Career
Sheppard began studying ballet dancing at age 9 and went on to perform in Denmark, France and South Africa.[1]
In 1985, she released a 2-track record single in France entitled Action.[2][3]
Also while in France, she worked as a fashion model, modeling the fashions of Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Dior, and Jean-Paul Gaultier.[1]
She was Penthouse magazine's Pet of the Month for April 1988. In 2005, in The Erotic Thriller in Contemporary Cinema, Linda Ruth Williams cited Sheppard and Kira Reed as examples of actresses who worked "...in B-scale erotic thrillers at the fringes of Hollywood, the obvious trajectory for a strip-circuit veteran (DTV [direct-to-video] divas Kira Reed and Delia Sheppard both started as showgirls.)"[4]
Her acting roles include appearances in such movies as The Doors, Rocky V, Any Given Sunday, Mirror Images and Night Rhythms.[5]
In more recent years, Sheppard has worked as a showgirl in Las Vegas, performing in such shows as Splash and Showgirl Follies, Life in Feathers and Rhinestones.[6]
