Photographer

The Resume

    (March 13, 1929-May 25, 2014)
    Born in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania
    Model and photographer best known for her work with Bettie Page and her still photography work with Ursula Andress on the set of the movie 'Dr. No'
    Real name Linnea Eleanor Yeager
    Books include '100 Girls,' 'ABC's of Figure Photography,' 'Photography of the Female Figure,' 'The Art of Glamour Photography,' 'How I Photograph Nudes,' 'Camera in Jamaica' and 'Camera in the Caribbean'
    Adopted her nickname from Lana Turner's character in the movie 'Week-End at Waldorf's'
    Five feet ten inches tall

Why she might be annoying:

    At its most basic level, most of her work consisted of taking pictures of naked and half naked women for men to leer at, including photographing Bettie Page's Playboy spread.
    She played herself in a series of softcore porn pseudo-documentaries in the 1960's, including 'Bunny Yeager's Nude Las Vegas,' 'Nudes on Tiger Reef,' and 'Bunny Yeager's Nude Camera' and 'Bettie Page Reveals All.'
    There have been accusations of her cheating her models, including Page, out of money they had coming to them.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was a popular model in the Miami area for many years before turning to photography, undoubtedly giving her useful insight into fashion photography.
    She appeared on 'What's My Line?'
    She virtually invented swimsuit modeling/photography single handedly.
    Her still photos of Ursula Andress for 'Dr. No' were every bit as electrifying and as responsible for making Andress an instant star as the movie itself.
    She was one of the earliest fashion photographers to write about photography and is still one of the most prolific.
    She accomplished all she did without ever taking a single formal photography class.
