Went to High School in Green Lake, Wisconsin.
Attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, NY, in the mid 1980s.
Living in Cave Creek, Arizona, and performing with Nearly Naked Theatre on stage in Phoenix. [January 2008]
Born on exactly the same date as Dana Plato (of "Diff'rent Strokes" fame).
[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel interview, Febraury 1998] If a part called for any type of nudity, I would at least make sure that the woman was smart and powerful. The roles that have required nudity have either been good or interesting, or they have presented me with an opportunity to work with actors I respect. I've never just whipped off my top and run down a hallway.
[people seeing her naked] If you think my body is so spectacular, then good for you and that flatters me. I'm not embarrassed by my body.
[sex scenes and nudity] The nudity never bothered me because the more you think about love scenes, the more they'll bother you and the more they'll make you nervous. You have to realize that it has nothing to do with you personally. Actually, it only has everything to do with your character.

Shannon Whirry is not just a talented actress with girl-next-door looks, she captured a generation of men's (and teenage boys'!) imaginations by wishing that she actually was the girl-next-door. Born in Green Lake County, Wisconsin, Whirry graduated from high school and packed her bags for New York. She trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts during the 1980s and began her career in Off-Broadway productions as well as appearances on 'Saturday Night Live' and the popular daytime soap 'One Life to Live'. When Steven Seagal came to town during the casting for his 1991 movie Out for Justice (1991), Whirry won the role of Terry Malloy, a cocktail waitress. She left for LA. Following this small role, she auditioned for and won the part of Joanna Coles in the erotic thriller Animal Instincts (1992). Directed by Gregory Dark , the movie capitalized on the direct-to-video market and the popularity of steamy movies in the early 1990s. Animal Instincts (1992) revolved around a couple's bid to spice up their marriage through voyeuristic sexual adventures. The film was a hit. Over the following years, Whirry worked with Gregory Dark on more films in the same vein. Animal Instincts II (1994) and Body of Influence (1993) are well known. She also appeared in Exit (1996), Ringer (1996), Mirror Images II (1993), and Private Obsession (1995) among others. She was, and still is, regarded as an icon of the erotic thriller genre. Debate continues as to whether one prefers Shannon Whirry or Shannon Tweed . In the mid-90s, Whirry broke away from the confines of the genre, and appeared in movies with more focus on action and adventure, as well as appearing in numerous TV shows in guest spots. TV roles have included Murder One (1995), Nash Bridges (1996), Девушки с характером (1998), and ER (1994). Whirry was also a regular on the TV show Mike Hammer, Private Eye (1997). Despite some Hollywood attention and a variety of roles (including a cameo in the Jim Carrey vehicle Me, Myself & Irene (2000)) Whirry felt that roles were drying up in LA, where the focus was, and remains, on youth. She left LA in 2004. These days, Shannon Whirry lives in the Phoenix area of Arizona. She can be seen in challenging roles on the stage with iTheatre Collaborative or Nearly Naked Theatre. Her stage roles have garnered her much acclaim. Small roles continue in front of the camera, mostly filmed locally. She also has appeared in TV commercials. In May 2009, Whirry appeared in "Bug" at the Herberger Theatre Center in Phoenix. More recently she has appeared in 'Raising Buchanan' in a supporting role. Whilst fans are sure to be pleased that her career is continuing and flourishing, some surely wouldn't mind another Animal Instincts (1992) sequel.
