Cheyenne Silver, born in San Clemente, California, was the daughter of a forest ranger, which greatly influenced her early life. Spending a significant amount of time in the wilderness, she developed a strong connection with nature. At the age of 18, she had a child, which led her to pursue a career in dance in Las Vegas, adopting the stage name Wildcat, a tribute to her upbringing in the wilderness. As Wildcat, she initially started her career as an adult film actress.
However, her career took a significant turn when she became a contract girl for Vivid Entertainment in 1999. She gained widespread recognition through her appearances on various television shows, including The Howard Stern Radio Show, The Man Show, and Wild On... She was also featured as Penthouse magazine's Pet Of The Month in December 2001.
The success she achieved in the adult film industry inspired her to make a career change. She stopped producing adult content and began pursuing a mainstream film career. Her breakthrough in mainstream films came with the release of This Girl's Life in 2003. In July 2005, she got married, and the following month, she was involved in a severe automobile accident while working on the film Villikon Chronicles: Genesis Of Evil. The accident left her with severe fractures to her skull, and she was airlifted to a trauma center in Englewood, Colorado, due to bleeding in her brain.
After a lengthy recovery period, Cheyenne was able to continue working on Villikon Chronicles, even taking on the role of producer for the project. She has since transitioned to acting under her real name, Cara Fawn.
