TRUE CRIME THEATER: THE GRAND TOUR by J. Scooter Harris
On sale now!



Bettie Mae Page, 1923-2008

The paintings above were some of J. Scooter's first attempts at doing portraits of  Ms.  Page.  And since then, it led Scooter down through roads that he never expected.  One was working with many beautiful pinup models and burlesque dancers, who shared the same quality Bettie had.  Another had Harris seeing the legendary Tempest Storm, who performed with Bettie in the Irving Klaw film TEASE-O-RAMA, perform at the original Exotic World Burlesque Museum in Helendale, CA (now Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, NV).  That led to a meeting with the real life femme fatale, B movie actress, and pinup model Jeanne Carmen, who once competed against Bettie at a swimsuit contest in the 1950's.   He also met up with illustrator, painter, and animator Greg Theakston, who championed the reintroduction as well as the search for Bettie in his acclaimed series THE BETTY PAGES (later retitled the final issue to THE BETTIE PAGES when she was found).

Scooter's travels led to talking to one of the first artists responsible for Bettie's resurgence, illustrator and animator Dave Stevens. He created the comic book series THE ROCKETEER which introduced Bettie to many a comic fan like Scooter.  Dave viewed Scooter's art portfolio filled visions of other burlesque and belly dancers (which did not have any art of Bettie at the time).  He then smiled and said, "Looks like you're trying to find your own Bettie."  Stevens passed away earlier this year.

And with Bettie's legacy, we all now have new roads to travel on.  The mystery may be over, but the myth lives strong in all of us.  And to Ms. Page, we say thank you.
