The Notorious Bettie Page

At least she lived to a ripe old age, though still sad that a woman known for her vibrant and energetic beauty would spend the last week of her life in a coma. Rest in Peace Bettie, you were the best and will be missed.


Bettie Page, the brunet pinup queen with a shoulder-length pageboy hairdo and kitschy bangs whose saucy photos helped usher in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, has died. She was 85.

Page, whose later life was marked by depression, violent mood swings and several years in a state mental institution, died Thursday night at Kindred Hospital in Los Angeles, where she had been on life support since suffering a heart attack Dec. 2, according to her agent, Mark Roesler.
