Early Life

Shy Love was born in Wiesbaden-Hessen, Germany to a Sicilian Father and Puerto Rican Mother. Her Father was in the US Army and was stationed on a base in Wiesbaden in the late 70's. After eight years, the family, including Shy's five older and younger sisters, relocated to the US. Shy grew up in New Haven, Connecticut. She did remarkably well in school, skipping one grade in middle school and one grade in high school. She moved from her home and began attending college at the early age of 16 in South Florida. Three short years later Shy completed her Bachelors in Accounting degree. Shy stayed in school and got her Master's Degree in Accounting immediately afterwards. With a new Master's in her pocket, Shy used her knowledge to acquire a job as the comptroller of a multi-national pet pharmaceutical company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Pet Med Express, Inc. During her employ, Shy earned her second Master's Degree in Taxation at night. By age 25, Shy Love possessed two Master's Degrees with an expertise in business taxation and liability.

Following her husband, who owned a successful advertising agency in Miami and office in Los Angeles, Shy became a Los Angeles resident in April of 2003. She took a job working as the head of accounting for a small vocational college in Northridge with six different locations. Shy was bored, and decided to begin regular visits to the gym. Soon she had hired a personal trainer and within less than 90 days, Shy had reconditioned her body, and felt that she was in tip-top shape.

Career

Shy decided to go to Playboy Magazine's Santa Monica offices to take a test photo shoot for a potential spot in the magazine. Shy was informed that there were no centerfold openings within the next 12 months, but that Playboy's Spice TV could use a fresh new host for their series, Spice Clips and Spice Hotel. Shy's experiences at Playboy TV lead her to meet a number of influential people in the adult industry including Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt at an early stage in her new career.

In October of 2003, Shy contracted an exclusive acting agency based out of Studio City to represent her exclusively as an adult actress. In her first year, Shy performed in nearly 300 movies, working almost every day in a different scene every week. Today, Shy has over 600 adult movies under her belt.

Shy has worked for all of the major production companies including: Vivid, Pureplay, Hustler, Playboy, and Wicked. With a strong interest in anal sex, Shy ensured that almost 75% of her scenes to date have been anal. Over 50 of the movies she has starred in have been shown on cable/satellite network channels Cinemax (Skinemax) and Showtime TV. She has also appeared in three episodes of Seymour Butts famous TV show on Showtime, The Family Business.

With a successful career as an adult actress in place, Shy decided to begin Directing and Producing movies herself in 2004. After only one year as a director, Shy was nominated for the AVN Awards Show Best Director, Vignette Award in January, 2006. Additionally, she was nominated for two performance awards.

Using her business savvy, she and her husband Eric Hunter formed two studios together, Full Throttle Productions and Shy Love Films. To date, Shy has produced 24 movies and directed another 20. Shy is the President and CFO of both companies and has parlayed her experience as a taxation expert into annual "side-jobs" for herself during tax season each year overseeing and balancing the books for nine adult studios located in Los Angeles including her own.

At the Temptation Awards in August of 2006, Shy stood at the podium as a "Celebrity Presenter". With three nominations at the awards show, Shy took home an acting award for Best Anal Scene.
