Nailpassion nostalgia: Susan Oliver

To many, Susan Oliver was the green woman who appeared in an early Star Trek episode and whose picture was shown at the end of many programs.

To the nail fans of the world she was probably the first time many had seen very long nails on a woman even if she was green.

Susan Oliver was only 58 when she died from cancer in 1990, but she was more than an actress; she was a director and had directed two episodes of M*A*S*H amongst other programs and she was also a qualified pilot.
 

FloJo: Nails On Thighs

September 21st 1998.

It’s 15 years since Florence Griffith Joyner died, aged 38. Most people think she died from performance enhancing drugs but the truth is she died from suffocation during a severe epileptic seizure. She was also found to have had a cavernous angioma, a congenital brain abnormality that made Joyner subject to seizures.

The Orange County coroner’s office noted that the autopsy records showed that she did not die from drugs or banned substances and that tissue and organ tests revealed none of the changes associated with steroid use.
