  • wow what an accent! i wish i can find something on her in the 40s talking. shes a legend

  • I love this <3

  • Thank you Tim Estiloz for this excellent interview.

  • the worse thing to hear from people who dont know anything about bettie page pin up is when they see bettie page and say "she just copied Katy Perry"

  • @deadpinez That's just plain wrong lol

  • @deadpinez who would say that? chronologically, that isn't even feasible

  • great interview thanks for the upload

  • Dude this woman's face is so out of this world, that (because it was sometimes seen drawn) i always thought it was made up

  • Bettie did agree to be photographed a few years after this interview... when she was at a party at Hugh Hefner's mansion in Bel Aire. Yes, she looked like a woman of her age... but I gotta tell ya's, her face was still 100% Bettie Page. The same intense eyes, that same adorable smile, the same effervescence.

    She was an anomaly... definitely one of a kind. There will never be another Bettie Page. I'm willing to bet that in a hundred years, people will still have Bettie pin-ups on their walls.

  • RIP Bettie. My great inspiration. She is still the image of beauty and sweetness in my mind and I wish i coulda met her.

  • she sounds kinda ghetto,you know like back water.kinda cute.even as an old lady.when i lived in the south. there's a million Bettie Paige types.black white or in between.especially in that rockabilly/fettish scene.

  • @blaztradiouz666 it says 1996

  • I am using this video as a resource for a paper on Betty Page. Does anyone know what year this video was recorded?

    Thanks! :)

  • @BriC92 1996 :)

  • OMG! Way before my time....Who was this girl?

    She makes Marilyn Monroe look like a boy!!!

  • I'm with Bettie, she's smart - People are people and usually cruel. I wouldn't want to expose my looks at 73 either. We all get old no one can defy the test of time! Yes Bettie stay pretty! And pretty girls need to enjoy what they have while they have it!

  • bettie page is more classy than katie perry. katy is just a dumb whore.

  • @PowerCrumb45 AMEN!

  • Comment removed

  • Yea hell  with Marilyn Monroe . She doesn't have a chance w/ betty page!!!

  • She was slutty for her time. I did not know the types of photos Bettie did, was even allowed in the 1950's. She's very pretty but i'm sorry she's slutty. That's why I love Elizabeth Taylor!!!! She's classy not trashy! =)

  • i wish i could see her just to see if i will age as well as she; all girls probably wonder how we'll look older...I love her and am grateful for the legacy she left us! long live Bettie!

  • This is EXACTLY who Katy Perry tries to be like. R.I.P Bettie. We love u.

  • What show is this? Does it still air?

  • Man i would love to have seen her face :(

  • since when was 7 years short

  • ROSETTA WEST

  • @MsMariah61 She really is. she even tries to do the bettie smile :/ basically just copying her mannerisms. ugh, and she is seen as one of the top pin up models! why!

    Oh, okay. I agree though, i adore dita and i see her as a beauty icon.

  • @MsMariah61 Oh, god. HER! I remember seeing her on some pin up clothing site some years ago and thinking "what a cheap rip off of Bettie Page"

  • @MsMariah61 I'm aware she used to model as a Bettie Page lookalike, that was just for modeling, for the cameras.. so the ones on her site would be from that time :) even though she was copying for that, I doubt she was trying to be all Bettie Page in her every day life aside from the hair. I would love to have that style of hair, but suppose that means I would be copying...

    i think im gonna have to look up this bernie person you keep talking about. see what you mean

  • I love the way he's looking at her when she's talking.. like he's mesmerized by her

  • @MsMariah61 I do not know the other people you have mentioned but I would say that Dita isn't copying but being inspired by the vintage styles. people get inspired by lots of things, including old pin up models. nothing wrong with that

    but copying it completely like the Bernie person you mentioned? no way! you can still have you're own style and 'make it your own' [like Dita imo] without trying to be the person by copying every little thing about them

  • take me back (: i miss the good old days SOO much, even though i didn't live in it.

  • I don't love her.. She was ugly, I think lol

  • Comment removed

  • Bettie Page is a goddess. She was so stunning, her photos are so iconic, so beautiful. Her smile is bloody gorgeous. She's such a brilliant person x

  • Well she revealed her looks anyways..

    A few years later some pictures of her were taken (I believe in 2003) at Hugh Heffners birthday party.

    She still looked amazing, considering her age!!!

    She still had her trademark bangs and that amazing smile..  R.I.P. Bettie Page

  • @MrDunkJunk Yeah, that's what I was going to say. She didn't look too bad for an elderly lady in the photo I saw.

