This is sad news indeed. She has always been one of my favorite pin-ups gals. If people want to see more of her pin-ups, I have a gallery on my website: http://www.javasbachelorpad.com/webber.html

I watched that Youtube clip. Very cool. She was very beautiful. Swam real good in that mermaid gear, too.

Hubba Hubba. and R.I.P.

Webber was very, very recognizable wherever she happened to pop up...in a magazine, on an album cover, in a movie. She did some wonderful things. RIP.
