Nurse in Iconic World War II Kiss Photograph Dies
A former nurse who inadvertently became part of an iconic World War Two photograph when she locked lips with a celebrating US sailor has died, her family confirmed Wednesday.
Edith Shain, 92, passed away at her home in Los Angeles on Sunday, some 65 years after her passionate embrace with a serviceman celebrating the end of World War Two became one of the most famous photos in history.
Shain was a nursing student in New York on August 14, 1945, when radio networks announced the surrender of the Japanese.
