Bettie Page wasn't much of a dancer, but she looked great climbing a tree in a jungle suit! While not a Burlesque performer per se, she did appear in the Varietease and the Striporama films in the early 1950s.
This is a unique, one of a kind, previously unpublished photograph taken by Bunny Yeager but rejected for publication (as the editing pen in orange indicates) It is a contact print of the famous "Jungle Girl" photo session which took place in 1954 at the Africa USA wildlife Park in Boca Raton Florida. Previously unseen picture of Bettie Page don't turn up much anymore...this small image is nice to see.
Original Bettie Page Contact print by Bunny Yeager, signed by the photographer on reverse. 1954.