  • Rare and fascinating interview. I still say it's a shame she squandered her exquisite beauty in such a tacky way. She should have signed on with a legitimate modelling agency and worked alongside Dovima, Lisa Fonssagrives, and Suzy Parker.

  • Very cool you got to interview her.

  • 27???? when she started modeling???? OMG!!!! shes my MUSE!!!!! im worried that i wont make it into the fetish/ goth modeling world..... FUCK THAT!... im going for it BABY!!!!!!

  • Awesome!!! Y'know what they say...Always leave'em wanting more.

  • She´s Eternal!!

  • Man she was hot back then!!!

  • Bettie was a live meaning of True Beauty(:

  • oh she sounds adorable !! she is so beautiful in personality ...

  • LEGEND ..But how did she went undercovered for almost 40 years?

  • fuck katy perry and megan fox!!!!! they all owe their influence to bettie page

  • Pssh. Katy Perry can't touch Bettie. She's a wannabe pinup girl.

  • I'm trying to understand if she had a clone, because I saw The Notorious Bettie Page and the actress looks like a clone of Bettie! It's eerie looking at the real Bettie seeing the actress it's like watching a documentary of her and they released it in 05. Goodness!

  • @bsbncandey Gretchen Mol is her name & yes she is an absolute FOX, however I would rather have Bettie on my arm any day. Great movie tho,everyone should see it, came out in 05 I think.

  • Oh Bettie... R.I.P.

    :-(

  • @y98741g - Glad you watched the interview.

    Truth is... Katy Perry and MANY others have tailored their looks to follow in Bettie's footsteps, looks-wise.

  • @FilmFanTV and they fail

  • @FilmFanTV haha! Using Katy Perry in the same sentence as Bettie is like comparing a square douche bag to an hourglass. Perry is a dumb C***t with no waist to hip ratio and she looks NOTHING like Page.

  • @FilmFanTV I feel such sympathy for Bettie it's a real shame she suffered physiological issues.

  • @y98741g - Glad you watched the interview.

    Truth is... Katy Perry and MANY others have tailored their looks to follow in Bettie's footsteps, looks-wise.

  • @FilmFanTV thank you! many people have no clue!!!

  • she wishes she was bettie page!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @y98741g FUCK KATY PERRY!!

  • @VileFemme lol

  • @y98741g No sweetie... Katy Perry reminds you of Bettie Page, not the other way around ;)

  • she is a true woman, before photoshop and fake boobs. She is absolutely beautiful and so humble. I wish i could be more like her.

  • I love what James Swanson said at 6:15. "You think you could know her and if you did know he SHE WOULD LIKE YOU" That really sums up Bettie. She looks like she would be the sweetest thing you ever met.

  • Ohh , I love her accent (:

  • @soapmech88

    I completely agree with you -- especially when you said how Bettie had no idea what she did. And I think that's a big part of why I love her so much. I think she knew she looked good, but as far as she was concerned, she was a pretty girl who was probably insecure every now and then. Just an amazing woman.

  • I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this, but Betty was such a sweetie!! I mean I'd never heard her speak before. I was surprised. Sure, she looked like a really nice person in her pictures and now that I think about it, I did feel like she might have known me. But I didn't know she was such a kind person for real.

    RIP - Will always love you and I think so will everyone else. You are an inspiration and my role model.

    Great interview! I think it went to the right guy!!

  • i like her voice sounds like a pin up

  • i wanan say when in think of BETTIE PAGE I THINK OF ED WOOD AND CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON AND fucking ITS JUST AWESOME Its has such a pure unique Feeling ill always remember her AS THE MODEL SHE IS

  • ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ Bettie Page ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡

  • I'm very curious to know who is benefiting financially off Betty Page's name and likeness. I have a feeling her estate hasn't seen one dime of the money made off of the comic books, posters and other merchandise. I would love to hear THAT story.

  • This truely made my day.. R.I.P Bettie Page The Queen of Pin Up

  • Bettie Page was way before my time but nobody gives me a bigger boner than Bettie Page. I think it's because she has a natural, curvy body. Today's models are way too skinny and plastic. She was a real woman.

  • @AthenaRage - Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words about my interview. I am deeply appreciative.

    Take care and God bless.

  • Comment removed

  • @FilmFanTV I love her very much, she is such as sweet natural person ,she showed that sexuality is something NATURAL. Bless you for posting this May Bettie rest in peace.

