About Cheyenne Silver
Cheyenne Silver, born Cara Fawn Ballou on July 18, 1978, in San Clemente, California, grew up in a middle-class family of French, Irish, Choctaw, and Cherokee descent. The daughter of a forest ranger, she spent much of her childhood in the wilderness, fostering a love for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, fishing, and horseback riding. She had a daughter at age 18 and, after graduating high school, moved to Las Vegas to work as an exotic dancer under the stage name Wildcat, a nod to her wilderness upbringing. She entered the adult film industry in 1997, initially using the name Wildcat, before adopting Cheyenne Silver in 2000 as a nod to her Native American heritage. Signed as a Vivid Entertainment contract performer(Vivid Girl) in 1999, she appeared in over 70 adult films, including No Manâs Land (1999), Fever (2000), Secrets of the Flesh (2000), and California Cocksuckers (2000), known for her innocent charm and exotic beauty, per IMDb and Boobpedia. Her performances spanned lesbian, heterosexual, and group scenes, often showcasing her tall, slender frame and hazel eyes.
Silver collaborated with performers like Kira Kener, Briana Banks, Nina Hartley, and Lexington Steele. She was named Penthouse Pet of the Month in December 2001 and appeared on The Howard Stern Radio Show three times (1998, 2000, and 2003), The Man Show (1999), Wild On! (1997), and Shipmates (2001), boosting her visibility. She also featured in the N.E.R.D. music video âLapdanceâ (2001). Nominated for the 2000 XRCO Award for Best Group Scene and the 2000 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene for Rocks That Ass 3 with Chaz Vincent, as well as a 2000 Hot dâOr for Best New American Starlet, she did not win major awards, per Boobpedia. Physically, she stands at 5â8â, weighs 136 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and a 36D-24-36 figure that was enhanced from a B cup to a D cup mid-way through her porn career per Celebritate and IAFD. She was not active on OnlyFans but maintained a Twitter presence (@CheyenneSilverXX, ~10k followers).
Fans praised her as âa stunning Native American beauty,â noting her âcaptivating presenceâ in No Manâs Land (2025 comment: âCheyenne might be the most stunning woman to ever do adult movies,â user: CheesePro2). A 2024 X post called her âa 2000s icon who was as beautiful as any woman in both porn and the mainstreamâ (@RetroPornFan). AVN (2000) described her as âmaybe the most bankable star right now(2000),â per Boobpedia. Her beauty was often a topic of discussion, with her placing high on various "Most beautiful porn stars ever" lists. This was echoed by Howard Stern, who told her during her first visit, "You might be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. What the hell are you doing porn for? You should be an actress or Cindy Crawford." The Rialto Report lauded her âexotic look and warm energy,â cementing her as a notable figure in early 2000s adult cinema.
Controversies include a serious car accident on December 12, 2005, near Englewood, Colorado, while working on Villikon Chronicles: Genesis of Evil (2005). She suffered severe skull fractures, a fractured neck, a broken eye socket, and brain bleeding, requiring emergency surgery. She recovered and resumed work as a co-executive producer on the project, transitioning to mainstream acting under her real name, Cara Fawn, per IMDb and Fanboy Planet (2006). Inspired by her role in the mainstream film This Girlâs Life (2003) alongside Juliette Marquis and James Woods, she left adult films in 2004 to pursue a mainstream career, earning a SAG card and having over a dozen offers for mainstream work. Her net worth is estimated at $195,000â$10 million, though higher figures are unverified, per Celebritate and newsoky.com (2023). She was married to Josh Ray from July 23, 2005, until their divorce in 2010, and they had a son and a second daughter named Tiana, per IMDb and WhosDatedWho. No current relationships are documented.
As of July 18, 2025, Silver, now 47, lives privately, in San Diego., with no active social media presence beyond sporadic Twitter activity with fans. Her films remain popular in adult communities, valued for her stunning beauty and vibrant performances.

She's one of my early favs who I was into when starting to watch porn. She is drop dead gorgeous and her boobjob actually didn't make it worse. Hope she's doing good today. Thanks for existing Wild Cat.

I just love her scene with Randy Spears in Carnal Witness. She's great especially the way she moans when coming doggystyle.
