Do you remember Morganna, the Kissing Bandit? If not, she was a pop culture sensation for the better part of three decades due to the fact she planted kisses on the most well known and respected athletes. From Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan and George Brett to Charles Barkley and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, no athlete was off limits as Morganna would appear unannounced and steal a kiss. Perhaps her most famous incident was when she jumped the fence, sprinted across the field and kissed Rose back in 1969.

Here’s a clip of Morganna in action:

The infamous Kissing Bandit received a ton of media attention and she appeared in a variety of shows and made a bunch of cameos. Approximately 15 years ago, Morganna removed herself from the public eye. Nothing has been seen or heard of her as she slipped out of the spotlight as quickly as she leaped into it.

ESPN’s E:60 will shine the spotlight back on Morganna in a special interview on Friday, September 26th at 7:30pm ET. She’ll discuss what drove her to become the Kissing Bandit as well as why she ultimately decided to fade out of the limelight.

Here’s a clip of the E:60 episode:
