She entered the adult film industry in 1984, after her friend Ginger Lynn Allen (aka Ginger Lynn).
In 1992, Lynn dedicated her 28th birthday party at the Bel Age hotel in Beverly Hills, California to a benefit in honor of The Youth Aids Foundation of Los Angeles, an organization providing housing and assistance for helping runaways get off the streets and teenagers afflicted with HIV which was about to go under. An August 1992 issue of The Los Angeles Times quoted her statement on page two; "lets give them food clothing and shelter and we'll worry about role models later" alongside a shot of her holding a small infant girl, dressed in a formal gown. This was a breakthrough moment for how the adult industry was viewed by the mainstream concerning its crossover involvement in children's organizations, as never before had a children's organization knowingly accepted support from the adult entertainment industry.
