Talented gorgeous actress Chauntal Lewis (The Commune) was in a terrible car accident on March 18th, 2009 and lost her left hand.

She's actually doing really well considering and we're grateful she's alive. She's being positive and making the most of it. Her The Commune director, Liz Fies, has already started writing her a cool action script in which she will play 'a beautiful, witty, noir superspy with an amazing mechanical hand'.

We're raising money for Chauntal's new prosthetic hand this Monday, April 20th in Los Angeles, California. Find out how you can help by contributing to the Chauntal Lewis Foundation or just lending some moral support...

Following closely the recent death of cult sex icon Bettie Page, Eartha Mae Kitt has passed away this morning at the age of 81 from colon cancer. Kitt was best beloved as the sexually charged and powerful black Catwoman on the 1960's TV series Batman and for her wild & husky 1953 rendition of the holiday song Santa Baby.  Kitt's genre film resume is also filled with horror and sci-fi film appearances like...

Lola Dede in the 2001 TV version of Anne Rice's Feast of All Saints, a cult leader in Ed Wood Jr.'s I Woke up Early The Day I Died, the goddess Freya in the Terry Gilliam fantasy Erik The Viking, and a Snake Preistess in 1985's The Serpent Warriors. Orson Welles once called her "the most exciting woman in the world" (and he'd slept with Rita Hayworth)...

Bettie Page, the gorgeous brunette and culty icon who gave Marilyn Monroe a run for her money, is dead. She was 85.

Page suffered from depression, violent mood swings, stays in mental asylums, and finally found God in her later years. She died Thursday evening at Kindred Hospital in Los Angeles. She had been on life support since Dec 2 when she'd suffered a heart attack.

"I want to be remembered," she said in an interview with Playboy Magazine in 2007, "as I was when I was young and in my golden times. . . . I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people's perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form."

1950's pinup and sex symbol Bettie Page is in intensive care after suffering from a heart attack last Tuesday, and was hospitalized on Friday.

"She's critically ill," Mark Roesler of the Curtis Management Group told The Associated Press.

The 85-year-old January 1955 Playboy centerfold, is said to be in a coma by family friend Todd Mueller. Page's playful sadomasochism and innocent dark beauty has made her a goddess to fans of everything retro, feminine, and alternative.

Everyone send well-wishes to this daring and inspiringly beautiful woman.
