In 1972, when she was two, Wilsey's parents divorced. She grew up in Texas with her mother and then, after a brief stay with her father in Oxnard, CA, lived with her grandparents in Mission Viejo, where she became a high school cheerleader. Her manager, Nancy Pera, said Wilsey told her that her childhood was unhappy and she had been molested. Wilsey's father, Mike, said his daughter never told him about any such abuse.
Wilsey began dating rock star Gregg Allman while still in high school and eventually went on tour with him for several years. After returning to California, she decided on a career in the entertainment industry. Her symmetrical good looks, enhanced by two separate breast enlargements and her pale blonde hair, brought her to the attention of Vivid Video in Van Nuys, where she was signed as a contract Vivid Girl.
In a video interview for Vivid, Wilsey stated that the first time she saw "erotic material" was when she was "snooping through her parents' things" and found some magazines. She later stated that she used to watch porn videos with her boyfriend on his tour bus (presumably referring to Allman).
Wilsey became involved in a long-term relationship with fellow pornographic actress Jeanna Fine, with whom she later claimed to have fallen deeply in love. In a 1999 interview following the airing of the E! True Hollywood Story about Wilsey's life and death, Fine commented, "We had an ongoing, on-again, off-again, volatile, loving relationship. At that time I was having a lot of problems myself. Between [male porn actor] Sikki Nixx and Savannah pushing and pulling, I pretty much at one point ran away from them both. I couldn't take it any longer. But I feel I left her behind when she needed me most. It's very sad."
Savannah also had relationships with singer Billy Idol, Mötley Crüe member Vince Neil, bassist Billy Sheehan, comedian Pauly Shore, guitarist Slash, and actor Mark Wahlberg, According to an interview with Adult Video News, Wilsey stated: "I love sex and I love sex with rockers more than anything else.
