Sheila Kennedy, born April 12, 1962, a former model turned stay-at-home mother to 16-year-old Mikhail. She previously studied acting for 15 years in New York and Los Angeles.
Sheila previously lived the high life with Penthouse Magazine founder Bob Guccione in his 35-million-dollar mansion for 10 years. In 1984, she became Penthouse Pet of the Year. Today, she is the process of writing her autobiographical book.
Admitting she has a temper, Sheila usually yells and cries when she is angry, then seeks solitude afterwards. She stands up to those who try to intimidate her and stands her ground even if she's scared in the inside. Recently, she ended her relationship with her boyfriend.
Describing herself as vibrant, sexy and fun, Sheila is most proud of being a mother. She also looks up to her married sister as her true hero. Sheila's sister is a mother of five, and just last year, she donated a kidney to one of the kids.
Sheila is one of 16 housemates on CBS'
Big Brother 9. She was paired with
Adam . Sheila won her first HoH competition on Day 63, after she made a deal with
Natalie and
Ryan and promised them that she would not nominate either of them for eviction if they let her win the HoH. Her plan all along was to back door Natalie whom she saw as her biggest competitor, and Sheila succeeded as the remaining housemates evicted Natalie on Day 70.
On Day 66, Sheila celebrated her 46th birthday inside the house.
