Colleen Marie Applegate, known professionally as Shauna Grant (May 30, 1963 – March 23, 1984), was an American pornographic actress and nude model. She ran away from her small town in Minnesota and proceeded to appear in over 30 pornographic films, earning up to $100,000 in her two-year career. Grant died by suicide after the arrest of her partner in March 1984. She was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame in 1999. She was sometimes credited as Callie Aimes, Callie Aims, or Colleen Applegate. Early life Colleen Applegate was born in Bellflower, California. Her family moved to the small town of Farmington, Minnesota in 1973 when her father, Philip Applegate, took a managerial position with the Central Telephone Company of Minnesota. Colleen graduated from Farmington High School in 1981, where she had been a cheerleader. She stayed in the town, working first as a cashier and then as a repair clerk with the phone company. Applegate attempted suicide in December, 1981 by overdosing on prescription sinus pills. Her father later said he never discussed the suicide attempt with his daughter; he and his wife at the time (Colleen's mother, Karen Lee Applegate) believed their daughter was merely seeking attention. According to a PBS Frontline documentary, the entire Applegate family had at least one group session at a counseling center during which no one really talked about the situation. After news spread around Farmington about her suicide attempt, Applegate left town with her boyfriend, Mike Marcell, and moved to California in March, 1982. Adult film career After arriving in Los Angeles, Applegate and Marcell unsuccessfully pursued several employment leads. Marcell then saw an ad for the World Modeling Agency in Van Nuys, which sought recruits for "figure modeling". Accompanied by Marcell, Applegate visited the agency's owner, Jim South, who set up a photo session with legendary soft-core photographer J. Stephen Hicks. (Hicks' work was frequently featured in Penthouse.) Her first pictorial's theme featured a mock camping set and was published by Club. Hicks reflected on Applegate's appearance and personality, saying: "I deal with a lot of girls who are new in the business, a lot of young girls and a lot of girls from out of town. Colleen was so incredibly young and naive. She was completely un-hip and non-L.A." Her wholesome, "girl next door" looks soon landed her work posing for other magazines such as Chic, Hustler, Swank, and
