Dia De Los Muertos: Bettie Page Has Died

Pin-up and actress Bettie Page has died at the age of 85 a week after suffering from a heart attack. She fell into a coma and finally passed away last night at a hospital in Los Angeles. Her business agent, Mark Roesler, wrote the following on her official site:

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 Angeles 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.

We’ve always loved Bettie Page and considered her the forerunner to cholas’ style. R.I.P Bettie!
