Penthouse Pet of the Month, August 1983

Shana Ross Bio

July 16, 1962 / Cancer / Age 63

Shana Ross is an American-born Penthouse model, glamour and adult model, born on July 16, 1962 in Tracy, California, United States. Throughout her modeling career, she has also appeared under the names Crystal Lovin or Shawn Davis, each marking a distinct chapter in her evolving on-camera persona.

Shana Ross was crowned Penthouse Pet of the Month in August 1983, stepping into the spotlight at just 21 years old. With her statuesque 35-24-34 figure, seductive blue eyes, honey blond hair, and natural breasts, Shana carries a new sense of confidence, blending youthful softness with a teasing, self-assured edge.

Photographed by Earl Miller, Shana’s pictorial captured her luminous platinum look and calm confidence. Miller’s photography emphasized elegance and natural charisma, framing her as both soft and strong — a woman who could command attention even in stillness. At twenty-one, she projected a timeless appeal reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour, yet her attitude remained modern and grounded.

Her name itself carried meaning — “Shana,” which means “beautiful” in Yiddish — and beauty had followed her from the beginning. Growing up surrounded by older brothers, she developed a spirited, adventurous side that shaped her into something of a tomboy. Water-skiing, hang-gliding, and tennis were just a few of the activities she loved, reflecting an energy that contrasted with her refined appearance.

Shana’s career began early. As a child she appeared in television commercials, including campaigns for major brands, gaining firsthand experience with fame long before adulthood. Rather than becoming consumed by glamour, those early experiences made her thoughtful about identity and privacy. She modeled only part-time, preferring to keep space in her life for meaningful pursuits beyond the camera.

One of those pursuits was counseling work at a hospital — something she described as a way to open her heart and balance creativity with compassion. She valued inner growth as much as outer beauty, believing that personal development mattered more than appearances alone.

In her personal life, Shana described herself as deeply committed, having found lasting love at a young age. Her outlook reflected maturity and self-awareness, blending romantic loyalty with a playful appreciation for the excitement that modeling brought into her world.

Her August 1983 pictorial captured all of those contrasts: elegance and athleticism, softness and strength, glamour and authenticity. She appeared not as a fantasy figure, but as a woman fully aware of who she was — and comfortable with every part of it.
