About Nicole Sheridan

Nicole Sheridan, born Melissa Post on May 7, 1975, in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, grew up in a small-town environment with little documented about her early life or family background. After high school, she worked as a model and exotic dancer in her early 20s, which provided her with the confidence and stage presence to transition into the adult entertainment industry. Her modeling included minor print work, but her dancing career in clubs around Los Angeles sparked her entry into adult films.

She debuted in the adult industry in 1999 at age 24, quickly gaining attention for her striking appearance and energetic performances. Known for her blonde hair, blue eyes, and statuesque 5’10”, 140-pound figure with 34DD-24-36 measurements (enhanced by breast augmentation she got when stripping), she appeared in over 250 films. She worked with major studios like Vivid Entertainment, Wicked Pictures, Adam & Eve, and Evil Angel. Notable films include Taboo 2001 (2001), No Man’s Land 35 (2002), Fetish: The Dream Scape (2002), and Pussyman’s Decadent Divas 18 (2002). Her performances often featured a mix of sensual and hardcore scenes, with a strong emphasis on fetish and lesbian roles, showcasing her versatility.

Sheridan frequently collaborated with her husband, Voodoo (Alexandre Boisvert), whom she met early in her career, as well as stars like Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, and Evan Stone. Her standout scenes include her fetish-driven performances in Fetish: The Dream Scape, praised for their intensity, and her chemistry with Voodoo in Taboo 2001, noted for its passionate authenticity. Web sources like IAFD and fan comments on X highlight her “Amazonian” physique and fearless approach, making her a favorite in fetish and gonzo genres.

Physically, Sheridan’s tall, Amazon build, platinum blonde hair, and striking features defined her appeal. Fans on platforms like The Rialto Report called her “gorgeous” and a “fetish icon,” praising her commanding presence and ability to dominate scenes. Public perception was positive within the industry, with her professionalism and dedication earning respect. Some fans noted her preference for fetish roles over mainstream glamour, but her bold performances were widely celebrated.

Nicole Sheridan earned two AVN wins for standout scene performances—a Best Anal Sex Scene – Film award in 2002 and a Best Group Sex Scene – Video award in 2007—and received additional recognition through nominations at AVN (for Best Actress and Group Scene in 2002, and Group Scene in 2003) as well as XRCO nods in 2004 and 2005 for her couple scene work. Sheridan was not inducted into the AVN or XRCO Halls of Fame, but her work was valued in the early 2000s adult film scene.

Controversies were minimal, as Sheridan maintained a professional image and avoided major scandals. Her focus on fetish content occasionally sparked discussions about the genre’s intensity, but she faced no personal controversies. She and Voodoo were open about their swinger lifestyle, which was well-received by fans but occasionally raised eyebrows in conservative circles.

Sheridan married adult actor Voodoo in 2000, and they performed together in numerous films, often highlighting their real-life chemistry. Their marriage lasted throughout her career, and they remained together post-retirement, though no children are documented as of 2025. Sheridan and Voodoo were swingers and she dated other men and women including other pornstars like Briana Banks.

She retired from performing in 2006, citing a desire to focus on personal life and new ventures. She briefly explored directing, contributing to a few Vivid projects like Nicole Sheridan’s Fetish Fantasies (2006), but did not pursue a long-term career behind the scenes. Her mainstream ventures were limited to minor softcore film roles and adult magazine modeling, with no significant mainstream acting due to industry stigma.

As of June 29, 2025, Nicole Sheridan’s current activities are largely private. She resides in Southern California, likely with Voodoo, and has no active social media presence. Fan-run X accounts occasionally post nostalgic content, with comments praising her as a “2000s fetish star” and “underrated talent. who should come back and make an Onlyfans. Her films remain popular in vintage and fetish adult film communities, and her legacy endures for her striking presence and contributions to the genre.
