Model Bettie Page hospitalized after heart attack

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bettie Page, one of the most notable models of the 20th century, is hospitalized in intensive care after suffering a heart attack in Los Angeles.

Mark Roesler, Page's agent and attorney, says Friday that the 85-year-old is "critically ill." He says she suffered a heart attack Tuesday and remains hospitalized.

He would not comment further on her condition.

Page is credited with helping set the stage for the sexual revolution of the rebellious 1960s. She attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure in bikinis and lingerie that were tacked up on walls in military barracks, garages and elsewhere.

2. I love Betty Page!

I know, I know, the psuedo-feminists on this board are probably going to trash the hell out of her for being a tool, which is too bad. Personally, I think what she did for women was actually LIBERATE them by making it OK for women to express their sexuality. She actually later became a minister and was not at all ashamed (nor should she be) of her past. May the goddess be with you, Betty.

4. This feminist LOVES Betty Page.

Her own acknowledgment of her sexuality IS liberating.

I've never understood the puritan wing of the feminists.

Then again, I don't really consider them feminists.

7. Hence, the label

"pseudo-feminists." The "lib" in "Women's Liberation" INCLUDED sexual liberation. It had nothing to do with being a tool and everything to do with celebrating our sexuality.
