Pin-up heartthrob of the 1950's Bettie Page has died. Many iconic personalities defined American culture, John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Babe Ruth, Frank Sinatra or Elvis, Bettie Page's influence still exists in large within eccentric circles. As a longtime fan of hers, I still find it sad that in the midst of her heyday, she quit. Her modeling intrigued the country, and angered many as well. Her photos, while beautiful, were often risque. Photographers Irving Klaw and Bunny Yeager had two separate visions for the star to be. The former saw a model willing to pose with props such as whips and leather, the latter saw the beauty. Bettie resurfaced in the 1990's, but only to give occasional interviews, and would not allow any photos to be taken. At age 85, Bettie Page's years came to an end after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles, where she never regained consciousness. As I stated, I am a longtime fan, and still have wonderful photos here in my office...Thank you Bettie
