It's rare that an actress comes along and completely steals the show on a hit series, especially one that has such limited screen time, but Shannon Purser did just that when she took on the role of Barbara Holland on the massively popular Netflix series Stranger Things. "Barb" immediately became a cult character herself and turned this ravishing redhead into a star overnight, despite only being in a handful of episodes! For this Atlanta born and bred beauty, she was poised to become a fan favorite as soon as they got a look at her gorgeous face, if you ask us! After her popularity on that series launched her into the stratosphere, Shannon was able to get her footing in Hollywood and got a lead role in another Netflix project, Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018). The sexy Shannon has also been able to land on a bunch of popular TV shows such as Rise, Riverdale, Room 104, and Day by Day. It seems like nothing is going to hold this pouty lipped babe back from becoming a household name in the 2020s, and she has kicked off the decade with a lesbian smooch with Heather Matarazzo on the 2020 HBO Max docu-drama mini-series Equal, which focuses on the leaders and heroes of the LGBTQA+ community in America before the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York. Shannon plays author, activist, and proud lesbian Del Martin and Heather plays her longtime partner and eventual spouse Phyllis Lyon. It seems like the scintillating Shannon Purser is here to stay and we couldn't be more pleased that the real life Barb is getting to be as popular as she deserves! She is so insanely sexy that we hope Shannon keeps on getting screen time and eventually shows us a little more skin because she's our kind of strawberry smoke show!
