A nurse famously photographed being kissed by an American sailor in New York's Times Square in 1945 to celebrate the end of World War Two has died at the age of 91, her family said on Tuesday.

That is my favorite image.

I hope her afterlife is not filled with total strangers grabbing her and kissing her hard.

That image says so much.

I love that image. It's possibly an Icon of Icons.

Because the only good thing in the Watchmen movie were the opening credits (and various fanvids) I really loved the transformative image of Silhouette and the nurse there (I hate WB for pulling all those videos).
