ALL ABOUT YVETTE

Another RIP: Maybe three or four days ago Your Humble Narrator was discussing Yvette Vickers, saying to a pal that of all the wonderful trashy, tawdry tramps of the movies, Ms. Vickers was among the most insolently, maddeningly sexy.

Now it appears that poor Yvette, who was in Attack of the Giant Leeches & Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, in Hud & very briefly, but memorably, in Sunset Boulevard, has departed, perhaps as long as a year ago: in a true Hollywood-Gothic twist, a long-mummified body believed to be her’s has been discovered in her Beverly Hills home.

Ingrid Pitt, Tura Satana & now Yvette Vickers, all leaving this earthly realm within a six-month period... *sigh*
