...success for these four women look better than those of their predecessor. Three of them have Citadel family ties, and all four hope to avoid the extraordinary glare of the spotlight that contributed to Faulkner's demise. As Robert Black, who served as a lawyer for Faulkner, puts it, "Shannon always, always wanted to please the Citadel. But in order to get into the school, she had to go to court. It was a cruel situation." Seventeen-year-old Kim Messer's father is an Army veteran, and her elder brother attended the Citadel before leaving for medical reasons...
Their arrival brings closure to a difficult chapter in the life of Shannon Faulkner, who, after holding a number of jobs in the last year, plans to return to school. This fall she will enter Furman University, in Greenville, South Carolina, as a junior English major. And while she still gets stares in public, she also gets accolades.

But as the co-owner of Royal Oaks Entertainment, which produces a dozen or so action-adventure titles a year for the foreign market, he's pleased...
...after release on video), but DTVs offer a few nostalgic pleasures. They are made by clever craftsmen who for next to nothing provide professional gloss and a story no worse than most movies and TV shows. And if you're looking for strong B-movie stars, look no further. Shannon Tweed brings a sensible, almost schoolteacherish seriousness to her roles. Delia Sheppard (Mirror Images), who has retired from DTV to star in the Las Vegas extravaganza Splash, excelled as a naughty Brit on a Hollywood bender.
