Bettie Page Reveals All Page #2
and were married in five minutes.
And when I got on the bus
to go back with him,
I said to myself,
"What have I done?"
Well, we were in San
Francisco, 1944.
And this fella, he took
a lot of pictures of me
and sent some of them
down to 20th Century Fox.
I had a screen test
with John Russell
lawman on a TV series.
But that test was awful.
They tried to make me up
to look like Joan Crawford.
Didn't even look like me.
While I was at the studio,
this big car pulled up beside me...
and a big fat guy,
very ugly looking fella,
wanted me to go to dinner with him.
I told him no.
And he said, "You'll be sorry."
Well, he was at the
head of the table
when I went to learn
the results of the screen test.
That test was awful.
I was so disappointed and unhappy
over the failure of
the screen test,
when I got back to San Francisco,
I started eating.
Within two months, I ballooned
way up to 162 pounds.
Well, my sister came to visit me,
Goldie, from Nashville.
She said that the landlord,
he had cussed her out
and accused her of causing
the sink in the bathroom
to fall off the wall.
I went to the door, and
boy, he flew in on me,
beating me in the face with
his fist, just a mad man.
And Goldie grabbed the milk bottle and
cracked him over the head with it.
And he started bleeding
down the front of his head,
and he thought he was
dying, and we did too.
Because Goldie was underage,
under 21, I'm the one
who had to testify,
even though I'm not the one
who hit him over the head.
But they gave me a 30-day suspended
sentence and I had to pay 10 dollars,
and it was in the paper,
and a big headline,
"Tenant Bashes Landlord".
Well, Billy came back
from fighting overseas.
He had battle fatigue,
you know, he was in the hospital,
in the army hospital in
Guam for about six months.
When he came home,
he wasn't the same guy.
He was a jealous maniac.
Accused me of sleeping with
every sailor in San Francisco,
and he went off the deep end.
So I tried so hard to make a go of
it with him but it was impossible.
We were sitting in the kitchen,
and he had a knife
right at my throat,
he was gonna cut me with
it if I divorced him.
I went ahead and
divorced him anyhow.
When I went to New York,
I was getting over
and the miserable marriage.
I liked all the lights on Broadway.
All I paid for my apartment
on West 46th Street,
46 dollars and 29 cents a month.
I used to go to the
Roseland ballroom.
And then I went dancing so much.
I was a movie fiend in those days.
Didn't cost much of
anything, 40 or 50 cents,
