There’s a hot’n sexy new show set to start Sept. 19 on NBC called, “The Playboy Club,” set in 1960s Chicago (Ike and Tina Turner make an appearance). This story is from the LA Times last May, when the show must have been in its’ final stages of production, giving the sad and lonely endgame saga for the real life equivalent of one of those luscious TV Playboy Bunnies. Not much to say, other than America doesn’t have enough respect for elderly and LA clearly has no respect for the formerly celebrated:
Mummified body of former Playboy playmate Yvette Vickers found in her Benedict Canyon home – May 2, 2011 | 2:21 pm
Yvette Vickers, an early Playboy playmate whose credits as a B-movie actress included such cult films as “Attack of the 50-Foot Woman” and “Attack of the Giant Leeches,” was found dead last week at her Benedict Canyon home. Her body appears to have gone undiscovered for months, police said.
Vickers, 82, had not been seen for a long time. A neighbor discovered her body in an upstairs room of her Westwanda Drive home on April 27. Its mummified state suggests she could have been dead for close to a year, police said.
Full story is here.
