1950s pinup model Bettie Page dies in LA at 85

Digg Facebook Newsvine del.icio.us Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Yahoo! Bookmarks Print 3 mins agoLOS ANGELES � Bettie Page, a 1950s pinup model who helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, has died. She was 85.

Her agent Mark Roesler says Page died Thursday night at a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a heart attack nine days ago. He says she never regained consciousness.

Page attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure in bikinis and see-through lingerie that were quickly tacked up on walls across the country. Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.

Roesler says Page had been hospitalized for three weeks with pneumonia and was about to be released when she suffered the heart attack Dec. 2.

despite the recent movie I think I thought she'd died decades ago. -- nm - Max Dec 11, 19:32 2
- if not for Dave Stevens & Rocketeer, almost nobody would know of her. she'd just be another of the 1950's nudie models -- nm - black peter Dec 11, 19:57
