And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
-Bob Dylan
ROXANNE BREWER - March 1941- Oct. 1987
I've recently been in touch with a member of Roxanne's family and received word that our wonderful Roxy passed away October 1987, due to a heart condition probably linked to rheumatic fever she contracted as a teenager. She died peacefully at her home in Minneapolis. She was only 46.
It`s unfortunate she was never able to realize the vast number of fans she had. From the many, many emails I've received, as well as the number of hits to this site, it's obvious she had a large and devoted fan base.
Her stunning looks, amazing figure, famous mound of hair, slight overbite, sensuality, and her sense of humor - exhibited in many photos as well as her film appearances (a good example is her role as the "tennis player" in Deep Jaws) - speaks of a winning mixture of sexuality, beauty and a sense of fun.
At the request of her family I've been asked not to reveal any private information about her life (Roxanne Brewer was not her real name) and I certainly respect their wishes. I can say that she left home after high school and an early marriage, and eventually found her way to Los Angeles during the early 70's, where she began her modeling career. For a time she also toured Alaska, most probably doing her bathtub act. Her professional career ended sometime in the mid 80's possibily with her photo session in Gent 1980 (see gallery 7).
It´s enough to say that she brought a lot enjoyment to many many people, cheered us when we needed it, and gave some lonely people something they could look forward to...her next appearance. I was one of those, and for that I will always be grateful there was a Roxanne Brewer in my life. I think many, many others would feel the same. Thank you Roxy, you´ll be forever in our hearts.
