KISSING SAILOR :: RIP The most iconic photo of kissing. 86 year old Glenn Edward McDuffie, the sailor kissing a nurse, Edith Shain, in Times Square in a famous World War II-era photo taken on Aug. 14, 1945 by a Life magazine photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt on V-J Day, has died. McDuffie was 18 then. McDuffie, who spent 50 years in Houston before moving in 2009 to North Texas to live with his daughter, spent his later years traveling the gun and air show circuits, signing copies of the famous photo for fans. Many women would ask to rec-reate the kiss with him, but they usually got to kiss his cheek, Gibson said. McDuffie enjoyed the celebrity status that came with him being identified as the sailor in the famous photo.
