ETA: A goodbye here and from Metroblogging Los Angeles:

Vampira, aka Maila Nurmi

With a heavy heart I deliver the sad news that our friend Maila Nurmi, famous for her portrayal of Vampira, has passed at age 86.

Maila passed away peacefully in her sleep at home.

Funeral arrangements are pending legal steps as Maila had no relatives. Her friends are trying to get her a spot at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and will likely plan some sort of hearse procession for her.

Isn't "passed away" merely _provisional_?

We are talking about Vampira, now.

She apparently died of natural causes at home. Which isn't such a bad way to go.

I hope she gets buried in the Hollywood Cemetary. She was definitely a Hollywood icon.
