Megan Leigh (March 2, 1964 – June 16, 1990) was an American stripteaser and star of adult videos.[1]
Early life
Leigh (née Michelle Maira Schei) was born in California.[1] She ran away from home for the first time at age 14[citation needed], and, by age 16, she was working at a Guam massage parlor.[3]
Career
At 18 years-old, she began dancing nude at the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater in San Francisco.[1] Although O'Farrell's management considered her little more than a passably pretty bleached blonde with little dancing talent, she became popular as house dancer "Eve" and made a few thousand dollars per month in tips, which she reportedly spent mainly on drugs.[citation needed] In late 1986, she stopped working at the O'Farrell Theatre and underwent a "makeover" (i.e., detoxification and cosmetic surgery), reemerging as "Megan Leigh".[citation needed]
In the summer of 1987, she starred in Secrets Behind the Green Door with Marilyn Chambers.[4] Leigh became known for her ability to deep-throat her partners, and earned a starring role in Deep Throat III (1989).[4] When not starring in videos, she made many public appearances, including a return to the O'Farrell Theatre as a headliner.[citation needed]
Death
Leigh's body was discovered on June 16, 1990[5] at her home in Solano County, California. The 26-year-old had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.[2][3] According to former porn performer and message board contributor Brandy Alexandre, an autopsy discovered a lethal dose of Valium in Leigh's system.[citation needed]
