Shannon Michelle Wilsey (October 9, 1970 – July 11, 1994), better known by her stage name , was an American pornographic film actress who starred in over 100 videos during her career. One of the most prominent Adult industry models of her time, she achieved notoriety within her short (1990–1994) career due to her onscreen presence and personal life. In January 2002, AVN ranked her at #19 on their list of the top 50 porn stars of all time.
Wilsey reportedly took her stage name from Savannah Smiles (1982), a movie she enjoyed. She died in 1994 in the hospital after a suicide attempt.
Wilsey was introduced to the adult film industry by actor and director Rex Cabo. She signed an exclusive contract with Vivid Entertainment in 1991 and became one of the earliest Vivid Girls. Wilsey began using drugs and spending large amounts of money, and she reportedly had severe financial troubles despite her substantial income. She also garnered a reputation for being temperamental, leading Vivid to sever its association with her in 1992.
