Hi fellow members, picked up this piece of news in the papers, a very small news item tucked away in the corner of a page:
"...on December 6, 2008, Page was hospitalized in critical condition according to Mark Roesle, her long-time friend and business agent. Roesle was quoted by the Associated Press as saying Page had suffered a heart attack and by Los Angeles television station KNBC as claiming Page was suffering from pneumonia . A family friend said Page was in a coma, a claim not denied by Roesle. Page died on December 11, 2008, having been on continuous life support since her heart attack in early December..."
In my honest and humble opinion Betty Page was a woman who was one of the "girl power" kind,
especially in an era when people were offended by seeing a navel... She made a complete
art of the profession she was in, and has been an example to many in the scene.
I bet she will be missed! A shame her death is placed in the shadow of other "more important news".
