Legendary Bettie Page Passes Away

Pin-up Bettie Page

Legendary pinup queen Bettie Page died of pneumonia at the age of 85 in a Los Angeles, California, hospital Thursday, a week after suffering a heart attack, according to her agent.

"She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality," said agent Mark Roesler in a written statement. "She is the embodiment of beauty."

Page, said to be one of the most photographed people of the past century, became a recluse in recent decades. Yet, her images continued to be used around the world to market Bettie Page action figures, clothing lines and other merchandise.

This post startled me. Somehow someone so you and lithe managed to turn 85 and die. This reminds me how fragile life is. And sweet.

Sandy -> She had a long life, but somehow time seems to go by so quickly. Thank you for stopping by. I have been trying to get all my pre-Christmas chores done, and had not much time for blogging this week.

One of the last glamor girls of WWII. God bless her and you for reminding us.
