Lovely and becoming brunette Sherry Buchanan was born in Biloxi, Mississippi and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Buchanan first got involved with the Italian film industry shortly after graduating from high school when she replaced a production secretary during the shooting of My Name Is Nobody (1973) in Louisiana. Sherry subsequently moved to Rome, Italy, where she established herself as a model prior to making her acting debut in the giallo What Have They Done to Your Daughters? (1974). Buchanan continued to act in both movies and TV commercials, but decided to take a hiatus from acting after she found out that a body double was used without her knowledge or consent for explicit hardcore insert scenes for the low-grade exploitation outing Emanuelle and Joanna (1979). Sherry returned to America to study sociology at Layola University in New Orleans and eventually moved back to Italy so she could resume acting in minor parts in a few movies prior to calling it a day as an actress in 1987.
