Betty Brosmer will go down in pin-up history for many reasons,
the most notable of them being her very pronounced hourglass figure. During
her heyday in the 1950's, her measurements were somewhere around 38-18-35.
Brosmer
was the epitome of the Californian girl, with that girl-next-door look
not unlike Marilyn Monroe. But
whereas Monroe's and other glamour model's careers focused
on the movies, Brosmer stayed with modeling, both commercial
and pin-up. At one point in the 50's she was the highest paid pin-up model
around. During this time, she turned down Playboy because of her rule of
never doing anything more than just chaste cheesecake shots. In the 1960's,
she stopped her pin-up career when she married publisher of fitness magazines
Joe
Weider. Since then, she has been a regular model and writer for
his publications and a role model for good health and fitness in later
age.
