I saw an interview of her & she was having trouble from silicone implants. She had Breast Implant Illness. This is real, I am a survivor of Breast Implant Illness myself. It’s very painful & im lucky to have gotten my implants out before they killed me. I was in a wheelchair when I was very sick & now ten years later I have gotten my life back.
I had a friend who got sick all the time…every cold or flu that came a long, she would get it. She got implants around 1990. We went our separate ways, by the time I saw her again around 10 years later she had lupus, which she said was made worse by the implants. She died about 5 years later.
That would also help explain some of the heart issue(s) as well. Cocaine is really hard on a persons heart to begin with and then add to that the drinking. She seemed really sweet and kind in the interviews I've ever seen her in. Sad she died so young too. Wow, I'm only 5 years younger than she was.
She reminds me of my friend who was in Playboy in 1986. They're so good looking they're lost. Used by any guy who can give them more. Sometimes looks are their demise. Sad. She had great hair.
I went to middle school with Tawny and had a few classes with her. She seemed to be a sweet person and was very popular. Recently I saw a You Tube interview with her and it was her last interview very shortly before she passed. I noticed she was very bloated which probably indicated the issues her autopsy showed such as liver and kidney problems. So sad. Rest in peace Tawny.
Kitaen was propelled through live with unparalleled vivacity. She made her choices. She died. I take many risks in my life, galloping horses, trekking into the wilderness alone, motorcycles, etc, if I die I will die happy. What is the point of life if not to live? I truly hope she enjoyed her life and I think she did.
People are always very quick to judge those with a history of addiction and impulsive behavior. However, this woman displayed many signs of having experienced trauma. We should try to be compassionate.
Yeah I know alcohol will cause heart disease/, inlarged heart, and fatty liver, but I didn't know it made the spleen fatty also. Sad you can just go to sleep an not wake up one day. RIP Tawny..
As someone who grew up watching MTV music videos in the prime of the 80’s, I’ll never forget the first time seeing her on the white snake video and had an instant crush on her when I was a young kid that I’ll never forget. RIP, Tawney
I was an ‘80s girl and loved the hair bands. RATT and Whitesnake were among my favorites, and I remember Tawny from those music videos. Like everyone else, I was shocked to hear of her death. I recall when she appeared on Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab and mentioned that she got hooked on painkillers because of her migraine headaches. As a fellow migraine sufferer, I completely empathized with her. Back in the day, I was on a prescription painkiller for my migraines until other treatments became available through research specifically targeting this condition. Currently, I’m taking a medication used for epileptic seizures, which has also been found to help migraine patients; that might explain the seizure medication Tawny was using. The world feels a little less bright without her. 😢💔
Sadly, rehab didn’t work for her if she had opiates and lyrica in her system. Lyrica is rarely given for seizures these days, usually it is prescribed for nerve pain, it’s pretty strong and it can also be addictive…and then she was mixing this stuff with benzodiazepines. The opiates are especially bad, would not wish that addiction on my worst enemy.
I am from Seattle and our Mariner baseball team was in a playoff game with the Cleveland Indians in the early 2000's that I attended with 2 good friends. The husband came back to our seats and said "I was just in an elevator with Tawny Kitaen and she is totally trashed!" Her husband Chuck Finley was the starting pitcher that day, and she was running around the stadium in front of everyone drunk out of her mind. And it was so embarrassing for him, and on top of that the Indians lost the game. It was really sad. And it was only a short time after that game that she physically assaulted Chuck with her stiletto heals. 😥
And this is why I don't bet on sports. You never know what a player is going through. Could have even had bad clam chowder for lunch. Only bet on things that YOU can control! Or don't bet at all.
Anytime I hear of a celebrity passing away in their 40s or 50s with heart related issues, I immediately think habitual cocaine abuse. It has devastating effects on the heart, especially if combined with other substances. It appears that she was taking a plethora of various pills.
On January 20, 2021 Tawny tweeted “John you’re so sweet. I hope you get the vaccine and quick, I’m waiting for it myself. Let’s just pray to God we get it quick, and life moving again.❤” Can anyone put together why she died 6 months after tweeting this?
My neighbor is 351 lbs, never gets off the couch, is 69, V'd 2x and a narcissist . Emotionally unstable woman....is on many of the same RX meds,plus a few, your point?
