Shannon said that the accident, which killed three family members, helped lead her to a career in acting.
When she was 4 years old, her mother, younger sister and cousin were killed in a car accident, and her father, who had been driving under the influence, was severely injured.
."There's no way you could feel that type of deep pain about your mother and your sister being dead, so you just hold it all in, and it comes up later in life." "The life that we left was not the same life we were moving back into," Shannon said."It just felt like everything was different, and I wanted my aunt to do stuff like my mom. ... We would learn to do fun stuff, like tie our shoes, and I felt like, 'Katie, my little sister, should be here learning. She would have loved this. Katie would have loved doing the rabbits and tying her shoe.
