Biography
Shannon Wilsey made a name for herself in low-budget films such as Invisible Maniac (1990) and Sorority House Massacre 2 (1990). Billing herself as Savannah or occasionally Silver Kane, Wilsey also appeared in such adult movies as Sinderella (1992). Wilsey shot herself on July 11, 1994.
A stunning natural blond, she is considered one of the most beautiful women to have ever appeared in adult films.
Two years after her death, her mother tried to sue Gregg Allman on the grounds that he led her daughter into the porn business. On the advice of her lawyer, she eventually dropped the suit.
At the time of her death she had just started production on a film called Pure Lust which was never completed. The only images from the film that exist were published in a 1992 obituary in GQ magazine.
Like most celebrities who die at a young age, Savannah has become more famous in death than she was in life. In the years following her death, demand for her films tripled.
Purchased the gun that killed her three weeks before her suicide. She told friends that she bought it because a stalker had tried to break into her home.
She was a heavy drug user, and during most of her career she was addicted to heroin. Her last boyfriend, Pauly Shore, told her that if she would give up heroin he would marry her. At the time of her death she had stopped using that drug but was still using cocaine.
Showed up to receive her AVN award in 1991 under the influence of drugs, slurring her acceptance speech. [Source: Archive footage from _Savannah: The E! True Hollywood Story (1999) (TV)_ ]
As her fame grew, she developed a reputation for being difficult to work with. She would show up late or not at all or show up under the influence. In 1992 Vivid Video fired her because her delays and absences were costing the company too much money.
