Celebrities With Cameras: Bunny Yeager

(Updated 1 Apr 14)

(First Posted 20 Mar 14)

Bunny Yeager was a pinup girl in the 1950’s, who decide she liked it behind the lens as much as in front!  She was a celebrated Pinup Photographer swell as a model, and her work was even seen in Playboy!  She is the one who talked Bettie Page into going to Florida for the Jungle/Cheetah photos.  This page is photos either of, or by, Bunny Yeager.  I think she is still around, too!  (Wikipedia) (Official Homepage)

 Since there >>are<<pinup photos on this page it may be a bit NSFW, however.  Pretty 1950’s for the most part…

With Maria Stinger.  I had previously labeled a few of these with Sammy Davis Jr as having Marilyn Monroe as the model, but it was apparently Maria Stinger.  Sammy and Marilyn were friends, however, and we can all see who Maria looks like in a bathing suit…{!-{>
