Девушки с плакатов пин-ап в реальности

The post says all the models are the same woman and that it’s Elvgren’s wife. Not true.

The first 8 pictures are of Janet Rae, who was never married to Elvgren. She was his next-door neighbor, and did pose for many of Elvgren’s famous works, but his wife was Janet Cummins, who never modeled for Gil.

The last picture is of Myrna Hansen, who was Miss USA in 1953, and went on to a moderately successful career in movies and TV. She was never married to Elvgren, either.

Janet Rae, the daughter of Elvgren's neighbors, posed for many of his best paintings, including «Inside Story», «Well Built», «Puppy Love», and «Sheer Comfort»; she was interviewed extensively by our friend Marianne Phillips.
