"Mummified Body of Former Playmate Found in L.A. Home":
LOS ANGELES -- The mummified body of a former Playboy playmate who once starred in the cult film "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman" was found in her Los Angeles home, police said Monday.
Yvette Vickers, 82, was discovered by a neighbor in an upstairs room of her home in Benedict Canyon on April 27.
She had not been seen for a long time and police believe she may have been dead for close to a year.
Neighbor Susan Savage said: "We've all been crying about this. Nobody should be left alone like that."
The official cause of death has not yet been determined but police do not suspect foul play.
Vickers, who appeared as the July 1959 playmate in Playboy magazine, featured in several B-grade films including "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman" and "Attack of the Giant Leeches."

Born in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, Yvette majored in picture and theatre arts at UCLA for three years. On a trip to New York in the mid-fifties she was cast as the White Rain Girl in commercials. She returned to the West Coast, working in various TV shows until she debuted in her first movie, Short Cut to Hell (1957), James Cagney's first directing effort. After doing a half dozen more movies through the end of the 1950s, the blonde, blue-eyed actress appeared once in 1963 in Hud (1963), in What's the Matter with Helen? (1971), and in the TV movie The Dead Don't Die (1975) (TV).
