My Take

Tawny Kitaen, to me, is the very texture of the 1980s. The San Diego native became an icon dancing across car hoods in Whitesnake videos, but she was also a working actress in comedies like Bachelor Party and the horror cult piece Witchboard. What stays with me is how completely she embodied that decade's brand of glamour, all big energy and dazzling smile. Her later struggles and her death in 2021 lend her story a real poignancy. I prefer to remember the magnetic screen presence she had at her peak, an image that one viewing makes impossible to forget.
