The mummified remains of model-turned-actress Yvette Vickers has been found in her Los Angeles home.
Police experts suggest the one-time Playboy Playmate may have died alone a year ago. Her body was discovered by a curious neighbour last week (27Apr11).
The 82 year old appeared in classic B-movies Attack of the 50-Foot Woman and Attack of the Giant Leeches.
The neighbour who found Vickers' corpse tells the Los Angeles Times the actress was in an upstairs room of her dilapidated Benedict Canyon home.
