In Loving Memory of Savannah Wilsey (a.k.a.: Shannon Michelle Wilsey)

Born October 9, 1970 - Passed Away July 11, 1994

This memorial website was created in the memory of Savannah Wilsey , born in Mission Viejo, CA on October 9, 1970 and passed away on July 11, 1994 at 24 years of age.

Shannon Michelle Wilsey signed an exclusive contract with Vivid Entertainment in 1991 and gained fame rapidly. Savannah fell into the porn industry's stereotypical traps of drug use and excessive spending and reportedly had severe financial troubles despite her substantial income. She also garnered a reputation for being difficult to work with and egotistical, leading Vivid to sever its ties with the actress in 1992.

Her fondness for rock stars led her to become involved with several other well-known musicians including Vince Neil, Billy Idol, Slash, and Axl Rose. However, on more than one occasion she tended to desire a serious relationship, while her partners wanted only a "fling". This led her to heartbreak on more than one occasion.

Savannah became involved in a long-term lesbian relationship with fellow porn actress Jeanna Fine, and she later claimed to have fallen deeply in love with Fine. This relationship reportedly ended badly, and afterward, she had a long relationship with comedian Pauly Shore. Although she frequently came in contact with mainstream Hollywood, only Pauly Shore from that circle would be in attendance at her funeral.

She had a few roles in mainstream movies in the late 1980s but never managed to break into a starring role in the non-adult entertainment industry. Savannah frequently mentioned well-endowed porn actors; Peter North, T.T. Boy, and Buck Adams as her favorites to work with.

She was also known as Silver Cane, Silver Kane, Savanah, and Silver.
