Femme Fatale: Bunny Yeager



Bunny Yeager     There are few women who can make magic both in front and behind the camera. Bunny Yeager is such a woman. At the start of her career, she was known as a beach-bound blond bombshell, pin-up cover girl and beauty pageant queen. She designed her own swimsuits and photo shoot outfits, and even spent a little time trying to make a business from her designs. In the mid-50's, she decided to take a stab at the technical side of the business, and became one the most admired and recognized glamour photographers ever.

Because of her experiences as a model, she had a knack for getting the best out of her models. Her most impressive work is with pinup goddess Bettie Page. It was Yeager who sent shots of Page off to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, who, in turn, made Page January 1955's "Playmate of the Month."

Yeager remained active through her 80's publishing collections of her works and taking photos of the current generation of pin-up models. She passed away on May 25, 2014.
