The woman in an iconic photograph that shows her kissing an ecstatic sailor in New York's Times Square to celebrate the end of World War II has died.
Greta Zimmer Friedman, who was 92, fled Austria during the war as a 15-year-old. She died on Thursday at a hospital in Richmond, Virginia, from complications from old age, her son, Joshua, said.
Friedman was a 21-year-old dental assistant in a nurse's uniform when she became part of one of the most famous photos of the 20th century.
