Nurse from Iconic Picture of Kissing Sailor Dies at Age 91
Today, Edith Shain, the iconic nurse who was photographed kissing an American sailor in Times Square, died today. The picture was taken on August 14,1945 after President Truman announced the war was over. The picture was first published in Life Magazine. After she was noted as the woman in the now famous picture, Shain was frequently invited to memorials, wreath-layings, and parades. She died at age 91 in her home in Los Angeles. She leaves behind three sons, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
