1980s music video vixen and nutso wife of pitcher Chuck Finley.

Bachelor Party, the Perils of Gwendolyn was worth sneaking downstairs after the lights were out and turning on Cinemax (if you know what I mean). Though she seemed very "different" in the Whitesnake videos.

She had a hot minute during and after Bachelor Party.

She is an O.J. alumna as well, no?

RIP to a...legend? No that’s not right...a chick who outlasted her 15 minutes of fame. That being said she was great in the underrated horror film Witchboard.

I'll always remember her from where I first saw her: As Tom Hanks' bride-to-be in "Bachelor Party," a guilty-pleasure movie if ever there was one.
Then she kind off fell off my radar for awhile until I saw the "Still of the Night" video and thinking to myself, "Is that who I think it is?"
And, then, we got to see from afar her personal soap opera with the likes of Coverdale, Chuck Finley, etc.
Not really a legend, but a quite attractive lady in her prime and someone who was able to carve out her own niche in pop culture. RIP.

Journey was light years better than f'n Whitesnake- limp hair band that peaked when Chuck Finley's 'star' career did

 

[playthrough]

Also was in the utterly forgettable "WKRP in Cincinnati" reboot.

Best actress... named Tawny

TMZ upgrades Chuck Finley to "baseball star". LOL

He played 16 years, made five all-star teams, won 200 games and finished with 2,600 strikeouts. Not a Hall of Famer, but he was certainly a recognizable name during the 1990s. "Star" seems like a fair description.

Why not? He does have 200 career wins, you know.

When this doesn't make your TMZ obit, you know it was bad.

Then who died, did not die and then did die a few months ago? Who was that actress? I thought that was her.

That was Tanya Roberts, of Charlie's Angels, Beastmaster and That '70 Show fame:

That happens all the time. Some benchwarmer does something to get in the news, and an outlet like TMZ refers to them as a star, though as Batman pointed out, it's not far off with Finley.

 

[qtlaw]

It’s like anything; everything is context, all due respect but I look at those photos now and she’s okay......but having lived as long as I have, you see comparable talent all around, grocery store, health club, airport. That’s life.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Chuck Finley was a five-time All Star so I’ll allow it.
