Looks like it is for real this time. It is confirmed on her FB by her caregiver.

RIP to Kevin Eastman's former spouse, athletic bodybuilding actress/stuntwoman, and Annihilator 2000 firing girl from Beverly Hills Cop 3.

Second re-retracted celebrity passing story this year already, first Tanya Roberts, now her.

Turns out the poor woman had suffered brain damage from a horse riding accident back in her 20s, which resulted in dementia. I was never aware of that, but I am all too familiar of dementia, as it seems to run in my family.

She seems to have lived an adventurous life. Good for her and RIP.

The first time I've ever heard about Kevin Eastman was in a review of the PC videogame Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 inside an Italian videogame magazine from 2000. The character of the game was based on Julie and a photo of her in very skympy clothes was on one of the pages. A little box with information about Eastman was also present along with a little photo of him with the mustache. That was the exact moment I discovered about the existence of the Mirage comics wich I would have been able to read only years later. My first thought was: "Oh, so this is the creator of the Turtles I used to play when I was a kid. And a comics-guy like him managed to marry a girl like THAT? Wow!"

RIP Julie.

That's tragic.

May Julie rest in peace.

Condolances to mr Eastman :(
