Tawny Kitaen

Biography: This '80s sex symbol became a music video vixen after a sultry lingerie-wearing appearance on the hood of a car in Whitesnake's video for the single "Here I Go Again." After doing small parts on TV and in films (she was Tom Hanks' bride-to-be in Bachelor Party), this former model briefly wed Whitesnake front man David Coverdale. During their relationship, she appeared in a number of the heavy metal band's music videos. In the '90s, she snagged a few low-rent gigs (cohost of America's Funniest People, recurring roles on The New WKRP in Cincinnati and Hercules) but was more famous for being accused of attacking her second hubby, baseball pitcher Chuck Finley. When Finley filed for divorce, Kitaen admitted to drug problems and was required to undergo substance abuse and anger-management counseling. After being out of the public eye for a couple of years, she made a messy return in 2006 when she signed on to VH1's "celebreality" show The Surreal Life.
