Born in a small town in Missouri and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida, Sunset Thomas had a rough childhood that included an absent father and high school party lifestyle. She moved to Fort Lauderdale, where she was working as a waitress and "trophy girl" at the local NASCAR track when she met and fell in love with Zack Thomas. They were married five months after meeting, and soon after headed for L.A. to stake their claims on adult stardom. Sunset pursued straight film work for a time (landing roles in many "B" movies, including Witchcraft IV: The Virgin Heart (1992) (V)) before hitting porn screens in June 1991 in "America's Dirtiest Home Videos #04." Sunset took some time off from film work during her pregnancy, but came back soon with a vengeance. She starred in several amateur videos with him before moving on to bigger and better things. She divorced Thomas in 1993 and moved in with Dennis Hof, owner of a legal Nevada brothel called the Bunny Ranch, where she now works.
Zach and Sunset became friends quickly, and their friendship soon turned into love. Five months later, they got married and moved to Los Angeles, where both of them would find porn film fame, using the last name Thomas.
She shot her first adult film when she was eighteen, appearing in Mr. Peeper's 25th Anniversary alongside her husband and another man.[4] But she soon became a professional porn star and a favorite of director Michael Ninn, winner of the most Adult Video News awards, who made her the star of his epics Latex, Shock, Sex, and Sex 2.
Thomas had separated from her husband by the end of 2001 and, in 2002, established a friendship with talk-show host Howard Stern. That same year, she moved to Carson City, Nevada to begin offering her sex services for money at the famed Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel. She and Stern filmed the first of Stern's shows on February 21, 2002, and she has returned more than ten times since then. She was also featured on The O'Reilly Factor during that time.
2002 also saw Thomas speaking publicly about her sex life in an HBO documentary entitled Cathouse, and in 2003, she appeared in its sequel.
She spoke about her specific sexual needs in a rather graphic and open way, stating that she needs sex constantly. In later episodes, we learn that she left the Bunny Ranch to go to the Kit Kat Ranch for a variety of reasons. In February 2005, she announced that she no longer will be working as a prostitute. She has since opened strip clubs in Nevada and Arizona.
In 2005, Thomas was featured in the documentary Pornstar Pets and made an appearance on Maury, in which she encountered a crush from her middle school days. The episode was titled 'I Was An Ugly Teen... Now I'm a Hot, Sexy 10!'.
Thomas is the aunt of porn star Sunrise Adams, and during a visit by her niece convinced Adams to begin a career in adult films.
In 2006, Thomas obtained her own show on KSEX radio called "Sunset After Sunset" which airs every Thursday at 9:00pm (PST).
In 2007, she appeared on the Montel Williams Show with her fiancé/boyfriend, Kent, to discuss her porn career and being a mother.
On January 16, 2008, she appeared on the Tyra Banks Show with her husband, Kent, to discuss her sex addiction and desire to make one final adult film, despite promising him that she would discontinue her adult career after their marriage.
In June 2007, Thomas signed on with Vavoom Media.
