Shanna McCullough - born 4-1-60 - says a rise in product quality brought her out of retirement. She pairs up with Jamie Gillis in Vivid's BobbySox.

In her first time back before the cameras, Shanna did a girl-girl scene with Dru Berrymore and then took on three other girls and Dick Nasty.

During her retirement from features, Shanna stripped in clubs across North America.

In the early '90s she starred in Anthony Spinelli's Hands Off. "Lonely Shanna McCullough's life seems driven by angst, fear and bad dreams. Though she can have her choice of lovers, she's fascinated by a crank caller who makes love to her over the phone. Her fantasies, leading up to the eventual meeting with the caller, make up the moody, sensuous plot." (AVN)

Henri Pachard directed Hard Choices. "Here's a prime example of a May/December situation when Nick Random teams up with Shanna McCullough. Their subsequent exchange of vows provides the springboard for a shoot-the-bull reunion..." (AVN)

Shanna seizes the lead role in Rick Blaine's Hungry Heart. "A sumptuous, visual feast featuring fluid camerawork...as nasty and explicit as Private. Shanna is a frustrated dominatrix who maintains rigid control over her clientele but can't kindle a romance with pool boy Mark Davis." (AVN)

Shanna entered porn in 1983 after getting laid off from her job in San Francisco. When she got the lead in Deviations, Shanna decided to make a career out of porn, making 164 more flicks until her first retirement.

Deviations features three other newcomers - Adrienne Bellaire, Robin Everett and Connie Lindstrom as well as veteran Lili Marlene.

Shanna performs two hot scenes in Tight Fit, a thin story about bad guys who try to screw up the business of three designing women.

"Both male and female performers are better looking than when I entered," says Shanna. "And the females today are willing to do anything."

Bob Rimmer: "Many of us who watch porno develop illusions about its stars. I always thought that Shanna McCullough had an attractive body and...brains. Alas, you can't judge a book by its cover. In this sixty minute Shanna's Bondage Fantasy [1993], Shanna arrives at Jay Dee's office wanting "to know more about bondage." I hope her reason was that she needed $500. Jay Dee tells her that men are aroused by helpless women."

Jay Dee ties Shanna up in his dungeon, exposing her ass and tits while whipping her and threatening her with a cigarette lighter.

Pat Riley: "I was never impressed with Shanna - she's too big (height and frame) - but it's still sad to see that the years have taken their toll, not so much facially as in her thighs and belly. She's still curvaceous but it's now Rubenesque." (Guide 4)

In Shanna's Bondage Fantasy 2, McCullough gets stretched naked on a rack, shackled to a tee-bar, while Jay Dee drops hot wax on her, whips her ass and clips her nipples.

"...Shanna faints and the dirty devil Jay carries her off naked. Eventually tied up again, on top of his desk, he sucks her nipples, fondles her breasts, and fiddles under her covered crotch while she moans in ecstasy. Shanna's the helpless sexually available woman that raises male cockies." (Bob Rimmer, X-Rated Videotape Guide 4, p. 510)

A source: "Shanna McCullough is friendly but very professional. No hankey-pankey with her. She is in it strictly for the money. She's great on stage and has one of the most awesome bodies you've ever seen. For 36 she is one fine woman! She lives in L.A. with her actor boyfriend. Her clothing is very dark...in stark contrast to her fair skin and copper hair. She loves to tan and her tan lines make her that much more appealing on stage under the lights. To talk to her she seems like she would have been voted "Most likely to be an Egghead" in highschool...but on a closer analysis you can see a cross between a grunge rocker and the girl next door.
