Tawny Kitaen, ‘Bachelor Party’ Actress And Whitesnake Video Vixen, Cause Of Death Revealed - Deadline

EARLIER: Tawny Kitaen, an actress whose stunning presence in two Whitesnake videos helped propel that band’s multiplatinum albums to No.

Director Marty Callner, who was behind the camera for the memorable Whitesnake videos, posted on Facebook about the time he met Kitaen.

Howard and John Kolodner asked me if I would direct a video for Whitesnake, on the cheap, because Geffen records had no money to put into the project.

“Near the end of the shoot, I knew we didn’t have a video, and in walks Tawny Kitaen to my house, with David, and I immediately asked her if she would be in the video.

“Whitesnake ended up saving Geffen Records, we went onto make groundbreaking videos, including ‘Here I Go Again’ & ‘Is This Love.’ They sold millions of records, and Tawny became a bigger superstar than she already was.”.

After her video success, she married Whitesnake lead singer David Coverdale in 1989.
