Bettie Page passes away

[SugaSweet]

She had a hard time of it her last few years.Many health problems but kept a positive spirit and still corresponded with friends in Nashville.She graduated from the same high school (Hume Fogg) which Dinah Shore graduated.Oprah Winfrey was going to go to Hume Fogg but her mother insisted she stay away from downtown Nashville and she instead went to East.You will read that Bettie also graduated from Peabody college which is true.Most Peabody college graduates are now considered Vanderbilt grads since Vanderbilt incorporated Peabody into their campus and curriculum around 1970.I know this is not directly related to the ts community,but I would guess a lot of the girls here are familiar with Bettie Page's work and the many decades of nostalgia surrounding this woman.

Um, no.

Bettie was stunning! IMO hotter than Marilyn Monroe.

i didnt mean it as a cut or anything..,, i mean she only modeled for 7yrs *granted she graced more mags then cindy crawford and marilyn monroe combined* but still..... after she stopped modeling you never heard from her again... i just assumed she died mysteriously or something

still very sad to hear that... her body was very hot. i would love those hips and stomach

She became a born again Christian and dropped out of modeling- in fact she had no idea how much of a star she had become until years later when was living on welfare.

She then took control of her name & image and cashed in on her fame.

You can look up her story online, and the HBO film about her life is very good.
