Kim Kataine(1970-1999)
- Actress
A blonde, blue-eyed beauty, Pennsylvania-born Kim Kitaine was raised in
a very strict household, her father being a state trooper. Unwilling to
live by her family's rules, she left home on her 18th birthday and
moved to New York, where her stunning good looks soon landed her a job
as a stripper. While dancing in one of New York's top clubs she met
porn actress Lauren Brice, who was so impressed with Kim's looks and
demeanor that she suggested Kim head to L.A. and break into the adult
film business, which she did in 1991. Taking her last name from actress
Tawny Kitaen, Kim took the porn industry by storm. However, she left the
business after just a few years, came back in 1994, then left again. In
1996 she came back with a new attitude (and an "improved" body) and
during the next three years rose to the top of the business. However,
her health began to deteriorate and she started having seizures, one of
them resulting in an automobile crash.
On April 1, 1999, she was at home taking a shower when she suffered a severe seizure and collapsed to the bottom of the shower stall. The washcloth she had been using clogged the drain, and the unconscious Kim drowned.
