First, reading the posts here reminds me how much the community of ADT is a dignified, intelligent, compassionate one, and I congratulate everyone for it.
I share the greif of everyone here... I learned everything on one day, about 24 hours ago... I read on a France-based forum that she was sick and finally read the final sad news seconds later, simply scrolling down to more recent posts... it therefore hit me in a brutal way... I was hoping that she was getting better halfway through the text...
I have been a huge fan of this remarkable actress and I wish I could hold her in my arms to console her (as well as her loved ones). I would like to ask the people who knew her to tell here about the other facets of this human being. Her beauty was spectacular, but I am sure that many other things made her special, and I'd like to see her be celebrated for all that she was. Thanks.
I didn't know Lea personally but I feel that I've come to know her through her work and her death has been very heartbreaking for me. Any time someone so young and beautiful as she was is cut down in the prime of their life, its simply a tragedy beyond words. Its hard to believe that Lea is really gone, but at least she is no longer suffering as she was before her passing. I'm not the kind of person that easily sheds tears but after hearing of her death I actually cried. I wept not only because she left us too soon but for what she went thru the last few months of her life. I know many from around the globe will miss her tremendously and always will but I think she would want us to remember her the way she was: a stunningly beautiful young woman who enjoyed living life to the fullest and sharing her sexuality with us. And for that, thank you Lea.

I have amassed more than nine years worth of CPU time in this project, and can attest to the fact that it operates in the background, and does not disrupt whatever else you are doing.

Judging the replies, she must have been well-admired. I've never met her, but someone who can create such a feeling in a large group must have been a wonderful person.Thus, It's no more logical that I also give my respects.
(from CSS) A message from Silvia Saint, friend and co-star of Lea De Mae. 9th December 2004.
Please let me pay tribute to LEA DE MAE (Andrea Absolonova) memory. She left us after long illness this afternoon. It was big shock for everybody. We will remember her...she was great person and mainly, great friend. Please keep the remembrance of her in your mind ... Silvia

Hello everybody. I am greeting you all again. How are you doing? And what do you think about my new material? How do you like it? I am checking photo from Barcelona today, so you have what to looking for... It really worth for it ;-))
I am writing today-news because I want to help to my friend and colleague Lea De Mae, who undergo severe operation of brain tumor that has been taken away. Her cure and therapy will take a long time so she will need lot mental but also financial help. You can get to know more on my page in introduction.
Yesterday I had chance to visit her with my old agent and friend Oldrich Widman. You have no idea how happy she was when I could hug her and talk to her. I also have to say thanks to you from her, for thinking about her. You know...I will not describe you all details, because it is unbecoming, but yesterday meant a lot to me.
I enjoyed with Lea De Mae lot of fun in work, but also in free time. We traveled a lot and visited a lot of beautiful places in the world. (Brazil, USA) I remember our first joint work.... She laugh all the time to something, but she was also ashamed. Producer asked us all the time to be little bit more serious otherwise we would never finish that scene.... if I should remember everything what we saw, I could sit before my PC till the Christmas ;-)) She is amazing girl and friend in the same time, so please keep your fingers crossed for soon recovering of her health. Thank you.
With love Your Silvia Saint

Hello everybody. At the weekend I was with my friend (and model) Angel Dark and with our common friend (and actor) Andrea Moranty. We were on erotic fair in Berlin. We have never been there so it was for the first time. The fair was 10times bigger than in Barcelona (Luck that we had good accompaniment otherwise we would get lost for sure :-) There were a lot of erotic shows, but also different talk shows and I also met a lot of well known people from our business mainly from America but also from Europe.
During this occasion we also could present film Fetish Desires from firm Dreamentertaiment, that Angel and me made this summer. Either you can see some scenes from the movie on my page or you can buy the movie. Fans were great, atmosphere also and of course there was a lot of different parties... it was absolutely great!!! But what pleased us most? That a lot of people asked about Andrea (Lea De Mae) all of them say hi to her and wish her soon recovery. Everybody like her a lot and think about her. Of course that photo from fest will be soon on my page + delayed material from Barcelona. Have a nice time.
r.i.p, Andrea. My thoughts go to her family and friends. She will live on in our hearts and minds.
What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs, And stare as long as sheep and cows No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began? A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.
If Lea knew how many people around the world are deeply affected by her sudden death, she wouldn't believe it or she would cry tears of joy without end. She was longing for love, but didn't believe she's worth it and unfortunately rarely found it.
Lea liked to party. She told me she can't dance very good but likes to dance very much. Lucie and Lea's closest friends are sure that Lea, if she had known she would die, would like us to arrange a party for her. And so we do.
Whoever wants to come to Prague for Lea's funeral is invited. After the celebration we want to have a party for Lea. I can't give you more details right now, since we still are organizing it.
Of course, those of you who will not be able to join us physically, may hopefully join us via the internet. If possible, we want to create a chatroom for you, maybe with webcams. Monica Sweetheart will be there, and I think Daniela Rush, Silvia Saint and many more. The time is short, so please help spread these news around the world to all the fans of Lea. She would appreciate, I'm sure, if you don't forget to have a bottle of white wine with you and/or some Vodka. This is what she liked to drink.
Stay tuned - we keep you in informed.
By the way: if you think you can help us somehow with the chatroom and the integration of webcams, let us know.

