Kymberly Herrin, an actress and Playboy Playmate best known for her brief role as an enchanting ghost in 1984’s “Ghostbusters,” has died at the age of 65.
The Santa Barbara News-Press published an obituary stating that Herrin had passed away peacefully in her home in Santa Barbara, California, on Oct. 28.
Herrin’s niece, Theresa Ramirez, shared a photo on Facebook of her aunt with her two late sisters with the caption: “They are all together now. Aunt Kymberly Herrin. I love you.”
Herrin was a model and an actress, appearing on magazine covers as well as feature films. Her most memorable onscreen moment was her brief portrayal of a “dream ghost” during a montage midway through Ivan Reitman’s original “Ghostbusters.” It was an infamously R-rated joke in a PG-rated movie (a year before the PG-13 came into existence), one that was lost on most kids first watching the film at a young age.