Cosmetic surgery doesn’t make most people look more attractive. They just simply look odd. But, she was still one of the unforgettable 1980s icons. I first noticed her in a 1985 tv film called “California Girls”. Robby Benson was the star and she played a bit part in the end.
She was using Dilaudid IV getting it from a doctor in Fashion Island in Newport Beach CA. My sister drove her unknowingly to get it AND picked it up for her once again a week later. She died of an overdose. The family didn't want the real autopsy released and since she was still married to Chuck Finley, he got his way.. Her daughters had written her off. And the maid found her, not the daughter. I promise. This is all true. She lived in Belcourt in Newport Beach.
@waveblast2 I swear. Hand to God my sister was a nervous wreck when she realized what Tawney had her pick up. She had the doctors wrapped around her fingers. She didn't die naturally. She was living alone in Belcourt and maid found her. That's the truth. Glad you believe me.
I knew Tawny when she began her modeling career at MWD on La Cienega Blvd. She was just a really nice girl. who lit sip the room. She deserved so much more.
@@WendyP1965 Tawny's problems were eagerly devoured by the public. She was pushed along the path by media happy to report every stumble. Tawny's beauty and personality radiated from her. The delight that these stories took in reporting her problems and how the public ate them up- most with brutal comments to turn that knife. It's simple to say Los Angeles destroyed her. Her beauty and a public that hates to see their idols age and revels in their failures did.
@@troybirch That's right, it wasn't "LA" that did it to her, it was the public who wants to blame it on everyone and everything except for themselves.
@troybirch She certainly did seem like a lovely soul and it's so heartbreaking how that industry and media eat ppl up and spit them out. It's all so toxic and unnecessary.
Yes Julie was her real first name. The way she got the name Tawnie was she went to school one day as a kid. And she heard anther girl had the name Tawnie and she told everyone her name was Tawnie from that day on.
Tawny Kitaen was the girl we all wanted to be ( look like ) in the 80's. I watched her on The Surreal Life and Celebrity Rehab and more recently on her TH-cam channel.
I was on the same meds all at once and then some…my doctor gave all those meds was from chronic pancreatitis and depression. I’m off all opiates for 10 years now. Still use Xanax for a while
Sometime before her death she talked about startling awake to her home alarms going off for no reason and never having them do that before -- police came and stated there were no intruders or any type of break-in that would cause the alarms to go off -- now thinking about it, wonder if her deceased dad was letting her know death was coming for her too. I sure miss watching her channel - she was a true force of nature
One thing I remember about her was she beat the crap out of former baseball pitcher Chuck Finley. With high heels or stilettos. She definitely had a lot of stuff going on in that head of hers. Rest in peace Tawny.
I winced when I heard that but only because it should be private information. Imagine if your mom or your sister’s autopsy info was on TH-cam for all to see/hear. You never know someone’s struggle unless you walk in their shoes.
✨Thanks Jordan. She was absolutely beautiful in the White Snake video. I was just a little kid but I remember it on MTV. Hope you all are well. ~Love&Light♥️C.
Hello Jordan, great video here. I had the honor actually of buying one of her "cameo" type videos many years ago when it first started. She was one of them that was willing to do one for a certain amount of money. Depending on who they were, the amounts were varying. It was a nicely done video by her. I had asked her about the "Whitesnake" videos and if she had kept that white outfit she wore. I had also asked about the movie Bachelor Party and that I was a fan of hers. She was very nice, said no, she didn't keep the white outfit in the music video. She had fun making Bachelor Party with the rising star Tom Hanks and elaborated a bit on her late '80s heavy metal fandom.
Thanks Jordan I was a huge fan of hers! She took on the name Tawny at school she heard someone else had that name and she loved it! She was an 80's icon ❤💜👍💕 RIP miss Julie 💔😥
Wow she was on 3 narcotics , hydrocodone , alprazolam is Xanax and pregabalin is also for fibromyalgia / seizures / nerve pain . Mirtazapine is for depression ! I work in pharmacy so I’m familiar with medications ! So sad , poor thing she had a lot of health issues 😢she was beautiful 🙏🏻
Yes. Three! I noticed that too. Anyone could easily stop breathing when taking so many prescriptions that suppress the respiratory system. It’s no wonder she had fluid in her lungs. What a sad situation that she passed alone.
