Bettie Page in coma

I'm sure many LJ friends are interested in this, one way or another.

Apparently Bettie Page has had a heart attack and is in intensive care in a coma. She is 85.

I'm bemused that the one you call SFW has a photo of Bettie, but the NSFW is Gretchen Mol.

Yes, I noticed that. Normally I try to drill through the blog posts to the original article, but since the photo attached to it was nSFW (lowercase n, not "N!") AND not actually Bettie, I gave both links.

Not that both photos don't have their own merit.

Sad to hear.

In case you hadn't heard, she died a few days later.

I had heard. Thanks.

I tried to obtain the ... was it Playboy? ... mag that she was interviewed in a few years back, but was not successful. Everyone who said "oh yeah -- that'll be easy to find for you" struck out. (I hadn't heard about it until it was off the shelves.)
