1980's Music-Video-Vixen 'Tawny Kitaen' dies at age 59

Tawny Kitaen did a lot of TV work in the last 30 years. She also worked in a few B-films in the 1980's. Her biggest hit was with Tom Hanks in "Bachelor Party" (1984).

In the 1980's - There was no Internet nor Social Media. Music was promoted on cable-TV with VH-1 (video hits one) and MTV (music television). There were only 3 major TV networks ABC-NBC-CBS... NBC played "Friday Night Videos" on late night, but only after prime-time.

Tawny appeared in 3 rock music videos by the group "White Snake." Those videos rotated heavily on MTV that made her a popular and sexy-video-vixen. Those 3 songs were huge pop/rock hits and the album called, "White Snake" sold 8 million records. Tawny's video appearances eclipsed her acting career for which she will forever be remembered.... RIP.
