Thread: Bettie Page in Coma

  1. #1

    Default Bettie Page in Coma

    "Bettie Page – yes, that Bettie Page – is gravely ill after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles over the weekend. A family friend even tells the AP that Page, now 85, is currently in a coma.

    Once the greatest of all magazine pin-up girls in the ’50s, Page was the inspiration for most girls you see who dye their hair black and wear bangs. (Silent film vamp Louise Brooks was the inspiration for the rest.)

    But Bettie eventually got religion and disappeared from sight for decades. Even after she was tracked down by fans a few years ago, she’s remained camera-shy. I’ve never seen a contemporary photo of her, and that’s probably for the best. We’d all prefer to remember Bettie as she once was.

    Still, I hope Ms. Page regains her health. After all the joy she’s given the world, she deserves it."

    Kinda strange..and ironic..because I wore a Bettie Page shirt yesterday..

    she's had health problems for a while now. she has lived a full life and inspired many. if this is the end, she will be truly missed.

    on another subject, I saw photos of her a few years ago at a plyboy party at hugh's house. I don't have links, but swear they exist.

    either way, I wish her well. she was an icon. I just don't know where louise brokks fits in there. brooksie was the 1920's, bettie was the 1960's. its a far stretch.

    I think he was just talking about the common inspiration for girls who dye their hair black and wear bangs. ^_^

    Not too bad for 85...

    Some 85 year olds look like skeletons.

    yeah looks pretty good for her age...
    still.... how sad.
    i guess if she's in a coma, she's not feeling pain... idk about that stuff.
    *wishing her the best*
    she's been such a huge inspiration to many, and i admire her greatly. an icon for the whole pin-up industry.

    Apparently she just passed away. An accomplished life for sure though.
