Another Hollywood legend kicks the bucket

[samhexum]

Tawny Kitaen, the legendary actress best known for her role in 1984’s “Bachelor Party” starring Tom Hanks, has died. She was 59 years old.

 

TMZ reports the San Diego native died in Newport Beach, CA Friday. The coroner has yet to determine the cause of death.

 

In addition to “Bachelor Party,” she also starred in 1984 French cult classic “The Perils of Gwendoline” and 2014’s “After Midnight.”

 

She started out on the game show “To Tell the Truth” in 1976 (at 14?!? methinks somebody was older than 59) and eventually migrated into movies, achieving moderate success.

 

The beauty was also featured in a few classic music videos, notably Whitesnake’s “Is This Love,” and “Here I Go Again.”

 

She later married lead singer David Coverdale 1989, but the marriage only lasted two years. She then wed handsome baseball star Chuck Finley — with whom she had 2 daughters. They split following Finley’s claims that his wife repeatedly kicked him during a domestic dispute.

 

Tawny is survived by daughters Wynter, 28, and Raine, 22.

You're wrong about her age (she WAS born in 1961). Another example why unedited info on the Internet such as Forum posts is not always trustworthy.

Hardly a legend, merely an actress in some B movies and a popular video or two. She had a bright shining moment and then faded fast.

WHO ???

It seems to me that if one can say "best known for". and then list one movie and a few videos, that legendary status has not been achieved. But we can ask Legendary Dave, if he ever checks in again from Bali.

What was Tawny' role on the game show "To Tell The Truth?". Peggy Cass and Kitty Carlisle Hart were the regular panel members.

 

Did Tawny appears as a real person, or a well done gig as an imposter?

 

Whatever, she hardly qualified as a Hollywood Legend.

 

But that's @samhexum and his interesting sense of humor and occasionally brilliant remarks

If reviews make it to the other side, I'm sure she appreciates the remembrance.

Thanks for the notification. I feel especially sorry because I was named after her.
