Not really a horror icon but a lot of horror fans liked Bettie Page (the same people who obsess over Evil Dead). Page died in Los Angeles yesterday from pneumonia, she was 85. Her agent wrote this on her website:

“With deep personal sadness I must announce that my dear friend and client Bettie Page passed away at 6:41pm PST this evening in a Los Angles hospital. She died peacefully but had never regained consciousness after suffering a heart attack nine days ago.

She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality. She is the embodiment of beauty.”
