Beverly Hills, 90210 and V.I.P. actor Kimmarie Johnson has died from a “heart aneurysm condition.”
Johnson’s niece Rhonda Scott told TMZ that her aunt was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital on Oct 27 after suffering a medical episode in her Los Angeles home. Her heart stopped beating on Oct 28.
Scott appears to be referring to an aortic aneurysm, which the Centers for Disease Control describe as a dangerous balloon-like bulge in “the large artery that carries blood from the heart through the chest and torso.”
She appeared on an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1998 as a guest named Judy, according to IMDb. In 2000, she was on an episode of the Pamela Andersons series V.I.P. credited as Kim Marie Johnson. That same year she landed a small part in the Ashton Kutcher film Dude, Where's My Car?
“People who came in contact with her felt nothing but positive energy,” Scott told People.
The Pennsylvania native said in a 2025 Voyage LA interview that she moved to Los Angeles to act and model after winning a beauty pageant in her home state. Johnson said that being a mentor to other women was important to her.
“I’ve not had one so I lend myself to young ladies often,” she said. “There are so many things that can be avoided if you know what they are.”
She founded a holistic beauty brand called SkinGlow by Kimmarie in 2011.
Johnson is survived by her son Cameron Nino, who was born in 2003, according to E! News. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
