<p>Gone at 85. Great model, even greater photographer.</p>

Great model, greater photographer. I agree. She was one of the photographers who I admired.

<p>Yes, indeed, and I'm sorta surprised I haven't seen more mention of this. She really was a pioneer. </p>

<p>Ms. Yeager and I sort of grew up together, since we both have lived in south Florida for quite a while. Her exploration of then unknown artistic and photographic territory took a great deal of courage. For this as well as the amazing results of her craft, she will be sorely missed.</p>

[Robin Smith]

<p>Never sure why a grown woman would want to be known as "Bunny", but apart from that, a sad loss.</p>

[Spearhead]

<p>I have a friend who most people know as "Bunny" rather than her real name. It's never been an issue. Many don't know her real name.<br>

<br />And she (Yeager) was a terrific photographer.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>"Bunny Yeager is the stingiest woman God ever placed on the face of the earth. When I started posing for her she had been a pin up model herself. I posed for her 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. I posed for her for nothing. She said she would pay me when the photos sold but I never saw a penny. She has sold books, bought a house and she wouldn’t even give me one free picture for my book. She said “Bettie Page has to pay for them like everyone else!”"</p>
