Yvette Vickers, photographed by none other than Russ Meyer of later sexploitation fame, became Playboy's Playmate of the Month for July 1959. Her film career never took off, but her unusual death brought her back into the news. On April 27, 2011, a neighbor, noticing yellowing envelopes in Vickers' mailbox, entered her Los Angeles home and discovered Vickers' mummified body in an upstairs room, where it had lain undisturbed for up to a year. "We've all been crying about this," the neighbor said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "Nobody should be left alone like that."
