Post subject: Another legend passes

I am REALLY sorry to have to report this one...

"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.

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.

The Web site, BettiePage.com, logs about 20 million hits a month, Roesler said. A TVGuide.com poll recently placed Bettie Page as the "ultimate sex goddess," outscoring others such as Marilyn Monroe.

Page was born to a poor family in Tennessee on April 22, 1923. While her birth certificate spelled her name "Betty," she changed the spelling later in life to "Bettie."

You were a class act and a thing of beauty in an oftentimes ugly world, Bettie....you'll be missed.

She was an inspiration, and model for many a nose art painted on a warbird. I think we ought to open a thread in Kitty's with all the examples of her used as nose art that we can find. _________________ The only thing to do when a son-of-a-bitch looks cross-eyed at you is to beat the hell out of him right then and there

I would just like to add that I saw her first and am saddened by this news.
