[@kathyjones6178]

Her and David Coverdale used to come into the restaurant that I worked at in incline village, lake Tahoe in the 80s. She was always really nice and very pretty. RIP 😥

[@lisastratton5145]

RIP Tawny. Thank you for making our generation so awesome. ❤️

[@lunanegra6253]

Nooooo she was my favorite 80’s girl. I wanted her hair so bad. It’s strange how I was just thinking about her and now to know she has passed saddens my soul. She was so young and beautiful. He aura was huge and colorful. I will pray for her tonight and light a candle to help guide her way through the after life. My condolences to her family and friends. 2021 is taking so many people.😢

[@divinemercy439]

When I saw Whitesnake in concert in Houston at the Summit in the 80's she was on stage with Coverdale, who had the flu at the time, but still performed the concert. It was a great show - she was iconic and made the 80's what it was - RIP dear one -

[@divinemercy439]

@Lisa Surlie I prefer you not make such a negative post on my positive post - just make your negative comment on your own -

[@divinemercy439]

@Lisa Surlie First of all - that's horrible - where is your humanity? and Second - do it on your own post - not mine - oh and third - it's nobody's business how or why she died - the end result is that she is deceased. What difference does it make and how is it your business?

[@clovis-ti1yv]

Rest In Peace Tawny. It’s hard to imagine the 80s without your face and body on MTV. My condolences go out to your daughters and family.

What a bummer. She was a big part of my growing up. 😥 RIP

[@wwredgrl1515]

I’m heartbroken over this news. She seemed so nice. She actually responded to me when I commented on her Instagrams. And learned my name when she responded, not just my IG name

[@FreddieandBrenda]

This is such a shock! I just texted Tawny on Instagram and we chatted about personal issues last week. Rest in peace Angel .. your with your mom and dad now. 🙏😢😞💔🕊

So sad , My daughter was named after her. 😪😪😪prayers for all who loved her , oh God her poor girls.

[@audhdcreativity5899]

What a beautiful name to chose ♡ I just found out her daughter has the same name as my daughter, and I also used a version of "cat" in her second name, which I always loved for girls/women ♡

[@HunterRouth]

She was a Rockstar amongst the Rockstars.

[@fireice2999]

@Woody Meggs she wasn’t a groupie. She met and dated Robbin Crosby when she was only 16, they were high school sweet hearts and moved with him to LA to become an actress. She was in movies like Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks and TV shows like Hercules and Santa Barbara.

[@debbiemaratea4106]

RIP Tawny Kitaen. Your beauty will live on forever.

[@Metaldog38sHomeOfMetal]

She MADE the videos she appeared in. The songs were great but no way would they have made such an impact on MTV without her in them. When you think of Here I Go Again, you can't help not remembering her on the cars dancing. Another one gone too soon...R.I.P.

[@yell0wberry]

RIP..... she set a trend that would eventually be followed by Pam Anderson, Brandi wine, Bobbi Brown, and every other chick who appeared in a Ratt or a kiss video

[@nickthomas6475]

Facts

[@yell0wberry]

@jessica mcdaniels brandi was the elevator operator in the aerosmith video. after dating a few rockers, she was briefly married to nikki sixx

[@constancelindsey3946]

Jones Brandi Brandt playboy centerfold .married to nikki sixx....also on Married with Children....Pamela Anderson also on Married withChidlren.. Bobbie Brown..also on married with Children..so a number of the hottest 1980s video vamps were on Married with Children.

In the mid 1990'S I worked as a chef at a restaurant where Tawny would frequent. We were all acquainted with her. When ever she came in the place it would sparkle. Her smile was infectious. My thoughts go out to her family. She will be missed

Wow seems like the year's just fly by, I remember her in the movie with Tom Hanks and thought she was so spunky and beautiful. She had a dimple and I thought it made her smile that much brighter and cheerful. She will forever be young in my memory.

[@alexkx8599]

She was/is one of if the not THE most beautiful video vixens of ALL TIME and blew my mind ever since I was a ten year old child watching her!!! She was SO gorgeous!

[@reallifelebowski4732]

When you drive in your car and hear "Here i go again" is there anyone on planet earth that doesn't immediately get a mental image of Tawny? It was totally iconic

[@HappyHands.]

That was my long trip driving song. i used to belt out that song as loud as i could on long lonely trips

[@lorenalaniuk7706]

Yup, for sure. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, and I am female !!!!! She did not age well, she had work done that was horrible. Oh, I guess I should not speak ill of the dead. Sorry.

[@lorenalaniuk7706]

With both of them, it was all about the hair !!!!

[@bsbznumber1fan]

Rip Tawny my deepest condolences to the family for their loss. I remember the first time i saw her on whitesnakes video here i go again and is this love i always wished i could be as beautiful as her. Rest with the angels. You may be gone but you'll never be forgotten💜💜💜 you will be missed.

She’ll always be engraved in the minds of all gen xers who grew up on MYV. She was such a classy bombshell and held her own onscreen with Tom Hanks. Don’t forget The Perils of Gwendoline; a rite of passage film for every 13year old boy…..and a fun flick!

[@davidjs74]

My heartfelt condolences to those who loved her. I was a teen in the '80s and a Whitesnake fan, so I remember Tawny being in Whitesnake videos. Do you think about your own death? If you never thought about death something would be wrong-because death is the ultimate reality we must all face. To never think about death isn’t only unrealistic-it’s foolish. The most important thing I can tell you, however, is that you don’t need to fear death. The reason is that Jesus Christ came into the world to overcome death’s power over us. Death was not part of God’s original plan for the human race-but when Adam and Eve rebelled against God, everything changed, and sin and death became our common lot. But by His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ overcame the powers of sin and death and Hell-and when we put our faith and trust in Him, they no longer have any power over us. What will you do with Jesus Christ? This is the most important question you will ever answer-and I pray you’ll answer it by turning to Him and committing your life to Him. Invite Him to come into your heart and life today, and trust Him alone for your eternal salvation. God’s promise is for you: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Then ask Him to take away your fears, and fill your life instead with His peace. Ask Him also to guide you and help you to follow Him every day.
