Bettie Page Hospitalized.

Quote:
Bettie Page, the iconic model who unwittingly launched the look of a million "Suicide Girls", was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack in L.A. Tuesday.

The 85-year-old, who's leopard skin bikini layouts made her one of the most famous pin-up girls of the 20th century, is currently listed as critically ill.

She's 85 years old, I don't think anyone should be particularly surprised.

I also thought she was dead.

She must have been a very healthy person. 85 is pretty damn old.

I never knew she was alive as well. Then again I'm not much for pin-up girls, but some friends of mine are. Wonder if even they knew, heh.

She's quite the survivor, though she aint got nothin' on Marge, an old lady who celebrated her 90t birthday with us today, too bad she'll probably be dead before I hit 30... that's slightly depressing.

When i first read this topic title I swear it said: Betty Crocker, and I was utterly confused.

It's sad but everyone has to die.

If people are speaking about her as if she's "a goner for sure," they HAVE TO believe she's alive.

Interesting. I thought that she went nutzo and offed herself a while back ago.

At her advanced age, this isn't surprising at all. Though I do hope that she recovers.

No I wasn't. Apparently you didn't get the sarcasm in the first post, obviously the downfall of posting on a forum. If you apologize for being bitchy, I'll apologize for you misunderstanding my post and we can call it a day.

I'm not apologizing, and I don't care if you do.

Also--why does everyone just say it was sarcasm when they're caught being wrong?
I mean, maybe you were. I doubt it, but that isn't the point. Everyone caught being wrong is suddenly like, "OMG, it was sarcasm, you're too stupid to get it!!!"
