Biography
Céline Bara was born in Antony and grew up in banlieues of Paris. She married Cyrille Bara in 1998[3] and started to perform in pornographic films. After her nomination for Best New French Starlet Hot d'Or in 2000,[4] she was featured in various TV programmes including Sans aucun doute.[5]
In 2002, Céline Bara and her husband were condemned to four years of imprisonment with two years suspension for a violent incident involving porn actor and producer HPG (Hervé-Pierre Gustave).[6] Bara is an ardent atheist and prides herself in being heavily anti-religious, often disparaging religion and perceived religious values and morals in Libertine fashion. In 2005, Bara became the secretary-treasurer of the atheist organisation Athéus,[2] founded by the couple after their release from prison and replaced by O.R.A. (Radical Atheist Organisation) in 2006.[7] She is also the co-president of the only French lesbian pornographic film studio Céline Bara Studio since 2007.[2]
Her autobiography La Sodomite (ISBN 978-2-9530330-0-7), co-authored with Cyrille Bara, was published in 2008. In 2011, Céline Bara was portrayed as the heroine in the adult manga Barasutra illustrated by Cyrille Bara, which features BDSM themes.[8]
