview.
I wonder if Ona’s still working as an escort.
I loved Ona Zee way back when. As I recall, she did anal, DP and facials when those things were unique and somewhat taboo. Good luck to her!
I too remember OnaZee. Her story lays to rest the idea that most veterans of the industry become “streetwalkers”. We wish much success to Ona and her Real Estate brokerage.

If I was buying or selling a house, I’d rather work with an ex-pornstar than the usual pushy immigrant w/ leased Mercedes-Benz.
There is a fairy large number of exporn stars selling real state. Well, they used to sell themselves.
Ona Zee always seemed that she was in porn because she loved it but she also said that porn was not for everyone. Good for her.
