Over two separate incidents in California in 1979 and 1982, Bettie
allegedly injured three people with a breadknife, and she spent a
disputed amount of time in mental health facilities. This information
(along with an unflattering mugshot on the cover) was featured in "The
Real Bettie Page." Bettie disputes the accuracy of parts of the book
and has described the author as a "creep" who "claims that if he hadn't
dug up that information on me about my shady past, that somebody would
have dug it up and put me in a worse light than he did -- well, I don't
know how they could!" She says, "I hope you fans don't look down your
nose at me because of the breakdown ... It is something that could
happen to anyone when you have enough problems."
=) Really helps when you find someone famous you love that has had problems too.
At least I wasn't the only one in a nut house at some point in my life. It could happen to anyone.
