That's why i've always loved Melinda Miles SOOOO much! Cause she reminds me of "Bettie Page" style pin-ups! Hope Bettie pulls through...
Sad to hear of Betty's health hope she makes a great recovery! Best wishes and prays go out to the most loved pin-up ever!!! In my opinion Bernie Dexter is pretty close to a Betty Page look-a-like!
Wishing Bettie the very best and a full and speedy recovery. She is the ONLY "person" framed poster I have hanging in the house. She is in the bedroom and I see every night before I turn the light off. One amazing woman with all the right curves in all the right places.
The late Dave"Rocketeer"Stevens would be right by her side if he was still with us. He is the guy who made sure that Bette got her royalties on much of what sells as merchandise. Godspeed Miss Page on a speedy recovery. Strokes suck!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the most immediately recognizable pinup of all time. She truly has touched a lot of people's lives over the years.

My dad had a few magazines with her pinups in them when I was a kid and I would , manage to check them out when I went on my weekends with dad in my early teens. Classy lady who did it her way. May she have a speedy recovery.
I was in london years ago in a memorabilia shop and I saw her just sitting at a table signing some photos for the shop itself. She was older but it was still totally her. Neat to actually see her. Best wishes.
Why is Madonna even mentioned in this? Madonna should not even be thought about in the same thoughts as Bettie Page. I totally agree she is a poser at best. Just my .02
That's exactly why she's mentioned. Her (madonna) being the icon she is 'now', when in reality, she's really a knock-off of the originator of fetish and sultry cheesecake modeling. Many people today have no sense of history. And it takes a good eye and people with refined tastes to admire true beauty.
Damn, not that Bette Page. May she Rest In Peace. Now heaven will really be worth going to! I take that back, i wish her a speedy recovery....
AP this morning.... Bettie Page, a 1950s pinup known for her raven-haired bangs and saucy come-hither looks, was hospitalized in intensive care after suffering a heart attack, her agent said Friday."She's critically ill," Mark Roesler of CMG Worldwide told The Associated Press. He said the 85-year-old had been hospitalized for the last three weeks with pneumonia and was about to be released when she had the heart attack Tuesday. Page was transferred to another hospital in Los Angeles and remained in intensive care Friday. A family friend, Todd Mueller, said Page was in a coma. When asked to confirm, Roesler said, "I would not deny that," but he would not comment further on her condition.
An icon for sure, who not just defined the genre, but practically invented it. Prayers for a full recovery.
