There was some talk of her being rushed to a hospital on one of the hmm, less kiddy friendly forums i go to.
I only know her photos, not what she did after the Pin-Up modelling, but that woman has been the inspiration for generations of young boys and men alike.
RIP, Betty

Don't worry, it's the thought that counts.
I wanted to post the devil pose rockabilly pic, but can't find the one where she's wearing a bra, damn  .
Without her the bunettes wouldn't stand a chance with blondes. And the redheads don't need to worry about the competition anyway.

It is very informative about pinup culture and "men's literature" of the early 1950's. The movie shows her as sort of naive about being a pinup which I find hard to believe. The woman had to have known she had a nice body and that men enjoyed looking at her.

Rest in peace, Bettie!

RIP Bettie | nope, it's not urban lenged. I saw a documentary where she herself was talking about it ...can't remember the name of it, though, it was a few years ago. I'm sure it was one of those hardcore gone astray from The Book churches.

Cool movie, and Gretchen is as much a beauty as Bettie Page was. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
