A common misconception is that Samantha's entry into the entertainment industry began with a Penthouse magazine pictorial in 1986. However, her entry into the industy was through Ron Jeremy, who first met her at an adult industry convention.

After entering the adult film industry at age 19, she was initially managed by John T. Bone. However, this relationship fractured and she made many exits and entrances during her two decade career, despite winning the 1987 AVN Award for "Best New Starlet". She first left the industry in 1987, later reentering as a contract girl for Vivid Entertainment, though there was a contract dispute stemming from her refusal to perform with Jeff Stryker, which resulted in her second departure. During this two year lull, she supported herself through exotic dancing until 1989.

After her third reentry into the industry, she had entered a relationship with Randy Spears, but this dissolved, resulting in a move to Las Vegas to be closer to friends and family.

In 1992, she starred in a few films, notably the adult film Sin City: The Movie. She departed the industry for a year and a half following filming. In December 1992, she married and gave birth to a child. She returned, filming Starbangers 5, for which she garnered a best actress award from Cannes, as well as awarded for best box cover and film. She would later be the center of attention for films of her own theme, entitled Samantha's Private Fantasies.

Latest information is that Samantha is currently retired and living in Nevada.
