BIOGRAPHY

Actress. Born on March 10, 1957, in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. Known for years as a Playboy playmate and actress, Shannon Tweed opened up her life with her family to television audiences on the reality show Gene Simmons Family Jewels in 2006. She first captured the public’s attention as Playboy’s Miss November in 1981 and became the Playmate of the Year in 1982. Building on this success, Tweed began an acting career, landing a number of television and film roles.
Shannon Tweed made her feature film debut in 1982 with Hot Dog . . . The Movie. That same year, she played Diana Hunter on the prime time drama Falcon Crest and later appeared on the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives. Tweed found steady work during the 1980s and 1990s acting in a series of “B” movies, including Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989) and No Contest II (1998). In 2002, she played the mother of an aspiring musician in the short-lived series My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star.
For more than twenty years, Shannon Tweed has been in a relationship with rocker Gene Simmons—a “happily unmarried” couple as they have been quoted as saying. They have two children, Nick and Sophie. In 2006, the family stepped into the media spotlight with their own reality show Gene Simmons Family Jewels. While some critics were not impressed, audiences have enjoyed this inside look of the domestic life of a rock icon and a beautiful actress as they raise their teenage children and handle their business affairs. Not the average family, the couple got facelifts at the same time, which was featured in the show’s second season.
Along with being a mother and actress, Shannon Tweed has added writer to her list of accomplishments. In 2006, she shared her experiences in her autobiography, Kiss and Tell.

CAREER

After the Canadian wish-fulfillment TV series Thrill of a Lifetime arranged for her to pose for Hugh Hefner's Playboy, she was chosen to be the Playmate of the Month for the November 1981 issue and eventually the Playmate of the Year for 1982. Since then, Tweed has primarily acted in TV series such as the HBO comedy 1st and Ten, the prime-time soap opera Falcon Crest and guest appearances on Frasier, as well as B movies. Tweed also appeared in an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard in the seventh and final season. In 1985, she landed a role on Days of our Lives as Savannah Wilder, remaining with the show until 1987.
Her first major theatrical film appearance was in the teen sex comedy Hot Dog... The Movie in 1984. Since then, Tweed has appeared in over 60 films, including Detroit Rock City, produced by Gene Simmons in 1999.
She occasionally acts with her younger sister, Tracy, and has also appeared in Playboy photo spreads.
In 2006, Tweed authored an autobiography, Kiss and Tell, published by Phoenix Press
