Kymberly Herrin, the former Playboy Playmate who appeared in an infamous sex scene in the classic movie Ghostbusters, has died at the age of 65, according to the Santa Barbara News-Press.
The outlet reported on Tuesday that Herrin passed away peacefully on October 28 in Santa Barbara, California. A cause of death has not been publicly revealed.
California native Herrin, who resided in Santa Barbara up until her death, according to the paper's obituary, graced the covers of several magazines, and also made appearances in such enduring classic 1980s movies as Romancing the Stone and the original Ghostbusters.
In Ghostbusters, which was released in 1984, Herrin appeared as a ghost who had a suggested tryst with Dan Aykroyd's character Ray Stantz.
While Stanz dreamed, the alluring apparition was seen hovering above his bed before undoing his belt buckle. The scene suggested that the ghost had performed a sex act on Stantz.
During an interview with Polygon in 2021, Aykroyd recounted the sequence as he remembered working with Herrin.
"Yes, I remember the woman who played that. Her name was Kym Herrin, and she was a Playboy Playmate. She played the ghost. Like, I wish they'd let that scene go a little longer," he said.
Aykroyd went on to state that such a scenario is not particularly far-fetched.
"Sexual encounters with spirits are very, very common," he added. "And there are some people that I know that have a house that have a presence and they don't try to purge it. They say, You know what, I'm going to stay with it and I'll live with it."
