Absolutely Stunning covers

By this time in her career Bettie or Betty was fast becoming the most sought after pin-up model in the world. nbsp Yet very sadly, Bettie never received any of the royalties she was due from her success. nbsp Most of the magazines she appeared inside or even on the front cover, never paid her a dime during the 0 s. Then suddenly, at the height of her fame in the late 0 s, she was gone. Disappeared completely from public life and could not even be located for decades. By anyone. It was a true mystery.It turns out that on one depressing New Years Eve after a fight with her boyfriend , nbsp she heard the sound of singing in a nearby church, walked in and committed her life to following Jesus. That night she walked away from modeling immediately and completely, and instead committed her life to following God. But it was not easy for her and she lived a very difficult life, trying to be a wife, to do what she thought was right, battling her inner demons. She remarried her first husband at the advice of her church only to find that it was worse then ever. She remarried and tried to raise another man s children but there were difficulties she could not cope with and left. Eventually she experienced a nervous breakdown, spending time in jail and then in a mental institution before eventually finding some sort of peace in her life. nbsp It was not until her very late in her older age that Hugh Hefner became aware of her desperate financial situation and used his abilities to intervene on her behalf, allowing her to be paid a percentage from all of the distributers currently using her images freely. As popular as she was in the 0 s through early 0 s, the Bettie Page images and look became an icon in the 0 s through the present time, creating a world wide following that absolutely stunned her. nbsp