LEA DE MAE TRIBUTE PARTY PRAGUE DECEMBER 16, 2004 (Thursday)
RESTAURANT STRELECKY OSTROV 336 PRAGUE 1
FROM 16.00 OCLOCK (4pm)
(the above message was just received from Oldrich Widman in Prague - all Lea's fans and friends are invited!)
Cheers!
ADDENDUM: In view of the posting below from DBM, I have e-mailed Chris Danneffel, Oldrich and other friends of Lea to say that how I read Chris's invitation was that we are being invited to attend the celebration of Lea's life party, etc after the funeral. Chris asked us to bring white wine, etc. There was an open invitation as I saw it.
If I am wrong about this however and misunderstood Chris's text (set out on here), I apologise. I did not intend that people would travel hundreds of miles - only to be turned away! and I doubt if Lea would have wanted this. As I have written, I have received no specific invitation myself other than what I read on Chris's site.
I trust clarification comes from Chris and Oldrich in time for those who would have liked to celebrate at "Lea's party"

I wish I could be there in person but since I can't I will be there in spirit for Lea.
The invitation extended by Chris Danneffel on the www.pics-and-models.co Lea De Mae page reads as under,...
"Let's have a party - for Lea!"
If Lea knew how many people around the world are deeply affected by her sudden death, she wouldn't believe it or she would cry tears of joy without end. She was longing for love, but didn't believe she's worth it and unfortunately rarely found it.

Let's have a party - for Lea! pt. 2"
The funeral starts at 14h. The party for Lea will take place in the evening on a little island on the river Vltava in the centre of Prague (Strelecky Ostrov).
Unfortunately we don't have internet connection there. We try a solution with mobile phone. If somebody in Prague reads this and thinks he can help us out with (1) Notebook (2) Mobile with internet support (3) Webcam (4) technical Know How - let me know. My mobile number is 737-704407.
Chris - Prague, Czech Republic, 14th December 2004
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Comment from Victor: As I read this, people travelling to Prague were being invited to attend the services and celebration party for Lea.
I did e-mail Chris, Oldrich Widman, Monica and Silvia the entire postings from ADT and CSS many hours ago, but heard nothing from them so far along the lines of the negative DBM comment above.
If people are flying over to the Czech Republic to attend, it would be rather strange to exclude them from the post-service celebrations, if this is the intention? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am sending this again to Chris and Oldrich for clarification, as I even received an e-mail from one ADT member saying that he was wanting to travel over from France to Prague.
NB. I have received no specific invitation myself. I thought Chris's invitation was good enough!
Addendum: I have e-mailed all of the above postings to Chris, Oldrich, Monica and Silvia Saint and asked if Chris or Oldrich would personally clarify the matter.
I just noticed that Chris says in his web posting "The time is short, so please help spread these news around the world to all the fans of Lea. She would appreciate, I'm sure, if you don't forget to have a bottle of white wine with you and/or some Vodka. This is what she liked to drink." So this coupled with the previous invitation, which I put in bold, led me to think that we are being invited to attend and bring wine to the party, etc.
I even wrote happily to Oldrich on Silvia's Site asking if he would have some of the many music selections played that I sent to Lea (but she was too ill to play or watch them) at the party and I would then feel as if I was there myself.
I wonder why no one else, other than Jewel, from the adult film industry has expressed their sympathy here. Most of us fans never met Lea in real life but cared enough to drop couple of lines in her memory, but when it comes to people who have worked with her on films there is no voice.
Well Monica Sweetheart, Silvia Saint and Daniella Rush were Lea's friends and are mourning her loss but unfortunately they are not members of ADT and as such can't directly relate their feelings here at the forum. And since Lea was from the Czech Republic and spent most of her time there, she prolly didn't have very many close friends in the adult industry here in the US. But I do agree it would have been nice to see a few more offer their condolences for one of their fallen colleagues.
i am not into european girls but i have heared about her, shes widely respected amongst fans. i feel bad for anyone who dies young of cancer. so my sympathies for her family and friends. ha man it makes me re live my tragedies :(
I love gapes and myself very much ! 861 Posts 8/03

What is sure is that everybody who knew Lea were very respectful towards her ,there is no coincidence ,she was not only pretty,she was also an adorable person ! She is an example for all of us ! If only i could meet a girl like her !
I have received a reply from Chris Danneffel in Prague today who has spoken to Lucie Absolonova "The Boss" (as Chris describes her).
I was right the first time, - Lucie welcomes those who wish to come along.
Chris suggests younger fans come a little later as older folks will be there early on.
I have no desire to encourage more of these sour postings from DBM and in fact, I have been receiving more directly from the same quarter, the contents of which I find very offensive, so I will be making this my last post in this topic.
Thank you to all who tried to help Lea including stars Katja Kassin (the first female star to send a donation to Lea) and Terri Summers and others who are listed on Chris's Site. From the moment I heard about Lea's plight, I devoted almost every day and night for many weeks in trying to spread the news and gain support for her. I hope that this may have encouraged Lea a little, at least up to the time before she became really poorly because of the fluid build-up.
Farewell and thanks!
Chris's message today is set out below,...
----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Danneffel To: varme3 Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 2:23 PM Subject: Re: Please clarify
Dear Victor,
unfortunately I have no time to read all the postings. I'm on the net only for a few minutes because of the update. I don't know about Dennis. I spoke to Lucie, she's the "Boss". She says, we invite everybody who wants to come. It's open to everyone who feels attached. I personally would invite younger people a little later to the party, because as of 16h there are many elderly people as well. White wine and Vodka was my proposal for the people who have to stay at home on the internet.
Don't worry too much - the waves will calm down after everything is over.
