Biography of Roxy Reynolds (Last update: 2026-04-09)

Roxy Reynolds was born on December 28th in Southwest Philadelphia and currently resides in Columbus, Ohio, where she attends Ohio State University, studying Spanish Education and Sociology. From an early age, she stood out as an intelligent and bold girl, being the youngest in her family and the only girl, which led her to adopt a somewhat mischievous personality and get involved in various activities, such as soccer, volleyball, track, drill team, cheerleading, and even chess.

Before entering the adult film industry, Roxy worked as a dancer at a club called Bob's Classy Lady in California. Her foray into the world of adult entertainment began in 2005 and lasted until 2013, although her first interview came just four months after she started, by which time she had already made about thirty films. Among her most notable works are titles like Booty Talk 65, Black Street Hookers Cream Pie 6, and Booty Talk 73, as well as a memorable scene on the rooftop of a building facing the Empire State Building. Over time, she became a prominent figure, being a contract star for Black Ice and founding her own production company, Double R Productions, as well as becoming the head of Hardbody Entertainment.

Roxy has mentioned that her first shoot was with actor Mr. Marcus in a West Coast film, where she felt safe and prepared. She also worked with other legends like Lexington Steele, putting to the test her claim that "no penis is too big." Her experience on set has been positive; she enjoys dancing and acting, and has expressed her desire to act in higher-prestige films, with Jada Pinkett being her idol. Despite her success in the industry, she maintained her commitment to education, planning to continue her studies and reduce her adult film workload as she advanced in her academic career.

In her personal life, Roxy has had interracial relationships and has worked with various actors, both male and female. She prefers working with guys she likes, setting high standards (demanding they be a "9 or above," even bringing a ruler to check). Although she enjoys scenes with girls, she often needs a man present to feel comfortable. Her life has been marked by a desire to explore her sexuality, which led to some misunderstandings with her family, especially when her brother discovered her career through her mail. Roxy has also revealed that she uses a sponge as a safety measure during her scenes, highlighting her conscious approach to health and safety. She has made significant sacrifices for her career, such as giving up a serious relationship and the idea of having children, although she had a relationship that ended on good terms and led to a business partnership.

Throughout her career, Roxy has been featured in magazines such as Hush, Wheels 2000, FHM, Excitement Magazine, and Behind the Wheels Magazine, and has appeared in music videos for artists like Yung Joc, Trey Songz, Marques Houston, Lil Wayne, and Lloyd. She received several awards, including Best Female Actress at the Urban Spice Awards in 2008 and the Crossover: Female distinction. In 2017, she was inducted into the Urban X Hall of Fame.

After retiring from adult film, Roxy — also known as Schanell Sanders — published her first book in 2014, Secrets Of A Porn Star, which was later adapted into a film. She made her television debut with a standout role on the hit STARZ series Power, and since then has transitioned into the business world: she is the founder and CEO of M & S Sanders Trucking Company, a real estate investor, and launched her fragrance line called Untold Truth in collaboration with Macy's. The choice of the fragrance's name reflects her desire for people to recognize that there is much more to her than her former identity as Roxy Reynolds. She plans to expand the line with a men's collection and has expressed her desire to act alongside Denzel Washington, who shares her birthday. Her message to women is clear: they should feel secure and comfortable in their own skin, regardless of their past decisions, and she reminds them that by putting God first, success can be achieved.
