She was still two years from becoming a household name, but in December 1992, gorgeous Shania Twain was already earning her share of wolf whistles — literally! — as she posed for a photo shoot at a snowbound trappers' camp near her hometown of Timmins, Ontario. Shania, then 27, had a huge gray wolf for a costar, and they eventually appeared together on the cover of her self-titled debut album, released in 1993.
"Shania was really in her element," Anne Mousseau, whose brother-in-law shot the newly uncovered accompanying video, tells Star. "It was really cold, and sometimes pretty stormy, over the course of the two-and-a-half-day shoot. But that didn't faze Shania at all. She was really comfortable, and it shows in the video."
Star's exclusive video begins with Shania's arrival in a Snow Cat vehicle. As she poses during the shoot, keep your sound turned up to hear the crew shouting directions, marveling at Shania's beauty, discussing the origins of her name, and engaging in playful back-and-forth banter with the sexy singer that leaves her laughing out loud.
But it's the pet wolf, named Cain, who almost steals the spotlight! "He was really quite tame, and his master was there off-camera the whole time," says Mousseau. "At one point, he jumped up on Shania's back and ended up tearing her coat. But he just wanted to play." And who wouldn't want to get frisky with a world-class beauty like Shania!
Wow! What an amazing find! Thank you Tommy for posting this. I LOVE seeing Shania in her early days - pre-Mutt! If Shania hasn't already seen this, I'm sure this will bring back a flood of good memories!
Cool!
