One appearance with the headline, "Queen of the Playboy Centerfolds", was photographed by Hugh Hefner. Yeager also appeared in the magazine as a model five times.

She discovered Lisa Winters, the first Playmate of the Year. She continued to work extensively with Playboy shooting eight centerfolds in addition to covers and pictorial spreads. 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.

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. 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. Along with photographer Irving Klaw, Yeager played a role in helping to make Page famous, particularly with her photos in Playboy magazine. During their brief collaboration she took over 1,000 pictures of Page. She met Bettie Page in 1954, and took most of the photographs of her that year. Linnea Eleanor "Bunny" Yeager (MaMay 24, 2014) was an American photographer and pin-up model. This lot is coming from Bunny Yeager's estate/archives.
