A sad day, yes, but she at least lived a long, full and adventurous life.

Not a bad innings, and she had the good grace to stop posing at the height of her... powers... thus leaving us with only the best memories.
There's a new star in Heaven tonight, and she's GORGEOUS!

She was my favorite pin up. Not to mention the huge impact that she had (and still has) on pop culture and Fashion. There are still thousands of women out there that, to this day, have the "Bettie" hairstyle. Women even DYE their hair black to look more like her.
She was well ahead of her time and I doubt we will see another like her anytime soon. Farewell Bettie!

Tis a sad day indeed She has always been one of my most favored pinups. On top of that she was one hell of a woman both physically and mentally. She will be sorely missed. I raise a drink in your honor Mrs. Paige! |

I hope to be famous enough one day that people mourn my death on the internet.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure we'll all mourn your death on the internet.

Clearly an icon for a reason. She has inspired an incredible following and reminded a then blond-obsessed world that brunettes can be absolutely stunning also.
We'll miss you.

We can all take comfort knowing she lived to a very old age and the legend will live on.

Mny years ago she took my mild interest in fetish and amped it to a full blown passion. Because of that I have had many very, happy and very satisfying encounters in my life, and I thank you Ms. Page.
Godspeed Betty.
