Her 2nd role, a year later, was her first starring role as Joanna Cole in the film ANIMAL INSTINCTS. And she had the ability to play either the innocent victim or the seductive villain both equally well.Ĭhecking her IMDB page, it looks like she got into acting a little later than usual, as her first official credit was a small role in the Steven Seagal film OUT FOR JUSTICE in 1991, when she would have been 27. You just took one look at her and fell in lust. Her sex appeal appeared to effortless, like she didn’t even have to try. She was drop-dead gorgeous with a beautiful face and a perfect body, with large natural breasts that hung just right. Shannon Whirry was one such stand-out of that decade. Back then, these films were taken a bit more seriously, as they’d have high production values, being filmed on locations, with effort being put into the storylines and, most importantly, stars who were hired as much for their ability to act as for their physical appearance and willingness to get nude on screen.
I’ve often said that the 1990’s was somewhat of a Golden Era of Softcore films, as cable television had become more popularized, and the VCR had become ubiquitous, so several studios were popping out high-quality erotic thrillers, or comedies, that you could rent on video or stay up late at night to catch on Cinemax or Showtime. If there was a Softcore Film Hall of Fame, Shannon Whirry would have to be in the first class of inductees (along with Shannon Tweed, Monique Parent, and Julie Strain, in my opinion).
