Classic Bettie

America's Favorite Pin Up

Bettie was turned down by all the modeling agencies because she was too short (5'4") and too big figure-wise (hips).
However posing for the camera clubs of the day and later for Bunny Yeager established her as the favorite of the American people (and beyond).
Despite what the experts at the agencies said ... she was the ideal model and she still is today.
Lest you think she was the stereotypical 'hunk of granite between the ears' that dogs models - she was awarded an academic scholarship to the institute of higher learning of her choice upon graduating high school. So, there.
