Bettie Page made a name for herself in the 1950’s, being branded as the Pin Up Queen of that decade as she was the picture of perfection as far as posing for various magazines during those times. But the stint that really propelled her to stardom was when she posed for Playboy as Miss January 1955.
Unfortunately these will all be part of history as well as the life she lived. Page died of Pneumonia Thursday at the age of 85. She was admitted already some weeks back when she suffered a heart attack and never regained consciousness since then.
Page combined sweetness and sexuality in a series of now-legendary posters and photographs in the 1950s, including as one of the inaugural centerfolds in Hugh Heffner’s new magazine Playboy, which named her “the model of the century.”

Bernie Mac will probably be remembered as that comedian that played memorable roles in box office movies such as “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and the all-star films Ocean’s Eleven. With a flourishing career, Bernie Mac passed away Saturday at the age of 50 due to pneumonia complications at a Chicago Hospital.
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

Mac was in a class of his own. He had his share of great roles as well as starring alongside current and future stars. He was truly one of the “Original Kings of Comedy” and will surely be missed.
