Carla Himes, known to many of you as adult fim star Eartha Quake, passed away
Monday in Hemet, California. Initial reports from family members suggest
complications during the fifth month of her second pregnancy in two years.
Carla underwent weight-loss surgery in 1996 and recently had experienced health
problems involving her spleen and iron retention. An autopsy will be performed
to determine the exact cause of death.
As supersized supervixen Eartha Quake, she starred in several well-known
titles, including "Much More To Love" and "When The Fat Lady Sings". Fans were
enthralled with her bountiful proportions and exotic looks.
Carla and I met during the filming of "Much More To Love", and remained good
friends long after that. We had lost touch in the last 18 months (she moved
out of the area), but never failed to keep up on each other through mutual
friends. Her sweet, gentle nature and beautiful countenance will be what I
remember most about her. I'm sure I speak for her many appreciative fans and
dear friends when I say she will be sorely missed.
