Talk:Bettie Page

Pictures
Why are there barely any pictures for Betty Page? 20astevenson (talk) 00:36, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Why indeed. Bettie Page pin-ups were denounced on the floor of Congress for corrupting the morals of America. Maybe few survivors?


 * I assume mostly for copyright reasons. Not knowing who owns those rights to a given picture, to begin with. (I believe the Klaws are both dead, & so are many of the other photographers who took pictures of her. Page's estate might have some interest in her images. Moreover many have been since republished, so a subsequent publisher might be able to claim copyright.) There is also the issue whether the copyrights were properly recorded & renewed. Lastly, if these images were ruled as obscene, at a certain point in American legal history obscene works could not be copyrighted & they would be in the public domain. This is a tricky point of law, which has led to such results as James Joyce's Ulysses actually being in the public domain for the United States. So, in brief, it's a complicated situation no Wikipedia editor has yet decided to spend his/her unpaid time on to untangle & provide us with photos. -- llywrch (talk) 19:03, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Bettie Page Eye Color
Bettie Page was Born with along with had Green Eyes... The other Images of her with Blue Eyes came about because most of the Photos of her were in Black & White... As Pinup Artists mistakenly Painted her Eyes the Wrong Color... As well as later when Studios were Colorizing Films & Stills... They mistakenly Colored her Eyes Blue... More than likely from having seen her Eyes mistakenly Painted Blue by PinUp Artist's Posters & Artwork... Otherwise she never had Blue Eyes... Her Eyes were Green as the Few Real Color Photos & Stills along with Few Color Films Reveal...

Here is a Link to the Bettie Page Official Facebook Page that has many of her B&W and Real Color Photos along with several Colorized Photos in which her Eyes have been Colored Wrong... Mixed in amoungst several photos of Models & Addmins of the Facebook Page... As they need to set these Photos up in different Folders... so if you need Permission to use some of these Real Color Photos to show her Real Eye Color they would probably be the ones to get in touch with...

Bettie Page has Green Eyes...
