Biography
About Sheila Kennedy
A former Penthouse model and actress, Sheila Kennedy made her mark in the early 1980s with a brief but memorable career. She was born on April 12, 1962, in Memphis, Tennessee, and holds American nationality. Her time in the spotlight spanned just two years, from 1981 to 1983, during which she appeared in low-budget sex comedies. With brown hair, brown eyes, and a slim build, she stands 5'8" tall and has natural breasts. Her measurements are 37–24–36, and she wears a 36C bra size.
Kennedy's claim to fame came early. At 19, she was named Penthouse Pet of the Month for December 1981, and two years later, she earned the title of Pet of the Year 1983. At just 18, she moved into the Penthouse Mansion in New York, where she lived for a decade. That experience later inspired her memoir, "No One's Pet," which delved into her time there and her interactions with the magazine's founder, Bob Guccione. Among her personal relationships, she counts actor Scott Baio as a former partner.
In a significant legal move, Kennedy filed a lawsuit against Axl Rose, lead singer of Guns 'N Roses, on November 22, 2023, alleging he sexually assaulted her in 1989. That case became a notable chapter in her post-modeling life. Today, she is remembered as a Penthouse icon of her era.
