(Los Angeles, California) Pin-up star from yesteryear, Bettie Page, had a heart attack and died yesterday at a Los Angeles hospital. She was 85.I've heard that she was quite popular and somewhat controversial since she posed in revealing attire. One source offered:
Who the heck is Bettie Page, you ask?The real Bettie Page is gone but her images will live forever. Rest in peace.
Only the most famous pinup queen of all time.
She’s the saucy brunette who got her start posing for amateur camera clubs in lingerie, bathing suits, eventually buck naked. Then she moved into the more lucrative S&M scene and was photographed wielding whips and chains, wearing fetish fashions, corsets, garters and stiletto boots.
And this was in the '50s!
After her brief modeling career was destroyed by a national scandal and federal investigation into pinup porn, Bettie virtually disappeared from the public eye.
