Biography/Timeline

1952

Kandi Barbour was long believed to have been born Linda Jean Smith in either 1952 or 1956 in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, in part because of an online essay in the early days of the internet that was written in the first person and appeared to be factual but was mere fantasy. After her death, trying to find next-of-kin, it was revealed that she was born Kandie Lou Dotson in Russellville, Alabama in 1959. This revelation brought into question the legality of her earlier works, as Barbour would have began doing pornographic films at the age of 15 - after years of doing nude modeling. The adult industry, as a whole, is disputing the claim of her name and date of birth, and continues to sell her films and pictures. Some distributors have been selling titles stating that they were filmed after 1977, with some biography sites stating that she only became active after 1977 when she would have turned 18, even though they still have her listed with the debunked date of birth.
