Shannon Bradley-Colleary

Shannon Bradley-Colleary left a promising career as a high-minded actress -- best known for dancing as a Suicide Blond for INXS and portraying of “Sorority Girl Two” in Revenge of the Nerds III --  to become a writer. (She also stopped coaching.)

Shannon’s film, To The Stars, with Malin Akerman, Tony Hale, Kara Hayward, Liana Liberato, premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and was released by Samuel Goldwyn in 2020. Her film, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, brought Heather Locklear back to the screen for Lifetime in 2021.

Shannon is also the author of five books, including: Smash, Crash & Burn: Tales from the Edge of Celebrity (with a requiem for former love, Brandon Lee). Shannon’s blog, The Woman Formerly Known As Beautiful, has been featured on The Today Show, CNN, NPR, HuffPo Live and been aggregated by The Oprah Magazine, The Huffington Post and London’s Mail Online where one commenter characterized Shannon to be “as shallow as a contact lens” -- a victory of sorts.