I never knew she was 5’8”. She was taller than I thought. What’s strange is they list several disease processes but no actual cause of death. There was no heart attack, no aneurysm, no stroke and no trauma either so it’s really hard to understand how she just suddenly passed. Its shocking that a husband would run out of a hotel room and flee from someone his wife was cheating with. At the very least why wouldnt you call the police to report threats and stalking???
They weren't married..he didn't runout before.. OJ burst in 1st..he scared Robbin, who was 6"7 ,,,,,,that's when he threatened him, he said he was scared..not easy to do to him either 🤔...left the room afterwards.
It’s often an arrhythmia that occurs and results in sudden death, such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Autopsy findings are usually coronary artery disease and no significant ischemia or acute process pointing to heart attack. Sounds as though she had a lot of congestive heart failure processes. Your heart can only take so much. Substance use didn’t help her plight but a fair amount is genetic.
And their first album before Out of the Cellar, too. Well, her legs with rats crawling up the fishnets. She’s credited on both album, cassette and cd liners.
fluid on lungs =congestive heart failure- dilatd cardio myopathy ..................work out train daily ,, stay lean . dont booze up or drug up.. sad state of affairs ,,,,,,,,,,,,young gal
I wonder if the Covid vaccine had anything to do with the cardiomyopathy. They started them in December of 2020. I lost a friend to it and it was stated the vaccine caused the cardiomyopathy. I'm not saying this is what happened, I'm just wondering if she had been vaccinated. Either way, it's very sad. She was far too young.
Fatty liver and cirrhosis of the liver is often associated with alcohol abuse --which she has sought help for in her life. She was a talented artist to be remembered for--and I for one will always appreciate her amazing dancing all over that car in that song "here we go again..." Rest in peace! 💓
Let’s try and stay nice to this woman, it matters on who your friends are. We are creatures who want to please for the most part. Need more positivity and less drugs. God bless
As a teenager thoughout the 80's. I always thought that Tawny was naturally Hoter an more Beautiful than Pamela Anderson, Kelly LeBrock and most of the other "it" girls. *🙏🏻Rest In Peace🕊* Tawny
Thx as always for posting, Jordan… Correction: Robbin was the rhythm guitarist of Ratt, Warren DiMartini played lead. Though it is possible Robbin started on lead before Warren came along.
I was 16 for most of 1988 - 17 after October. There was a girl I was smitten with who once picked Here I go Again on a jukebox, so I've been a fan ever since.(It never worked out with the girl). Bachelor Party was also a great film.
…your characterizations of her are spot on…not attracted to the body of her work but very attracted to her vitality and sultry good looks…Pregabalin also used for nerve pain…
I worked in healthcare for 19 years & I recognize the medical terms from the Autopsy. May I suggest, if you're going to read autopsies, that you take a course in medical terminology? I'm not bashing you at all (A for effort! 👌), but I giggled through it 🤭 There's a certain way to pronounce them. I even think there's an app that will tell you the pronunciation . It's sad she died rather young. It appears she did not take care of herself throughout her life. Most of her issues were chronic &, if lifestyle changes aren't made, they just get worse & worse. She did have benzos & opiates in her system. I know you said they were prescribed but most doctors know taking those two things together is not a good idea. she's probably been taking them for a while and, with her liver being enlarged, it's not processing things as it should. This is so sad. Such a beautiful woman gone too soon. Rip Tawney. 😢
I have seen a lot enlarged heart, cysts, enlarged and damaged organs from the c o vid shots. I am sure with her addiction issues that didn’t help either. May she rest in peace.
So strange I thought of her like 3 days ago randomly. I always felt her life was similar as I'm only a couple years younger. I had cardiomyopathy 20 years ago. Almost died. I feel tired some days. My time is coming soon on this weak heart. I lived my life like Tawny just as fun as you can. The 80s were the best.
