"You Call That Dancin'?"

The Not Very Pretty Music Blog has an hour long interview with Bettie Page. It's at the time of publication of Bettie Page: The Life of a Pin-up Legend. She's a sweet old lady, and her country style is really kinda counter to the whole sleek Bunny Yeager thing.

She even speaks with one of her former photographers.

Jeanne Carmen: My Wild, Wild Life As A New York Pin Up Queen, Trick Shot Golfer, and Hollywood Actress.
Jeanne started in show business aged 17, she became soon a burlesque dancer, a cheesecake model, a b-movie actress, a trick shot golfer . She hanged out with The Rat Pack and was a close friend of Marilyn Monroe (she said!). Lately she was acting in 2002 for Rob Zombie's horror movie : House of 1000 corpses (though it was filmed, the scene was later cut). But i won't tell you more, she was a true glamourous pin-up queen, go check his thrilling story there: Diary Of A Man Out Of Time