  • How did she manage to stay hidden from todays paparazzi? I mean folks would love to see how she looks _(even though she passed away or whatever)

    

  • if only stars today knew when to drop out of the limelight and become legends...

  • I really want to see her

  • a pity the music behind... couldn´t they just leave the voice alone?... so it can be heard clear and clean... Just the interview, no effects thanks..

  • lucky guy got a kiss from bettie. 

  • I just want to say this: Bettie Page always reminded me of Snow White! Yes, her face looks just like the character's, but beyond that, it goes much deeper. Despite Bettie's "naughty" persona, she always seemed to me to be very innocent in reality- kind of like Snow White!

  • very beautiful woman!

  • She was better than ANY of them IMHO. God rest her soul.

  • Really good job. Such a shame people know very little about Betty Page in Brazil. Excellent, straight forward and respectful work - both to the audience and the very object of the report.

  • Very much enjoyed listening to Bettie talk about herself and her career. The biography co-author had it completely right: when you look at her picture, you think you could know her, and if you did know her, she would like you.

    I did spend a good chunk of the interview trying to figure out exactly how she was sitting in relation to the interviewer. Was she in a chair or a sofa elevated above the interviewer? It almost looked tilted forward.

    Anyway, thank you for posting!

  • @sandrafaith - we had to angle the camera to make sure we showed Bettie in some way without revealing how she looks. I was sitting close in front of her on a stool... with the camera on the floor tilted up to get my reaction.

    We had to be creative... glad you liked the interview.

  • i admire because she didnt look like the typical pin-up

    SHE HAD DARK HAIR, BANGS, HIPS, SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL, WASNT AFRAID 2 BE DIFFERENT

  • She has a really deep voice.......

  • @SEHANO thats pretty normal for an old woman isnt it ?

  • @lezvarthok - even for an old woman.....

  • we met bettie while in vacation with my grandma, it was obviously her, but my boyfriend at the time ran up to her and asked "are you bettie page?" really loud. she replied "I dont know who that is!" so sweet and she gave me a sly wink.

  • I hope she was happy with herself in her later years... It's soo upsetting that she didn't want to be shown in this interview.

  • Very cool to hear this interview, I watched the "recent movie" and was also enlightened. This interview confirms generally my take on her take of the seven years in question. She definitely took to "the Lord"... and seems to have lived that dogma. Interesting that she would still state innocence to the fact of incredible interest of her sexuality during those short years.

  • I love how he looks at her in adoration. May she rest in peace

  • Comment removed

  • i woud say by hearin her voice that she's a SISTHA LMAO

  • i've seen a picture of her when she was older, she was still very beautiful! RIP Bettie!

  • i wonder how she looks now O_o

  • She died December 2008, at the age of 85.

  • GOD BLESS U BETTY........

  • WOW! How fortunate you were to meet her and you can tell she really felt comfortable speaking with you! Great interview! Bless you, Bettie!

  • a real natural beauty!!!

  • I am so happy I had the chance to see this, and to hear Miss Bettie's voice. She was the same age as my grandmother.. my gma passed Nov 2009. When Miss Bettie passed, I felt as though I had lost a dear friend. Thank you for posting this RIP Miss Bettie~ Love you.

  • Betty. my inspiration (L)

  • I absolutely LOVE Bettie Page!! thinking about getting a tattoo of her :) great video! thank you SO much for sharing!

  • ... Thank you - in SO many ways :-)

    Have a wonderful new year !

  • I LOVE HER SO MUCH  such a babe !!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • *Made me cry* Great interview and God Bless Bettie she was one helluva' woman!

  • She sounds a lot like the "Fruitcake Lady" on Lenno. Could it be??? Love them both!

  • You conducted an excellent interview. Few people realize how difficult it can be to get somebody to talk, especially somebody who likes to remain private.

    What a great thing to have in your resume. Thanks for posting.

  • Thank YOU so very much.

    ... it is for wonderful people like you - that I am grateful for watching this video... and grateful to Bettie for leaving us this small legacy.

    God bless.

  • I am the reporter who interviewed Bettie in this story

    ... Bettie was not ranting about Adam and Eve. She never ranted about anything. She was nothing but the most genuine and nicest woman I've ever met.

    Was her overall view as a young woman "naive"... perhaps.

    But - I will take exception to her being characterized as "ranting" about her beliefs.

    ... please - leave your ideology at the door... and simply enjoy the interview.

    Thank you.

