 |
|
Like a lot of people, I knew her more through her reputation and persona than through her actual work. I recall an undersground comic from the 90s, called Young Lust(edited by Susie Bright) that had a story about Bettie being kidnapped by Kim Jong Il.
Anyway...

LOS ANGELES - Bettie Page, the 1950s secretary-turned-model whose controversial photographs in skimpy attire or none at all helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, died Thursday. She was 85.

| Quote: |
Page, who was also known as Betty, attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure in bikinis and see-through lingerie that were quickly tacked up on walls in military barracks, garages and elsewhere, where they remained for years.
Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.
The latter helped contribute to her mysterious disappearance from the public eye, which lasted decades and included years during which she battled mental illness and became a born-again Christian.

| I wonder if she looked like she just walked out of Shangra-la on her deathbed. Just like that final scene from" The Lost Horizon" |