A lifelong addiction to drugs will take its toll on the body. It’s just a matter of time until the heart gives out due to the prolonged elevated heart rate and blood pressure that is a result from drugs
Chuck is a great guy…I don’t have a clue what kind of person Coverdale is but, I’d guess, Chuck and David Coverdale have only Tawny in common. I’m a fan of all 3…I played baseball at the same college Chuck did. I did some graduate work at West Monroe High School while Chuck was there. I coached the JV baseball team and helped the varsity team that Chuck played on. He was mainly a first baseman. I’d see him a couple years later when we played against one another in a Semi-Pro game (emphasis on Semi). He was playing 1st and I wasn’t batting yet so I coached first base. Chuck said “hey Coach Case”…I didn’t recognize him because he was 6-7 inches taller than he was in HS. He told me he’d signed with the California Angels the previous day. We’d see one another at a couple of Old Timer games through the years. 200 MLB game winner…starting pitcher in an All-Star game…Has 2 kids with Tawny friggin’ Kitaen. I hope he’s doing well, his girls, too.
Ive always wondered if her past substance abuse caught up with her. She was the last one from the 80s that i would think would have been one of the last to pass on because she was so young
Unfortunately she was wrapped up in the LA drug scene for many years. All of them, OJ, Kato, Faye Resnick, Nicole, Robin were heavy drug users and likely hook-ups to friends at minimum. Though Tawney only got a possession charge in 2006 at age 45, she had more than 1/2 an ounce. If she wasn't who she was she'd have gotten an intent to distribute charge. Someone called in a welfare check and her two children were at home at the time of search. She was probably skied out of her mind. The fast life caught up. She had the vibe back in the day though.
Blaze , she dated and grew up with the guitarist of ratt in San Diego . Robin Crosby, hes the one who first started on the road to do coke and other drugs
As an 80s kid, Tawny will always be the ultimate video vixen in my mind. RIP, Tawny.
I saw an interview of her & she was having trouble from silicone implants. She had Breast Implant Illness. This is real, I am a survivor of Breast Implant Illness myself. It’s very painful & im lucky to have gotten my implants out before they killed me. I was in a wheelchair when I was very sick & now ten years later I have gotten my life back.

@@Breeze2Wind❤
She had several DUI’s and was charged with possession of cocaine. So I think her lifestyle contributed to her death.
Yeah maybe. Cocaine causes damage to the heart and brain. You can experience the symptoms at an older age. Some are not effected at all. Weird.
It definitely did.
That would also help explain some of the heart issue(s) as well. Cocaine is really hard on a persons heart to begin with and then add to that the drinking. She seemed really sweet and kind in the interviews I've ever seen her in. Sad she died so young too. Wow, I'm only 5 years younger than she was.
I agree, her old lifestyle was the culprit for her death
Why are Tommy Lee and Ozzy Ozbourne still alive? I’ll tell you why, men can handle their drugs, women cannot! Allegedly.
She reminds me of my friend who was in Playboy in 1986. They're so good looking they're lost. Used by any guy who can give them more. Sometimes looks are their demise. Sad. She had great hair.
You make a hell of a caucasian, Jackie
What?😄

Gen x here. I wanted to be her after seeing her dance on the cars in that video. So beautiful. Rip dear lady ❤
Yes, or Bobbi Brown!
Definitely one of the most legendary MTV videos
I’d be horrified if my niece would aspire to be some drug addict video star for some hack pop metal band.

I take many risks in my life, galloping horses, trekking into the wilderness alone, motorcycles, etc, if I die I will die happy. What is the point of life if not to live?

No doubt she needed love and compassion. Not a lot of that in Hollywood.
This is textbook long term use of alcohol and cocaine.
Yeah I know alcohol will cause heart disease/, inlarged heart, and fatty liver, but I didn't know it made the spleen fatty also. Sad you can just go to sleep an not wake up one day. RIP Tawny..
And untreated mental illness.

OJ burst in 1st..he scared Robbin, who was 6"7 ,,,,,,that's when he threatened him, he said he was scared..not easy to do to him either 🤔...left the room afterwards.
It’s often an arrhythmia that occurs and results in sudden death, such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Autopsy findings are usually coronary artery disease and no significant ischemia or acute process pointing to heart attack. Sounds as though she had a lot of congestive heart failure processes. Your heart can only take so much. Substance use didn’t help her plight but a fair amount is genetic.
@@Fcreceptor Getting vaxxed didn't help. her health went down the tubes after that...
