Career

Shannon Michelle Wilsey began with magazine work before signing with Vivid Entertainment in 1991 as one of the original Vivid Girls, quickly becoming one of the most prominent stars of the early 1990s. Her contract ended in 1993 amid personal difficulties, and she died by suicide in July 1994 following a car accident, days before her twenty-fourth birthday.

Signature: The original Vivid Girl contract model was built around her, and her death at twenty-three remains the industry’s most-cited warning about what that model cost.
