About Betty Brosmer (Weider)

Betty is an American former bodybuilder and physical fitness expert. During the 1950s, she was a popular commercial model and pin-up girl.

She won numerous New York area beauty contests in the early 1950s, most famously "Miss Television".

Playboy magazine pursued Brosmer for an exclusive pictorial, and a photo shoot was set up in Beverly Hills. The resulting picture set was rejected, however, after Brosmer declined to do any nude posing: "I wore sort of a half-bra or low demi-bra with nothing showing ... and that's what I thought they wanted." Playboy threatened a lawsuit over the alleged breach of contract, but ultimately relinquished the case. The photos were eventually sold to Escapade magazine.
