First of all, there was no point in this book being put out except for cashing in. I tried to tell myself after reading about Bettie's life going downhill after she loses her looks and her struggles with serious mental illness, almost killing someone, etc wasn't true but I couldn't quite convince myself. And I'd give anything not to have seen that horrible mug shot of her, which you can't deny is authentic. Though I did see a picture of her when she was 40 or so and still looked stunning. I don't want to remember her like that. I bought "The Life Of a Pin-Up Legend" a few years ago which was endorsed by Bettie and was lucky enough to get a copy she had signed. I saw a special (they talk about it in the book, jeering at it) a while ago where they actually interviewed her and she sounded like such a sweet little old lady, and said she didn't allow photos of her and kept to herself now because she would rather have her fans "remember her as she was". I feel like a total slimy jerk for not respecting her wishes and buying this piece of exploitative trash. For this, I would like to offer Ms. Page my deepest apologies, and I'll stick with her story she has given. I'm sorry, Bettie. And I will remember her like she was.

This book is based around lies. Bettie Page herself claimed this book to be untrue in many ways. If you want the TRUE story of Bettie's life I suggest you buy Bettie Page : The Life of a Pin-Up Legend!!! It is excellent!!!!!

Sorry to tell this to customer reviewers who prefer to ignore the sadder facts of Bettie's life, but she really did disappear from public view as a result of a slide into madness and violence. Foster's book is the first discussion of the FACTS of Page's life, rather than of the image and the fantasy. Admittedly, he's not an elegant writer, but that's more than compensated for by his skills as a researcher. His book is the result of a clear-eyed examination of the life of a woman he clearly likes and for whom he clearly has a great deal of sympathy. Bettie comes across as mostly sympathetic -- even as she falls into darkness. If the truth matters more to you than the image, read this book.
