Sorta in mourning about the passing of 60's cult film actress Tura Satana. I've got a lot of friends who knew her personally & yesterday when the news broke, my FB blew up with the news. From all that knew her, she was a great lady. I've been pouring over YouTube interviews with her & just watched one posted by the NY Times.

Tura was best known for the leading role in Russ Meyer's classic film, Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!

She was a very sweet lady, but wouldn't blink an eye to take your head off if you deserved it, either.

The cause of death was reported to be heart failure. She was 72.

Details were sketchy on the cause of death yesterday, but today's Obit in the NY Times mentioned heart failure. This leads me to my main reason for posting this thread & I mean no disrespect for Tura, but isn't *every single case* of death, caused by heart failure??

My friend Jason Croft publishes this magazine & hosts the weekly radio show that I post links to from time to time. Here's a piece he wrote on Tura, complete with many historic photos.

RIP Tura Satana
