I’m finding it interesting that many of these post 1960s actors, actresses, and music/song people, I have never heard of.
How sad.
She played Hercules’s late wife (in flashbacks and the afterlife) in Hercules, The Legendary Journeys. She could have used a better hairdo.
My gramps has a DVD titled “The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yak” 1984 where she starred in it.
At one time she was extremely hot but age wasn’t kind to her and from what Chuck Finley said she was crazy as a loon, he had to call the police on her for physically abusing him
Too young to be departing this rage.
I remember her. The name and the personality.
Wasn’t she married to a pro baseball player, and accused of beating him up numerous times? I recall thinking her name would have been a great stage name for a stripper.
Another rock groupie bites the dust.
Yes she committed domestic violence against her husband. She was also busted for drugs at least once. She sounds like one of those unstable personalities.
She was in the 1984 remake of The Bachelor tyParty with Tom Hanks and the short lived New WKRP In Cincinnati.
Nobody could do a hotter dance on the hood of Jag than Tawny.RIP Tawny
All boners should be flown at half staff for the next week in honor of Tawny. RIP
Her “Here We Go Again” video is funny and worth the watch.
Daughter of Racheal Welch. rip
Yeah, I remember the Whitesnake videos. I imagine that’s how she’d prefer to be remembered, too.
Nooooooooooo
