It’s an established fact that Shannon Tweed is a Starfire Lounge VIP, thanks largely to her impressive body (of work) in a host of direct-to-video erotic thrillers. In this fan’s not-so-humble opinion, Shannon is the undisputed queen of that genre. Yes, she made a ton of DTV films, but it’s about quality over quantity, and Ms. Tweed was more than just a beautiful face and an absurdly hot body; she could actually act, too. Her appearance in any DTV schlockfest always elevated the proceedings.
Before she laid claim to the erotic thriller crown, Shannon was Playboy’s Playmate of the Year for 1982. Here are a few volcanic-lava-hot shots of the Tweedster from the eighties. Seriously, few sex symbols have ever been sexier than Shanon Tweed.
And here are a few shots from Shannon’s first erotic thriller, 1984’s The Surrogate.
