Early life and career
Linnea Eleanor Yeager was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, to Raymond Conrad and Linnea (née Sherlin) Yeager on March 13, 1929. Her family moved to Florida when she was 17. She adopted the nickname "Bunny" from Lana Turner'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 a high school play.
She graduated from Miami Edison High School and afterwards enrolled at the Coronet Modeling School and Agency.{{cite news |title= The notorious Bunny Yeager |magazine= Boca Magazine}} [http://bocamag.com/blog/2014/05/28/the-notorious-bunny-yeager/ Reprinted] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140703141655/http://bocamag.com/blog/2014/05/28/the-notorious-bunny-yeager/ |date=2014-07-03 }} May 28, 2014 at bocamag.com/blog. She won numerous local beauty pageants including in rapid succession Queen of Miami, Florida Orchid Queen, Miss Trailercoach of Dade County, Miss Army & Air Force, Miss Personality of Miami Beach, Queen of the Sports Carnival and Cheesecake Queen of 1951. Yeager became one of the most photographed models in Miami. Photos of Yeager appeared in over 300 newspapers and magazines.
Yeager also designed and sewed many of the outfits she and her models wore, at one time boasting that she never wore the same outfit twice while modeling. She designed and produced hundreds of bikinis when the two-piece swimsuit was a new fashion item and is credited with its popularity 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 save money by copying her modeling photographs, enrolling in a night class at a vocational school in 1953. Her career as a professional photographer began when a picture of Maria Stinger, taken for her first school assignment, was sold to Eye magazine for the cover of the March 1954 issue.{{cite news |last= Shaw |first= Kurt |date= April 20, 2010 |title= Warhol exhibits pin-up queen's photographs |url= http://triblive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/ae/museums/s_676786.html#axzz35BJtMvup |newspaper= Pittsburgh Tribune-Review |access-date= June 20, 2014}} She became a technically skilled photographer noted for, among other things, her early use of the fill flash technique to lighten dark shadows when shooting in bright sun. Yeager was one of the first photographers to photograph her models outdoors with natural light. Matt Schudel wrote in The Washington Post that her images were vivid and dynamic, going on to say, "She favored active poses and a direct gaze at the camera lens, in what could be interpreted alternately as playful innocence or pure lust."
She met Bettie Page in 1954, and took most of the photographs of her that year. During their brief collaboration she took over 1,000 pictures of Page. Along with photographer Irving Klaw, Yeager played a role in helping to make Page famous, particularly with her photos in Playboy magazine. 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.{{cite news |last= Fenichell |first= Stephen |date= November–December 1993 |title= The Business of Betty |magazine= American Photo |volume= 4 |issue= 6 |pages= 44–7, 102 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=JiA9bU8qsZQC&pg=PA44 |via= Google Books}} The most famous images of Page by Yeager include the January 1955 Playboy centerfold in which she kneels wearing only a Santa hat while hanging a silver ornament on a Christmas tree and a series of photographs with a pair of live cheetahs.{{cite news |last= Crandell |first= Ben |date= November 27, 2013 |title= The real Bettie Page reveals herself in a new documentary |url= http://www.southflorida.com/events/south-florida-events-go-guide-blog/sf-betty-page-reveals-all-in-new-documentary-20131127,0,4371070.story |newspaper= Sun-Sentinel |location= Fort Lauderdale, FL |access-date= June 20, 2014}}
Yeager was a very prolific and successful pinup photographer in the 1950s and 1960s, so much so, that her work was described as ubiquitous in that era. She continued to work extensively with Playboy shooting eight centerfolds in addition to covers and pictorial spreads. She discovered Lisa Winters, the first Playmate of the Year.{{cite news |last= Parkyn |first= John |date= May 24, 1998 |title= A life in glamour |url= http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1998-05-24/features/9805220082_1_easter-bunny-first-photos-girl |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100911104732/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1998-05-24/features/9805220082_1_easter-bunny-first-photos-girl |url-status= dead |archive-date= September 11, 2010 |newspaper= Sun-Sentinel |location= Fort Lauderdale, FL |access-date= June 21, 2014}} Yeager also appeared in the magazine as a model five times. One appearance with the headline, "Queen of the Playboy Centerfolds", was photographed by Hugh Hefner.
Her work was also published in mainstream magazines including Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Pageant, Redbook and Women's Wear Daily. The famous still images she took of Ursula Andress emerging from the water on the beach in Jamaica for the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No are probably her best known bikini photographs. She discovered many notable models. In the 1970s as men's magazines became more anatomically graphic Yeager largely stopped photographing for them, saying they were somewhat "smutty" and that, "They had girls showing more than they should."{{cite news |last= Perrone |first= Pierre |date= May 27, 2014 |title= Bunny Yeager: Pin-up who moved behind the camera to take influential, iconic shots of Bettie Page and Ursula Andress |url= https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/bunny-yeager-pinup-who-moved-behind-the-camera-to-take-influential-iconic-shots-of-bettie-page-and-ursula-andress-9442073.html |type= obituary |newspaper= The Independent |access-date= June 20, 2014}} In 1998 she stated, "The kind of photographs they wanted was something I wasn't prepared to do."
Later career
An exhibition titled "Beach Babes Bash" in the early 1990s at the Center for Visual Communication (at that time located in Coral Gables, Florida) featured photographs by Yeager of models from Miami on the beach from the 1950s. Another exhibit at the same gallery featuring Yeager's work was titled "Sex Sirens of the Sixties."{{cite news |last= Crandell |first= Ben |date= June 20, 2013 |title= Bunny Yeager: The woman who made Bettie Page |url= http://www.southflorida.com/events/south-florida-events-go-guide-blog/sf-bunny-yeager-at-museum-of-art-fort-lauderdale-20130620,0,4961473,full.story |access-date= June 20, 2014 |newspaper= Sun-Sentinel |location= Fort Lauderdale, FL |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20141217184916/http://www.southflorida.com/events/south-florida-events-go-guide-blog/sf-bunny-yeager-at-museum-of-art-fort-lauderdale-20130620,0,4961473,full.story |archive-date= December 17, 2014 |url-status=dead |df= mdy-all }} In 1992 Playboy published a retrospective of her work titled "The Bettie Boom".{{cite news |last= Henry |first= Buck |date= December 1992 |title= The Bettie Boom |magazine= Playboy}} Since 2002, Yeager's work has been exhibited in contemporary art galleries.{{cite news |last= Kleinman |first= Rebecca |date= December 10, 2002 |title= Art-y Gras |magazine= Women's Wear Daily }}

In The New York Times, Margalit Fox wrote, "She is widely credited with helping turn the erotic pinup — long a murky enterprise in every sense of the word — into high photographic art." Her obituary in The Independent titled, "Bunny Yeager: Pin-up who moved behind the camera to take influential, iconic shots of Bettie Page and Ursula Andress" called her photographic technique pioneering and influential. The Washington Post reported she "helped define [the] art of erotic photography."
Yeager is credited with helping to popularize the bikini in America. The inspiration for the term "cheesecake" in reference to scantily clad women has been attributed to Yeager. Her books, including Photographing the Female Figure which sold over 300,000 copies, have influenced several generations of photographers.
