   Julie E. “Tawny” Kitaen, Bachelor Party actress and recurring   
   Whitesnake music video star, has died, Variety reports. Kitaen,   
   who was most known for her role as the vixen in many of the ’80s   
   hard rock band’s videos, was 59 years old.   
      
   The Orange County, California coroner’s office confirmed the   
   news, listing her as Tawny Finley. The report states that the   
   star died at her home in Newport Beach on Friday morning, but a   
   cause of death has not yet been revealed.   
      
   Kitaen was born in San Diego, California, and first emerged as   
   part of the rock scene in 1983 after appearing on the cover of   
   heavy metal band RATT’s self-titled 1983 debut album as well as   
   Out of the Cellar, in 1984, an album which has been certified   
   triple-platinum. At the time, Kitaen was dating RATT guitarist   
   Robbin Crosby.   
      
   The seductress was featured in RATT’s “Back for More” music   
   video and soon after became the video vixen most known for her   
   appearance in Whitesnake’s 1987 smash hit “Here I Go Again,”   
   where she displayed her beauty and acrobatic flexibility. You   
   can check out that music video above.   
      
   “Still of the Night,” “Is This Love” and “The Deeper the Love”   
   also featured Kitaen, who very briefly married Whitesnake’s lead   
   singer, David Coverdale, from 1989 to 1991.   
      
   She then moved on to acting with a starring role as Tom Hanks’   
   girlfriend in the celebrated 1984 comedy, Bachelor Party. Kitaen   
   also appeared in Witchboard, White Hot and Dead Tides, as well   
   as a Seinfeld episode titled “The One With The Nose Job.”   
      
   Kitaen more recently partook in a few reality shows, including   
   The Surreal Life, Botched and a 2008 season of VH1’s Celebrity   
   Rehab with Dr. Drew.   
      
   She had long struggled with substance abuse, as she revealed on   
   Celebrity Rehab, and had several encounters with the law,   
   including a 2006 cocaine possession and 2009 DUI charge.   
      
   Kitaen is survived by two daughters from her marriage to   
   baseball player Chuck Finley from 1997 to 2002.   
      
   She last tweeted on May 6 to thank a fan for a drawing.
