The "Who's Alive" site says that Tiffany Sloan committed suicide by drug overdose.

First time poster here.

Ronnie Dawn (PH, May 1991), real name Sherry Dawn Dunson. I recall hearing about her murder when it happened, as I live in Texas. The police think it was a carjacking attempt. A reward was offered, but I don't know if the case was ever solved. At the time, Houston was the No. 1 US city for murders.

Here is a link I found from the Houston newspaper

Link didn't work, so I copied and pasted the article:

The Penthouse Pet of the Month for May was fatally shot Friday in her friend's luxury car and may have been the victim of an attempted "carjacking," a term police use to describe a new wave of robberies in which cars are stolen at gunpoint.

Sherry Dawn Dunson, who celebrated her 22nd birthday Wednesday, was shot about 3 a.m. at a service station in the 3200 block of Chimney Rock near Richmond in southwest Houston.
Houston police homicide detective Kenny Williamson said that in addition to modeling for Penthouse the victim was a dancer at Rick's Cabaret.
The manager of the club, Bill Floyd, said the victim used the stage name of Ronnie Dawn.
He said she had been working there for three years and that they had held a birthday party for her Wednesday night.
"Everyone is in shock right now. She had just gotten back from Los Angeles where she was trying to pursue her modeling and acting career," he said.
"She was real excited because her agent had called her and told her that she was up for a movie part," he said.
Floyd said Dunson stopped by the club Thursday night to see some friends who had not been at the party the previous night.
"She said hello and visited for a while and then left with Lynn to go celebrating," he said.
Floyd said Dunson left with her close friend Lynn Johnson, who also works at Rick's Cabaret and had also modeled for Penthouse. They were in Johnson's black Mercedes 380 SE.
Police said they visited several clubs and were on their way home when they decided to stop at the service station to buy cigarettes and use the telephone.
"They had been drinking, and they wanted to stop and call someone to come pick them up," Williamson said.
"The friend got out of the car and went to use the phone while the victim remained behind the wheel of the car," Williamson said.
While Johnson was on the phone another car pulled up next to the Mercedes.
"The friend told us she could hear talking going on between the two cars, but she couldn't tell what they were saying," he said.
"When she heard the victim say, "I'll shoot you, too,' " she ducked behind the building. "A few moments later she heard a shot and came out and found the victim still behind the wheel shot in the chest with a small-caliber weapon," Williamson said.
Dunson was taken to Ben Taub Hospital where she died shortly after arrival.
Williamson said that after the shot was fired the gunman sped away and was last seen heading south on Chimney Rock.
"Our only description of the car is that it is a small to medium-sized car probably with tinted windows," he said.
Williamson said nothing was stolen and that police believe there are two possible motives for the slaying.
"It was either a robbery or stemmed from some sort of traffic argument," he said.
Homicide detective Boyd Smith said the co-workers of the victims told investigators she didn't have any problems with any customers that evening.
"We don't think it's related to work. They went to a few clubs afterward, but there were no conflicts there either," he said.
Smith said it was possible that the gunman wanted to steal the victim's car.
"It is a slick-looking car. He could have been after the car, but we don't know why he didn't follow through and take it," he said.
Police have noticed an alarming increase in the number of cases in which robbers force people out of their vehicles and then steal them.
Through the end of September this year there have been 426 carjackings, 35 percent more than occurred during the same period last year.
Police believe the carjackings have increased for two reasons. Better technology in the form of car alarms and locks are preventing thieves from easily stealing unattended cars. Second, better security at convenience stores are making those more difficult for hijackers to target so robbers are turning to other forms of crime.
Floyd said Dunson was very well liked and respected at the club.
"She was a really good person, always really upbeat and really a lot of fun," he said. "We were so happy for her. This whole thing is so senseless, it's really hard to swallow."

Also gone are Roberta Collins (Women in Cages, The Big Doll House, The Roommates, Caged Heat, and not-insignificant mainstream stuff), in 2008 at age 63 from an accidental overdose, and Bambi Allen (The Ribald Tales of Robin Hood, The Fabulous Bastard from Chicago), in 1973 at age 34 from complications caused by her silicone breast implants.

Both actresses also appeared on the TV cop show "Adam-12."

The German porn star Carolin Berger, aka "Sexy Cora, " died Thursday at a hospital in Hamburg, after spending nine days in a coma due to complications during a sixth operation to implant surgery.

Cora, age 23, had pointed out last year in the German version of the TV reality show "Big Brother ".

This last operation should have been allowed to spend 500 to 800 grams of implants (for breast) and a 90G to a 90H cup. An investigation was initiated to determine whether the negligence of the anesthesiologist and the doctor was not concerned

Tura Satana has passed away at 72. From Associated Press:



LOS ANGELES – Tura Satana, who gained cult status for her role in the 1965 Russ Meyer movie "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" has died of heart failure at age 72.
The Los Angeles Times reports Satana's death was confirmed by her manager, Siouxzan Perry, who said Satana died Friday at a hospital in Reno, Nev.
In "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" Satana played Varla, the leader of a trio of thrill-seeking go-go dancers who kills a man with her bare hands. The women then set out to rob a wealthy older man who lives on a desert ranch with his two sons.
Meyer has said the movie was an "absolute loser" when released but was rediscovered by the 1990s. It has since been shown at film festivals and art house cinemas.
Satana's other credits include the 1963 film "Irma La Douce" and the television shows "Burke's Law" and "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."
