Pin-up photographer and model Bunny Yeager, 85, has died at a hospice in North Miami, Fla.

Ms. Yeager's agent, Ed Christin, says the photographer died Sunday after being in the hospice for about a week.

She was most famous for photographing the then-unknown Bettie Page in the 1950s.

She published about a dozen books, and her work has been displayed in art galleries worldwide. Ms. Yeager shot stills of Swedish actress Ursula Andress, who starred in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No in a white bikini, a knife at her side. - AP
