Vintage 1950s adult film star and pin-up model JACKIE MILLER 2 1/4" 120 MM camera transparency taken by photographer BUNNY YEAGER  coming directly from her personal archive. There is a number written on the side with india ink representing the number of this image in the shoot series. We are showing a positive view of this negative for purpose of this auction.Jackie was an Irving Klaw favorite - a fiery redhead, 5' 11'' 40-26-38 figure, she could give you a charming smileone minute, and the next hit you with a coquettish pout. Before her work with Klaw, Millerwas a showgirl in the Miami area and did modeling for the one-and-onlyBunnyYeager. With Yeager you get models posed on sunlitbeaches, withKlaw you get them on couches inside New Yorkstudios. LikeBettie Page, Miller was ableto transition easily between these two worlds for a while, but as her careerprogressed, Miller wound up posing for more of the Klaw-esqueindoor fetish shots. In all probability, Miller was anothervictim of pin-up model typecasting. Just like an actor who plays theirrole too well, Miller just looked too good in impossibleheels and corsets. (full bio below)

JACKIE MILLER BIOBig breasts vintage pinup model Jackie Miller thrived on theedge of kinky, striking sexy poses in bikinis, tight corsets, leather gloves, and sexy boots and stockings but not quite fully indulging in fetish pornposes, outside of those few sets where this nude big breasted babe had a whipin her hand and a naughty glint in her eye. No man in the 1950s could resisther class and sophistication when combined with her edgy sexiness, long legsand big beautiful breasts.Jackie Miller, an American pin-up and fetish model in thelate 1950s and early 1960s, was born on January 1, 1935 in showgirl in Miami(USA). It was a glamorous town even back then, and she delighted the crowdswith her fiery red hair, D (DD) cup boobs and 40-26-38 (102-66-97 cm) frametucked into tight corsets and lovely lingerie sets as she danced on stage.This retro nude model girl met photographer Bunny Yeagerwhile in Miami and played a beautiful beach babe for him, posing in swimsuitsand going topless in the sun to show her natural breasts to the world anddemonstrate just how much fun the ladies of the beach had.When you peruse the work of brunette beauty Jackie Miller, you'll see the two sides of her modeling persona. First is the work with BunnyYeager where she had a more all-American, friendly, flirty beach girl look.Those photo shoots were certainly the more common kind back then, but thatwasn't all this devastatingly sexy lady with incredible curves was into.When she met Irving Klaw, a famous fetish photographer thathad introduced the world to Bettie Page and other kinky models of the time, sheentered his world and produced a whole new kind of content.You could find bondage content in the 1950s, but JackieMiller wasn't interested in going quite so far into kink. Instead, she wasrecruited into posing as a model for pinup shoots that weren't quite fetish orbondage, but flirted with it just a little bit. In the most arousing of theseshe's in high heeled black latex boots, black fishnet stockings with gartersattached, fullback black panties, a tight black corset, and black leathergloves. It's the outfit of a Dominatrix, only she wasn't in a dungeon but wasinstead posing in bed.In other photo shoots, the outfits would be less overtlydominant, like a pair of stockings and heels, black panties, and a blackstrapless bra. However, they would spice those up by giving her a whip andhaving her wear a slightly menacing look on her face like she would take thatwhip to your ass if you didn't behave. In the 1950s that was more than enoughto tickle the kinky desires of men with submissive notions. Jackie was generouswith her ass, teasing it in sexy panties and baring the nude cheeks with glee.Because of these two distinct styles of modeling, any tripthrough the collected works of Jackie Miller is a varied and fantasticallyarousing experience. Find her in a bikini or on the beach, and you see asmiling, sweet girl with natural D (DD) cup boobs and overwhelming charm. Hereyebrows are softer, she's usually in a lovely shade of red lipstick, and inthe few color pictures she did she has red hair. She's very all-American, andit's beautiful.This vintage pornstar was better-suited to the darker, morefetishistic modeling though, and it's safe to assume that she was offered farmore of it since most of her catalog of topless and lingerie pictures is ofthat variety. In them, her eyebrows tend to be styled more severely, and thoughyou might not take direct notice, that look does make her seem more severe andcommanding, both of which are good things.Her hair is dark, and her lips are quite often light so youcan admire their plumpness. She almost always wore high heels or boots, so herlegs always looked incredible, made tighter by her footwear.When not in the beach and outdoor photos taken in Miami(USA) Jackie is most often found indoors in simple settings. Her fetish photoswere about appreciating the model and her command over the men wanking to her, not everything going on around her.On rare occasions, she shot with other girls, usually posingin lingerie together and never approaching anything resembling lesbian content.Instead, it was just two beautiful chicks hanging out together. There were no p----yshots in her illustrious career, just a series of beautiful teases where shehid the space between her legs from us.If it's a vintage lingerie girl you crave, then JackieMiller is bound to take up permanent residence in your spank bank. Ladies'underthings are meant to make women more arousing in a variety of ways, andthey can be used to tell a story.When Jackie puts on a pair of leather boots, blackstockings, and a black garter belt, she looks more dominant than when she putson a dress and sheer tan stockings with high heeled sandals. PhotographerIrving Klaw had an expert understanding of how to dress his models to create themood he was looking for, and Jackie Miller was one of his most popular girls, so he got to know her well.Jackie appeared in a pinup magazines from 1957 to March1964, showing up in the pages of "Fling" numerous times over thatperiod. This classic sex star was tall at 5 feet 11 inches (1.8 m) and thatlikely contributed to her being pegged as a dominant lady that could enchant submissivemen. Little is known of her career after modeling, but she is still alive andliving in Florida (USA), presumably happily.Jackie Miller had noticeable roles in B-level mid-60ssoftcore sexploitation movies "The Sexploiters" (1965), "TheSmut Peddler" (1965).
