Greta Friedman, the woman kissed by a sailor in the iconic picture taken in New York city's Times Square after the Second World War ended in 1945, has died, a media report said
"My mom had so many stories and so many experiences; this was just one of many," Friedman said about the iconic photo. Friedman, then 21 and a dental assistant, was in Times Square when the news of Japan's surrender to the US was announced on a billboard, marking the end of the war, CNN reported.
The photo, taken by legendary photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt, was published in Life magazine a few weeks later. But the identities of the two people were a mystery. It was not until 1980 when both Friedman and George Mendonsa, the sailor in the photo, were determined to be the couple in the photo, CNN added.