  • Good interview & I'm happy you just let her talk. I'd like to hear all the tape you recorded. She was probably the first "dirty" pic I ever saw. I hope she has the rights to her name/pic,etc. But isn't it ironic that she is held in such high regard for taking such "nasty" pictures? Bettys' image was & still occupies nose art on some of our hottest planes. Her face so sweet & innocent, then, on go the stockings. That could confuse a guy, 'ya know? I hope she has & continues to enjoy life.

  • What an interesting interview, her accent is so strong! :)

    RIP Bettie

  • it the her smile ,them eyes hair, and those thick hips and legs. beautiful

  • man i want my measurements like her!

  • RIP girl, you will be missed so much, you dont even know.

  • I could listen to this lady talk all day. I love her drawl and her stories :)

  • omg your so beatifull

  • Daaaaaaam! She is hott!

    I like them bangs. ;P

  • Amazing I'm such a fan of Bettie, she always was and always will be a legend!

    x

  • Certainly jealous of a kiss from Bettie regardless of age. Sad she didn'yt feel she could show herself but respect her decision. I hope she was happy in her later years. No doubt she was a lovely lady inside & out x

  • I saw what she looked like in her later years. She didn't look bad at all. She looked damn fabulous for someone in her 80's. I saw a photo of her with Pam Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith for Playboy's 50th anniversary in 2003.

  • Camera Club Girls: The Work of Rudolph Rossi.

    Rudolph Rossi was an informal member of the New York City Concorde Camera Club in the repressive 1950's. For a ten dollar fee, he photographed Bettie Page and a plethora of interracial models, then later meticulously hand-painted each photograph creating the illusion of color photography. See Rossi Camera Club Girls website or DULL TOOL DIM BULB

  • Cool. Great interview.

    Cheers

  • The ultimate pin-up legend, the immortal Bettie Page.

  • lmao!!!!!!!!!!

  • i just saw a movie about her

  • She really looks the same when she was old as when she was modeling. She still has that vibrant smile. Nothing to be ashamed of here. I think she aged gracefully, and people would have liked to have seen her. I guess I understand why she didn't want herself to be shown, though.

  • Beauty is more than skin deep.

    It is her soul that is beautiful.

    Now she is a real lady rather than a sexy girl growing into maturity.

    I'm sure I'd see her as more beautiful than I did in her youth!

    Time and wisdom is sexy.

  • Excellent.

    Thanks for posting the Interview.

  • Pin-Up Queen !

  • I totally agree with you dude!

  • And he rubs in that Bettie kissed him at the end of the interview. Lucky bastard. A million dollar kiss for sure.

  • R.I.P Bettie........back when the women were REAL and sexy! and the perfect build these days these women think there hot because they weigh 40 pounds ridiculous.......you were more than just a playboy pinup girl........you were classy, beautiful, respectful, and professional p.s good job beating out marilyn monroe.......lol.........RIP

  • What the fuck is wrong with you?

  • OMG! I LOVE HER!

  • i dont think she was vain, but if your whole career and alot of your life revolved around people saying how beautiful you are, would you want to show people when you got old? and have them all say how ugly you are compared to the "old" you?

  • Bettie was not vain... but actually had grown modest and more PRIVATE in her later years. She wanted to maintain her anonymity so Bettie stalkers wouldn't bother her.

    Mind you... I said "stalkers".... not her sincere fans.

  • Bettie Page will always make me smile. May you rest in peace, Bettie. Thank you for sharing your beautiful smile with the world.

  • I love that she's only 5'5" and her legs seem to go on foreverrrr.

  • she sounds so old, isn't there any photos of her old?

  • God Bless Bettie.

  • OMG I wish i had her shape

  • Comment removed

  • @purpleteen06

    Me toooo

  • She was so well-formed, freakishly beautiful.

  • That ending comments on the vid were very touching...

    Bettie I love you too!

  • For all the use of her images and name, she should have been a millionaire.

  • R.I.P

    BETTY PAGE!

    We love you and will be sadly missed

  • regardless of her old age,

    you an the the lasting and unwavering

    charm she had on the reporter interviewing her

    the expression on his face said it all

    Betty Page was 1 of a kind

  • Physically the ideal woman in my opinion. I love the voluptuous hourglass figure. I hate it when women emaciate themselves nowadays and wind up looking like young boys. Not sexy at all.  I love you Betty!!!!!

  • I <3 you Bettie Page.

  • everyone hates old age but still age is a sign of maturity

  • R.I.P. Bettie. you'll forever live on in our hearts!

  • she was such a cutie!

  • Nothing wrong with nudity but something wrong with old age? Betty, you got it upside down.

  • more proof religion makes you fucktarded