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". Since 2002, Yeager's work has beenexhibited in contemporary art galleries.In early 2010, The Andy Warhol Museumheld the first major museum exhibition of Yeager's work.[8]The exhibit, "The Legendary Queen of the Pin Up", featured herself-portraits, some from her book How I Photograph Myself published byA.S. Barnes & Co. in 1964. "The Fabulous Bunny Yeager" an exhibitin 2011 at the Harold Golen Gallery in Miami also featuring self-portraits byYeager was of photographs that had not been exhibited previously. Also in 2011Helmut Schuster curated an exhibition for ArtBasel at the Dezer Schauhalle in Miami titled "Bunny Yeager:Retrospective to the Future" featuring over 200 of Yeager's photos.Included were some images that had not been shown before of models includingBettie Page. In 2012 Bunny Yeager had twoexhibitions in Germany, "Funland" at Gallery Schuster Potsdam and"Femme Fatale" in December 2012 at Gallery Schuster Berlin. The Museum of Art Fort Lauderdaleheld a 2013 exhibit, "Bunny Yeager: Both Sides of the Camera"featuring her photographs of herself, Page, and model Pazde la Huerta. The exhibit also included some of Yeager's first newpictures in twenty years. Yeager had a show at the Sofia Vault in Sofia, Bulgariain October 2013. The Gavlak Gallery in Palm Beach, Florida put on an exhibit, "Bunny Yeager: Selections from How I Photograph Myself" in2014. The Sin City Gallery in LasVegas held a posthumous exhibit, "Bunny's Bombshells", from June 5 to July 20 2014. She had her own studio in the Wynwood Art District of Miami, part of theCenter for Visual Communication. There is a "Bunny Yeager Lounge" inBerlin which is open to the public and shows photos, memorabilia and movies.Yeager was also founding editor and publisher of a trade magazine forentertainment professionals, Florida Stage & Screen. As of 1998 her24 books had sold over 1 million copies. Bunny Yeager was married twice, first to Arthur Irwin who died in 1977 and then to Harry Schaefer who died in2000. She had two daughters, Lisa and Cherilu. Yeager died on May 25, 2014 ofcongestive heart failure at age 85 in North Miami, Florida. Yeager's obituary in TheMiami Herald called her "one of the country?s most famousand influential photographers." She has been cited as influencing manyartists and photographers including DianeArbus, Cindy Sherman and YasumasaMorimura. Arbus called her, "the world?s greatest pinupphotographer."[4][13]In The New York Times, MargalitFox wrote, "She is widely credited with helping turn the eroticpinup ? long a murky enterprise in every sense of the word ? into highphotographic art." Her obituary in TheIndependent titled, "Bunny Yeager: Pin-up who moved behindthe camera to take influential, iconic shots of Bettie Page and UrsulaAndress" called her photographic technique pioneering and influential.The Washington Post reported she"helped define [the] art of erotic photography." Yeager is credited with helping topopularize the bikiniin America. The inspiration for the term "cheesecake" in reference toscantily clad women has been attributed to Yeager. Her books, including Photographingthe Female Figure which sold over 300, 000 copies, have influenced severalgenerations of photographers. On July 14, 1957, Yeager appeared onWhat's My Line?, stumping the panel.She was also on I've Got a Secret and ToTell the Truth. She was a guest on The Tonight Show StarringJohnny Carson in 1966 to discuss her book, How I PhotographMyself.
