Tawny Kitaen, the actress and model best known for starring in Whitesnake’s iconic music video for “Here I Go Again,” has died. She was 59-years-old.

Variety reports that Kitaen died at her home in Newport Beach, CA yesterday, Friday, May 7. No cause of death has been revealed.

Kitaen’s music video debut came in RATT’s 198x clip, “Back for More.” She went on to appear not only in Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again” video, but several of the band’s other clips as well, including “Still of the Night,” “Is This Love” and “The Deeper the Love.” She was also married to Whitesnake singer David Coverdale from 1989 to 1991.

As an actress, Kitaen played Tom Hanks’ girlfriend in the 1984 comedy Bachelor Party and appeared in the Seinfeld episode “The Nose Job.”

Kitaen also appeared on VH1’s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2009.

Can’t tell who’s zooming who here between you and “x”, wardaddy.

So, I figured I’d put what I sent to “x” in a response to you as well (see bottom section of this response).

Men when exposed as verbal abusers of women in relationships are known to have epiphanies and reform themselves. (See Evans, Introduction). Women when similarly exposed NEVER reform. (See also Evans, Introduction. These conclusions are based on Evans’ decades of clinical experience as a life coach.)

So while most verbal abusers in male-female relationships are men, the female victims can reasonably hold out hope that the relationship can eventually be mended and changed into a fruitful one for both parties.

Rarer male victims of female abusers in long-term verbally abusive relationships, however, must face facts. Such relationships, it appears, can never be mended.

__________

Verbally abusive people tell other people what is going on inside their own minds. In verbally abusive relationships, this is one among many other very specific and brutal techniques used by cruel people to emotionally and psychologically reduce the other person in the relationship over time. Nobody should ever put up with being told what is going on in their own mind or suffer any other torment chatacteristic of a verbally abusive relationship. Nevertheless, these types of relationships between abuser and victim can last decades with the abuse getting worse and worse, but with it never dawning on the victim that that anything is particularly amiss, sometimes simply because they never had any effective basis for comparison. (See Evans, P., “The Verbally Abusive Relationship”, 1992 1st ed.) To use the famous analogy, the person can end up being gradually boiled like the famous frog over nearly half his or her lifetime and never think to escape or seek help. The net effect can be quite disastrous.

Lol...they aren’t lost. These two know their ridiculous, ignorant comments will fly under most people’s radar or will simply be ignored. Or worse, agreed with.

And they say the left is obsessed with race.

Just remember and I’ve lived by this motto...

No matter how good looking they are, no matter how hot they are, no matter how good in bed they are, there is someone somewhere who is sick of her.....and always think with your big head and never let your small head override good sense.

I skimmed through most of her recent posts. She had bronchitis a month ago. Then her father died and she posted several photos of her with him. She looked quite well although very much overworked face, sadly. As a woman I understand that fight of aging but gosh she didn’t need all that and IMO would have been much prettier without the huge pout mouth. But that’s a harsh business she was in.

I didn’t see any mention of a vaccine. Mostly just fawning fans and her fawning over their attention. One photo she posted of herself about 9 days ago dressed up, walking down a sidewalk, saying she was going to work.

Her daughters just posted an Instagram on her Twitter announcing the death. Nothing else said.

“Daughter of Racheal Welch. rip”

The daughter of Raquel Welch is alive and well. Tawny Kitaen was a totally different person. I think when the video came out there was a urban legend that it was Raquel Welch’s daughter. It was not

[Wiki]:

Latanne Rene “Tahnee” Welch (born December 26, 1961) is an American model and actress. She is the daughter of actress Raquel Welch.

Kitaen was born Julie Kitaen in San Diego, California, in 1961, the daughter of Linda Kitaen (née Taylor), a housewife and one-time beauty pageant participant, and Terry Kitaen, an employee of a neon sign company.

Tawny Kitaen’s rock video exploits had their impact on ‘80s culture.

The song “1985” (it came out in 2004) alludes to them.

Not without a hint of criticism...

__________

Woohoo Woohoo

Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husbands a CPA

Her dreams went out the door
When she turned twenty four
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ***
On the hood of White Snake’s car

Her yellow SUV
is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing has been alright

since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV

Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
‘cause she’s still preoccupied

With 19,
19,

1985

Woohoo (1985)

Woohoo

She’s seen all the classics
She knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink
Even Saint Elmo’s Fire

She rocked out to Wham!
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she’d get a hand
On a member of Duran Duran

Where’s the mini-skirt
made of snake skin
And who’s the other guy
singing in Van Halen

When did reality
become T.V.
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio)

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV

Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
‘cause she’s still preoccupied

With 19,
19,

1985.

Woohoo

She hates time
make it stop
When did Motley Crue
become classic rock?

And when did Ozzy
become an actor?
Please make this

Stop! Stop! Stop!

And bring back

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV

Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
‘cause she’s still preoccupied
With 1985

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
