The real Bettie Page

This is the true, never-before-told story of America's favorite pinup queen, former Playboy centerfold Bettie Page. Much has been written about Page's modeling and early life, but virtually nothing has been said of her later years. Here for the first time, told in a taut, novelistic style, using interviews with those who knew her (many of whom have never before told their stories) - and illustrated with rare photos - is the complete Bettie Page. The Real Bettie Page tells the compelling tale of Bettie's rise from her modest beginnings in Nashville and adds new insight into her stormy marriages, her trial for attempted murder, her descent into madness, and her decade-long isolation behind asylum walls.
