Career

Shanna McCullough chose her stage name Shanna after the *e from her favorite romance novel, and McCullough because of her Irish ancestry.

After starting to work in adult movie, she also performed as a dancer in nightclubs. During a break from the business, she also worked as a stripper and went back to school to study zoology, with the aim of working in the animal health care field. In 1999, wired.com reported that Shanna was operating a website called ShannaCam giving members 24-hour access to multiple webcams installed in her home. As of March 2009, the website appears to have ceased operating. In March 2008, she walked the Los Angeles Marathon. Dave *mings has said Shanna was one of the actresses he most enjoyed working with.

In a 2014 interview with The Rialto Report, McCullough said she picked her stage name as it sounded like her grandmother's last name. She also professed to have had a fairly "normal upbringing" and that she did well in school. In the interview, she clarified how her name "McCullough" is pronounced ("-lough" should be articulated "-low" rather "-off"). She is of English, French, German, Irish, and Swiss descent.
