Los Angeles County coroners are trying to confirm that a badly decomposed body found in the home of former Playboy Playmate and B-movie actress Yvette Vickers is hers.
A neighbor discovered the body in a mummified state last week, police told the Los Angeles Times...
Neighbor Susan Savage told the Times she saw letters and cobwebs in Vickers’ mailbox before going into her neglected home in the Benedict Canyon area to discover what she believed to be the actress’s unrecognizable remains.

The neighbor says she had friends. Yeah, everyone needs friends like this.

As Honey Parker, good-time girl Vickers dates married man Harry Archer (William Hudson) but is killed by 50 foot woman Allison Hayes in the Allied Artists horror flick Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
Based on some stories yesterday, the house was closed up. And the homes aren't necessarily close together up in those canyons.
Anyone who’s remains are allowed to mummify before anyone notices they are missing is not exactly surrounded by friends. That is the sad part here.
I hope she died peacefully in her sleep at least, quickly. Rest in Peace. Sad that no one came to check on her. I worry about older people who live alone, especially if they don’t have anyone to check on them regularly.

LOL @ your pic!
This story is very sad to me. It’s terrible to read about older folks, even once famous ones, being forgotten by friends, neighbors and family.