She was the girl on the cover of the RATT album out of the cellar
And their first album before Out of the Cellar, too. Well, her legs with rats crawling up the fishnets. She’s credited on both album, cassette and cd liners.
Marianne Gravat is the one crawling. Ask Stephen Pearcy.
No one rocked the LITTLE WHITE DRESS better than Tawny. Just gorgeous
Did she receive the Covid Shots?
Yes
You know it
😂
Yes she did
Does it matter?
fluid on lungs =congestive heart failure- dilatd cardio myopathy ..................work out train daily ,, stay lean . dont booze up or drug up.. sad state of affairs ,,,,,,,,,,,,young gal
You can do everything right and still have bad health. Genetics are a real thing.
I wonder if the Covid vaccine had anything to do with the cardiomyopathy. They started them in December of 2020. I lost a friend to it and it was stated the vaccine caused the cardiomyopathy. I'm not saying this is what happened, I'm just wondering if she had been vaccinated.
Either way, it's very sad. She was far too young.
No covid vaccine does not have anything to do with it. That is misinformation lies from the right wing conspiracy nuts.
Covid vax wasn't generally available until April 2021
I believe that’s what happen 100 percent
Did it say that? No! Can y'all just stop, t hanks
@@twilight604 Talk about living in denial. 🙄
Julie was walking and heard someone yelling at a girl “TAWNY”…. She said “Now that is a COOL NAME… and changed her name to Tawny.
David Lee Roth said she was ''The Cancer'' of the band.
You forgot to mention that she was also on Hercules with Kevin Sorbo where she played his wife.
Fatty liver and cirrhosis of the liver is often associated with alcohol abuse --which she has sought help for in her life. She was a talented artist to be remembered for--and I for one will always appreciate her amazing dancing all over that car in that song "here we go again..." Rest in peace! 💓
So Xanax and hydrocodone were in her system which together, is hard on the heart.
Autopsy didn't show it to be a factor
@ I was not referring to her cause of death. Just that in general the two combinations can be hard on the heart.
Many of the best looking girls don't live to a ripe old age. Takes a lot of guts to get through it all.
Tawny was very sad after her father passed away, her and her father were very close 😢 RIP Tawny ❤🙏🏼🌹🕊️
@BeliaLastes🌹She looks allot like Melissa Rivers doesn't she? May she rest in peace. 👼♥😢🙏
Let’s try and stay nice to this woman, it matters on who your friends are. We are creatures who want to please for the most part. Need more positivity and less drugs. God bless
Well spoken !!❤
Wow. She was amazing! I had no idea she died three years ago!!!! I remember those videos well. She was a beautiful woman. ❤
213 lbs. and perhaps decades of dietary and drug abuse.
Most likely fluid from her heart problems
As a teenager thoughout the 80's. I always thought that Tawny was naturally Hoter an more Beautiful than Pamela Anderson, Kelly LeBrock and most of the other "it" girls.
*🙏🏻Rest In Peace🕊*
Tawny
As an 80’s kid, I will always love Tawny. She was beautiful, and that head of hair was to die for! Rest in Peace Tawny. ❤
Love Witch Board! Great character development, good story, decent acting. Also liked her in the new WKRP in Cincinnati
Thx as always for posting, Jordan… Correction: Robbin was the rhythm guitarist of Ratt, Warren DiMartini played lead. Though it is possible Robbin started on lead before Warren came along.
"Where is the groom"?
"In the bedroom"!
I was 16 for most of 1988 - 17 after October. There was a girl I was smitten with who once picked Here I go Again on a jukebox, so I've been a fan ever since.(It never worked out with the girl). Bachelor Party was also a great film.
…your characterizations of her are spot on…not attracted to the body of her work but very attracted to her vitality and sultry good looks…Pregabalin also used for nerve pain…
Thanks so much. I am such a Tawny fan.
Me too
❤
Sorry Jordan but "nice" people don't abuse their spouses. I hate to speak ill of the death, but that's how I feel
It's tragic but it was drugs and alcohol rather than diet.
She was beautiful in the white snake videos ,rest In peace 🕊️
I worked in healthcare for 19 years & I recognize the medical terms from the Autopsy. May I suggest, if you're going to read autopsies, that you take a course in medical terminology? I'm not bashing you at all (A for effort! 👌), but I giggled through it 🤭 There's a certain way to pronounce them. I even think there's an app that will tell you the pronunciation .
