Femme Fatale: Betty Blue


Betty Blue Betty Blue was another one of those great pin-up girls who didn't have much success beyond men's magazines of the 1950's, but within the pages of publications of Adam and Escapade she was a star. Look in the back of most men's magazines of the time and you're libel to find ads giving you the chance to get your own personal pin-ups of her (like the one featured here with her and Betty Brosmer, misspelled Brasmer). Betty Blue was photographed often by Russ Meyer, cult movie maker and one of the kings of classic glamour photography. Through his lens, Blue had a look of sophistication mixed with a playful innocence. Here is a bit of a write-up about her from Adam vol 2 no 1 (1957): "Hollywood is famed the world over for its fantastically beautiful girls, but seldom, if ever, has the film capital known a girl as all-over gorgeous as Betty Blue. This 21-year-old belle from sunny Ten-Ten-Tennessee is not only blessed with a spectacularly beautiful body (5' 4" and 39-23-35 where it matters, adding up to 112 pounds), but she has a face that more than lives up to it. What's more, Betty has a rare flair for style almost unique among pinup lasses!"
