Default XJS owners with tragic ends

I was posting over on the "girls in Jaguars" topic in the "Of Topic" forum and noticed that two out of the three Playboy playmates that choose XJS as cars met tragic ends:

Dorothy Stratten-playmate of the year 1980-killed in 1980 by her crazy boyfriend:

Anna Nicole Smith-playmate of the year 1993-drug OD After her sons death

And then of course you have The Princess of Wales:

Thanks for cheering us up!
Hopefully there are more girls out there with an XJS who won't meet a tragic end.

That's cool, any other famous owners out there?
I think that Sarah Ferguson is actually dognapping that puppy.

It's hard to tell which is the most beautiful: The ladies or the cars.

For me that sentiment is particular to Dorothy Stratten, Anna Nicole, Barbara Edwards and specially Jerry Hall.