It's sad she died rather young. It appears she did not take care of herself throughout her life. Most of her issues were chronic &, if lifestyle changes aren't made, they just get worse & worse. She did have benzos & opiates in her system. I know you said they were prescribed but most doctors know taking those two things together is not a good idea. she's probably been taking them for a while and, with her liver being enlarged, it's not processing things as it should. This is so sad. Such a beautiful woman gone too soon. Rip Tawney. 😢
VAXXED !!
Exactly what it was.
RFK Jr your brain worm is being ridiculous again
I have seen a lot enlarged heart, cysts, enlarged and damaged organs from the c o vid shots. I am sure with her addiction issues that didn’t help either. May she rest in peace.
Adored her. Definitely one of the popular 80s girls.
Wow I didn't know OJ got a slice of that.
Alot of people did.
Me either! Yuck 🤢
Her heart was 460 grams,,,,And fatty Liver A normal female heart is 250 grams she was hard on her body
So strange I thought of her like 3 days ago randomly. I always felt her life was similar as I'm only a couple years younger. I had cardiomyopathy 20 years ago. Almost died. I feel tired some days. My time is coming soon on this weak heart. I lived my life like Tawny just as fun as you can. The 80s were the best.
A lifelong addiction to drugs will take its toll on the body. It’s just a matter of time until the heart gives out due to the prolonged elevated heart rate and blood pressure that is a result from drugs
WITCHBOARD ❤️ she is Great as the possessed girlfriend in That HORROR CLASSIC! "Mal Fader is Here"
She was the hottest 80’s video vixen back in her day. 🔥
Thanks for sharing Jordan and Jah
❤❤Thank you for sharing this Jordan!
Kindness matters!
Cardiomyopathy is common in drug users. So sad.😢
Damn I can't even think of her being with OJ
yea its nasty like when linda blair was with chocolate man rick james
Chuck is a great guy…I don’t have a clue what kind of person Coverdale is but, I’d guess, Chuck and David Coverdale have only Tawny in common. I’m a fan of all 3…I played baseball at the same college Chuck did. I did some graduate work at West Monroe High School while Chuck was there. I coached the JV baseball team and helped the varsity team that Chuck played on. He was mainly a first baseman. I’d see him a couple years later when we played against one another in a Semi-Pro game (emphasis on Semi). He was playing 1st and I wasn’t batting yet so I coached first base. Chuck said “hey Coach Case”…I didn’t recognize him because he was 6-7 inches taller than he was in HS. He told me he’d signed with the California Angels the previous day. We’d see one another at a couple of Old Timer games through the years. 200 MLB game winner…starting pitcher in an All-Star game…Has 2 kids with Tawny friggin’ Kitaen. I hope he’s doing well, his girls, too.
He has 3 daughters. The youngest is 17
ratt had great songs
i met her downtown seattle.....thanks jordan....🎵🎶🎵

Geez, why can't people just age gracefully?
Ive always wondered if her past substance abuse caught up with her. She was the last one from the 80s that i would think would have been one of the last to pass on because she was so young
Partying too hard in the 80’s caught up to her.
Unfortunately she was wrapped up in the LA drug scene for many years. All of them, OJ, Kato, Faye Resnick, Nicole, Robin were heavy drug users and likely hook-ups to friends at minimum. Though Tawney only got a possession charge in 2006 at age 45, she had more than 1/2 an ounce. If she wasn't who she was she'd have gotten an intent to distribute charge. Someone called in a welfare check and her two children were at home at the time of search. She was probably skied out of her mind. The fast life caught up. She had the vibe back in the day though.
I remember Ratt & the commercials.White Snake & all this stuff.
Blaze , she dated and grew up with the guitarist of ratt in San Diego . Robin Crosby, hes the one who first started on the road to do coke and other drugs
@ very sad ,RIP Tawny 🌹
She was a beautiful woman in the day. I actually saw her when I was about 15 at a Motley Crue/ Whitesnake show in Ohio in 1987
Witchboard 1986. Tawny acted pretty well, and the movie overall is a decent watch or rewatch.
RIP Tawney 💙🙏💙
