The Queen of Pinups passed away tonight. As mentioned here previously, she recently fell into a coma. She never recovered.
Statement by Mark Roesler, business agent for Bettie Page:
With deep personal sadness I must announce that my dear friend and client Bettie Page passed away at 6:41pm PST this evening in a Los Angles hospital. She died peacefully but had never regained consciousness after suffering a heart attack nine days ago.
She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality. She is the embodiment of beauty.
