nokillnothrill: Bettie Page was a famous pin-up model. In 1950s, when people were too conservative, she became a sex symbol and the queen of pin-up. However, not many people know that after 1959, when she converted to Christianity, Page began suffering from psychological disorders. Mood swings, depression, a mental breakdown…As a result, in 1972, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, after she cut her hands and suffered from a head trauma. As it turned out, she attacked her husband and children with a knife, because they didn’t diligently pray to Jesus. However, years later, Bettie said she couldn’t remember anything about that night: “I heard voices. But I didn’t know what I was doing.” She was released and then again admitted to the psychiatric hospital, after her neighbor told the police she woke up at night and saw Bettie standing near her with a knife, saying “Don’t cry, Jesus sent me to kill you.” Only in 1992, she was finally released from the hospital. -- source link
