Adult Actress

The Resume

    (May 30, 1963-March 21, 1984)
    Born in Bellflower, California
    American porn actress
    Born in California and raised in Minnesota, moved back to California with her boyfriend to break into movies, but turned to porn after their money ran out
    Became addicted to cocaine while in the industry
    Committed suicide at age twenty
    Real name: Colleen Marie Applegate
    Subject of the TV movie, 'Shattered Innocence' and the documentaries, 'Death of a Porn Queen' and 'Feeding on Shauna Grant'

Why she might be annoying:

    She came from a comfortable middle class background and didn't suffer the abuse growing up that drive many women to porn and/or prostitution.
    No one forced her to start using drugs.
    Her 'boyfriend' when she committed suicide was her jailed drug dealer.
    Her porn scenes were passionless.
    She quickly got a reputation in the industry for being unreliable due to her drug use.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She made her first suicide attempt a few months after graduating high school.
    Her suicide attempts and substance abuse problems were almost certainly due to undiagnosed depression with her life in porn magnifying the problem.
    No one from the adult industry attended her funeral, offered to help with sending her body back to Minnesota, pay for her funeral, or sent condolences to her family.
    The boyfriend who she moved to California with left her after two months and told her friends and family about her porn work.
    Her parents had to sell her story for the TV movie 'Shattered Innocence' to pay for her tombstone.
    She was a popular cheerleader and good student in high school.
    She was flawlessly beautiful.
    Her tragic story serves as a cautionary tale of what the porn industry can do to people in it.
