We are saddened to report a death in the Heavy Metal family: Julie Strain lost her battle with late stage dementia on Sunday. She was a regular presence on Heavy Metal covers in the ‘90s, the inspiration for (and voice of) Julie in “Heavy Metal 2000” and “FAKK,” and muse to @oliviapinupart @luisroyoofficial Simon Bisley and others — and for a decade she was the wife of publisher Kevin Eastman. She was also an actress with over 100 credits (primarily the sexy/silly B-movies she loved) and Penthouse Pet of the Year. She was a glamazon warrior queen, she was our Taarna of the ‘90s, she was one of a kind. She was one of us. . #juliestrain #ripjuliestrain #heavymetalmagazine #heavymetal2000 #fakk2 #penthousepet #queenofthebs #screamqueen #bmovie #judgejulie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ7uUu8FWSI/?igshid=t2llnfn250hq
