She is a marvelous lady... and and I hope this rare video tribute will bring joy to her fans who are praying for her
It was a deep honor for me to have been one of the few people Bettie Page ever allowed to interview her at length... and I'm DEEPLY indebted to her... for her trust in letting me be the only reporter... she ever let interview her for an in-depth TV chat about her own life.
She was more than a beautiful "pin-up" model... as you'll hear in the interviews, in her own words... she was also a marvelous and lovely woman - truly "inside and out". A wonderful soul.
God bless you Bettie - I love you... and Thank You.

Her Christian conversion was incredibly insincere. She is born again... Yet doesn't want to be photographed in old age because she wants people to remember her when she was young. That is, with raven bangs and her legs spread. Being "born again" means leaving all that behind, not building it into a legend. And when she does get photographed, it's with Pamela Anderson.
She was the Madonna of her time, but in a way even worse. She made pornography and even sadomasochism look cute and fun, like it was no big deal. Just a bit of girlish glee.
