Biography

Céline Bara was born in Antony and grew up in banlieues of Paris. She married Cyrille Bara in 1998 and started to perform in pornographic films. After her nomination for Best New French Starlet Hot d'Or in 2000, she was featured in various TV programmes including Sans aucun doute.

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). 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, founded by the couple after their release from prison and replaced by O.R.A. (Radical Atheist Organisation) in 2006. She is also the co-president of the only French lesbian pornographic film studio Céline Bara Studio since 2007.

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.
