Toothsome, redheaded leading lady Tawny Kitaen got her start on such TV serials as Capitol and Santa Barbara. She graduated to "babe-hood" in the teen-raunch comedy Bachelor Party (1984). With her starring role in The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak, the 1984 film version of the old S&M "underground" comic strip, Kitaen achieved stardom as the torn-blouse heroine of many an R-rated adventure film. A better actress than one might think, Tawny Kitaen was quite amusing as the sensuous female deejay Nightbird on the syndicated TVer The New WKRP in Cincinnati, and even funnier as the voice of the whiny, obese feline Annabelle on the animated series Eek! The Cat.
