I dunno if this is appropriate or not, but, OTOH, I believe other celebrities who have gotten messy for our entertainment have been given a final shout-out upon their passing.
The late Patty Duke got pied in some episode of "The Patty Duke Show". I never watched the show. But, I know that scene made the rounds on Hurley's and WAMTEC's cliptapes.
She was 16 when The Patty Duke Show started, and I had such a crush on her!
She was the cute, girl-next-door!
Then when the episode came on where she got pied, and splashed with water, and dumped (from a hammock, iirc) into a pool of water, she became my favorite TV teen!
(I'm not sure, but I *think* it may have been the episode called "The Dropout", where Richard (her BF) decides to drop out of school. The modeling job that caused all the above mentioned indignities was used in a magazine ad to fight dropping out.)
You beat me to this, Zoidberg, because I just spent the last 3 hours looking for that clip, to post it here!

Actually, the name of that episode was "The Perfect Teenager".
She must've had a hard life, because she was only 69 when she passed away, but she looked ten years older than my mother, and my mother is ten years older than Ms. Duke was.

R.I.P Ms. Duke.
Thanks, Jedi! I looked through the episode guides, and none of them mentioned her slapstick modeling gig.
That was an amazing episode to watch!
Yes, she had a VERY hard life, from the time she was a young child starting acting. And, yeah, unfortunately, it really showed as she got older.
Love you, too
