Everybody is talking about sylvia saint , jessa jameson etc these days. But i have seen that Savannah in a movie , she had a great beauty . I don't see her movies or pictures on the net . Where are those Stars? (Seka for example or maybe that Teresa Orlowsky)
I remember when I read that she died. I was real sad and can't watch her in any movies. Maybe that's stupid or whatever, but she seemed like such a neat person despite the fact her unhappiness affected her attitude so much. She will always be one of the most beautiful girls in my eyes and heart. Sometimes I wonder if someone close to her would have tried harder, maybe some of the pigs that threw her to the curb are to blame.
2dvd: I seem to remember reading at the time that prior to her death, that she was involved in a car accident. Because of this, there was reported some damage to her face which disfigured it slightly (and would require some reconstructive surgery to fix). It was reported at the time, she was trying to leave the adult industry and like some of her contemporaries, was trying to break in to mainstream acting. The accident put paid to her immediate plans, and amid reports of depression, she committed suicide.
There is probably a lot more to this and this is just a simplified version, from what I can remember. Some of my details may be wrong. There are other reports that she was taking drugs in the period (years?) prior to her death and this may have been another contributory factor.
Some of the other posters may be able to shed more light on the subject. I like to remember from the movies of hers, that I've seen (even though she is supposed to have beenvery blase/uninterested while acting in some of those titles she performed in, as far as I remember reading).

Additional:
I have just read some of the AVN report listed on RAME (http://www.rame.net/faq/deadporn/savannah.html) and I got some details wrong. Read the full report there and get a better picture of what happened -- she was afraid the crash (and a broken nose) would stop her from a dancing job later that day -- and judge for yourself.
E Channel did an excellent piece oh her that came out about a year ago and it documented her life pretty good and it was so sad to see what happened to her. She seemed so insecure and a lot of the people around her did her a disservice by not trying to help more,some probably did but not hard enough or long enough. What Duane Allman did to her was pathetic and he should be ahamed of himself being so much older than her and taking such advantage of a girl was horrible. I know she seemed to have a bitchy attitude a lot but that was probably to cover up for her insecurities. Anyway this program was rather well done and if it comes on again or you can find a copy to view then this will give you a good representation of the Savannah story. Her real name by the way in case you didn't know was Shannon. I didn't watch her movies for a long time after she died and I only have one now and it features one of the few facials she ever did and she looks so great in that scene.
