Woman in iconic WWII Times Square kiss photograph dies at 92
NEW YORK (AP) — The woman who was kissed by an ecstatic sailor in Times Square celebrating the end of World War II has died at the age of 92.
Greta Zimmer Friedman's son says his mother died Thursday at a hospital in Richmond, Virginia. She died from complications of old age, he said.
Friedman was a 21-year-old dental assistant in a nurse's uniform on Aug. 14, 1945, known as V-J Day, the day the Japanese surrendered. People spilled out into the streets from restaurants, bars and movie theaters in New York City when they heard the news. That's when George Mendonsa spotted Friedman, spun her around and planted a kiss on her. The two had never met.
In fact, Mendonsa was on a date with an actual nurse, Rita Petry, who would later become his wife.

I was guessing he was just some clueless adolescent, but, like I said to Stinky, if had to be said.
