TMZ.com has reported that actress Shell Kepler passed away on Feb. 1. She is best known as nurse Amy Vining on General Hospital (she played the part from 1979 until 2002).Being a teenager in the early 80's, I was into many things. Star Wars, classic monsters, KISS, Marvel Comics and GENERAL HOSPITAL! I watched it after school every day. Luke, Laura, Robert Scorpio, Anna Devane, Duke Lavery, Noah Drake, Frisco & Felicia, Blackie, Frank Smith, The Cassidines, The Quartermaines, The Ice Princess and nurse Amy Vining. She never seemed to have a very big storyline, but she was always there for over 20 years.
According to the Medical Examiner's office, Kepler died of renal failure. IMDb says she was 46, the M.E. says she was 49.

How sad! I used to watch GH during the early 80s Luke & Laura heyday, and just loved Shell as Amy Vining.
Excellent blog.
Any chance that you'll be reposting the Ed Wood soundtrack sometime soon???
