Tawny Kitaen Biography
Birth Name:
Julie Kitaen
Birth Place:
San Diego, CA
Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign:
08/05/1961, Leo
Profession:
Actor
Although this '80s sex kitten ushered many a boy into puberty by writhing around in lingerie on the hood of a car in Whitesnake's video "Here I Go Again," she would have faded away into pop-culture oblivion if it weren't for her well-publicized drug problems and run-ins with the law. After doing small parts on TV and in films (she was Tom Hanks' bride-to-be in
Bachelor Party
), this former model became a hair-metal hottie and was briefly wed to Whitesnake front man David Coverdale. In the '90s, she snagged a few low-rent acting gigs (cohost of
America's Funniest People
, recurring roles on
The New WKRP in Cincinnati
and
Hercules
) but was more famous for beating up her second hubby, baseball pitcher Chick Finley, with a high-heeled shoe. When he filed for divorce, Kitaen admitted to drug problems and was required to undergo substance abuse and anger-management counseling. After being out of the public eye for a couple of years, she made a messy return in 2006 when she signed on to VH1's "celebreality" show
The Surreal Life
. Erratic, drug-addled, flirtatious and angry (she verbally attacked
Brady Bunch
matriarch Florence Henderson), Kitaen alienated almost all of her housemates, along with most viewers. While she repeatedly claimed that she was sober, in November of that same year she was arrested for cocaine possession.
