The body of early Playboy Playmate and cult film icon (the memorable bad girl of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman and Attack of the Giant Leeches) Vyette Vickers was found in her Beverly Hills home yesterday. Horribly, the body was literally mummified, indicating that Ms. Vickers had passed away and remained undiscovered for up to a year. She would have been (approximately) 83 at the time of her passing. Rest in Peace.

So very sad. At least she was surrounded by her fans’ adoring mail–love, even if only in written form. R.I.P., Ms. Vickers.

Very sad! Her wikipedia article says she was working on her autobiography before she died. I’d love to read that, but we probably won’t get to.
(Oh, it’s Yvette, btw.)

Huh, that’s an odd spoonerism. Thanks for the notice.
