I think she was queen of the B films in the late 80's and early 90's, and I remember a few of them. Her big claim to fame was being married to the lead singer of Whitesnake David Coverdale. RIP. https://people.com/music/tawny-kitaen-dead-at-59/

Saw that. I always got her mixed up with Tia Carrere for some reason. She did a great job in "Witchboard." She seemed to have quite a bit of personal problems. Sorry to hear about this.
She was hot................for a short while.
I remember her from some TV show and she dated OJ Simpson from from 1989 to 1991.
Just watched her in Bachelor Party last night as a tribute. She was so hot back then. She actually cheated on David Coverdale when she was married to him - with OJ Simpson! Then was abusive to her next husband Chuck Finley. She was a hot mess. I saw someone mention on-line somewhere that she may have died from pneumonia, but I guess we'll have to wait for the actual reports to come out to know for sure...
I am wondering if it's heart issues caused by her years of drug abuse...RIP Tawny.
I finally realized why she seemed so familiar. Tawny Kitaen is not Nikki Cox.
EDIT- Is Nikki Cox her real name? Is it a nom de cine, maybe? If it is, why does it sound like a porn name?
She was also in the soap opera "Santa Barbara" for a few years as "Lisa DiNapoli". At one point, another actress stepped into the role while Ms. Kitaen had to take time of for something. TK's fill in was a then-unknown Téa Leoni. I know Tawny Kitaen had her demons. I hope she is at peace now.
I keep getting flashes of her co-hosting some 90s funny video show similar to AFV on Sunday nights. It wasn't Probably getting her mixed up with somebody else.
Tawny did host “America’s Funniest People.”
Tawny was the nickname she gave herself when she was 14 years old.
Finally got her cause of death in:

Looks like heart issues...
With all the drugs in her system I am going to say enlarged heart due to drug use, Yes I know those are legal drugs to treat depression and one is a seizure med, each of those has a risk of heart issues if taken in excess.
