BUNNY YEAGER BIOLinnea Eleanor "Bunny"Yeager (March 13, 1929 ? May 25, 2014) wasan American photographer and pin-up model. Linnea Eleanor Yeager was born inthe Pittsburghsuburb of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, to Raymond Conrad and Linnea (née Sherlin) Yeager on March 13, 1926. Her familymoved to Florida in when she was 17. She adopted the nickname "Bunny"from LanaTurner's character Bunny Smith in the 1945 movie Week-End at the Waldorf.The nickname has also been attributed to her portrayal of the Easter Bunny in ahigh school play. She graduated from Miami Edison High Schooland afterwards enrolled at the Coronet Modeling School and Agency. She wonnumerous local beauty pageants including in rapidsuccession Queen of Miami, Florida Orchid Queen, Miss Trailercoach of DadeCounty, Miss Army & Air Force, Miss Personality of Miami Beach, Queen ofthe Sports Carnival and Cheesecake Queen of 1951. Yeager became one of the mostphotographed models in Miami. Photos of Yeager appeared in over 300newspapers and magazines. Yeager also designed and sewed manyof the outfits she and her models wore, at one time boasting that she neverwore the same outfit twice while modeling. She designed and produced hundredsof bikiniswhen the two-piece swimsuit was a new fashion item and is credited with itspopularity in America. Bruno Banani, the German fashion company, has developed a line of swimwear based on Yeager's designs from the 1950s. Yeager entered photography to savemoney by copying her modeling photographs, enrolling in a night class at avocational school in 1953. Her career as a professional photographer began whena picture of Maria Stinger, taken for her first school assignment, was sold to Eyemagazine for the cover of the March 1954 issue. She became a technicallyskilled photographer noted for, among other things, her early use of the fillflash technique to lighten dark shadows when shooting in bright sun.Yeager was one of the first photographers to photograph her models outdoorswith natural light. Matt Schudel wrote in The Washington Post that her imageswere vivid and dynamic, going on to say, "She favored active poses and adirect gaze at the camera lens, in what could be interpreted alternately asplayful innocence or pure lust." She met BettiePage in 1954, and took most of the photographs of her that year.During their brief collaboration she took over 1, 000 pictures of Page. Alongwith photographer Irving Klaw, Yeager played a role in helping tomake Page famous, particularly with her photos in Playboymagazine. American Photo magazine described Yeager's work with Page as"a body of imagery that remains some of the most memorable ? and endearing? erotica on record" in a 1993 article. The most famous images of Page byYeager include the January 1955 Playboy centerfold in which she kneelswearing only a Santa hat while hanging a silver ornament on a Christmas treeand a series of photographs with a pair of live cheetahs. Yeager was a very prolific andsuccessful pinup photographer in the 1950s and 1960s, so much so, that her workwas described as ubiquitous in that era. She continued to work extensively withPlayboy shooting eight centerfolds in addition to covers and pictorialspreads. She discovered Lisa Winters, the first Playmate of the Year.Yeager also appeared in the magazine as a model five times. One appearance withthe headline, "Queen of the Playboy Centerfolds", was photographed byHughHefner. Her work was also published inmainstream magazines including Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Pageant, Redbookand Women's Wear Daily. The famous stillimages she took of Ursula Andress emerging from the water onthe beach in Jamaica for the 1962 James Bond film Dr.No are probably her best known bikiniphotographs. She discovered many notable models. In the 1970s as men'smagazines became more anatomically graphic Yeager largely stopped photographingfor them, saying they were somewhat "smutty" and that, "They hadgirls showing more than they should." In 1998 she stated, "The kindof photographs they wanted was something I wasn't prepared to do." An exhibition titled "BeachBabes Bash" in the early 1990s at the Center for Visual Communication (atthat time located in Coral Gables, Florida) featured photographs by Yeager ofmodels from Miami on the beach from the 1950s. Another exhibit at the samegallery featuring Yeager's work was titled "Sex Sirens of theSixties." In 1992 Playboy published a retrospective of her worktitled "The Bettie Boom".
