RIP Bettie Page: 1923-2008

By Jill Harness in Everything Else on Dec 12, 2008 at 11:25 pm

Pin up star Bettie Page passed away last night after suffering a heart attack on December 2. She was 85 years old.

Bettie was a beautiful woman and a wonderful icon, her work was influential to pin up girl pictures, art and women in general. She will be missed, but her legacy will not be forgotten.

The LA Times has a great biography with more information on her life and her influence on society.

    This is a sad day, because Bettie was a true icon, no matter what her age.
