Savannah Smiles

Shannon, I miss you so much. You were so fun, freaky, bitchy, stylish! 2 rooms in your house dedicated to clothes and shoes! The Laker games, making fun of people, and all the partying. Yesterday I looked at an acquaintance's pics. And in one pic you were emulated. It looked as beautiful as you. I believe she really respected you.

But since then, I've been up and down with feelings and memories. You were the one that introduced me to that world, your fellow actors, musicians, the whole LA scene. You also introduced me to my first death of a close friend.

It's going on 16 years since you took your life. You thought no one would love you anymore, that your face was all there was. It could've been fixed! You had the touring, and could've made a new video contract! The car crash just pushed the end of a downward spiral, it was not the reason. You WALKED home from it! You were still breathing after you shot yourself! Nancy told me the next day. I prayed to any God you would come out of that coma....but no one heard....

Shannon Michelle Wisley aka Silver, as I first knew her, then Savannah as an actress signed to Vivid, who viciously broke her contract and spread slander about her character, was a dear friend of mine from when I first moved to LA in 1990 to 1994 when she took her life after a car crash.
Purple was her favorite color, and Savannah Smiles was her favorite movie.

The lower pic is Shannon, the upper is Heather Joy's beautiful tribute, that brought me all the memories.
