We have learned that Young – Playboy Playmate of the Month in November 1968 – shot herself in the head in a bid she thought would send a powerful message to the men who she believed had tormented her for so long.

Last week it emerged that one of her tormentors may have been legendary comedian Bill Cosby.

Young’s name was mentioned in media reports along with the dozens of women who have made shocking allegations of rape and sexual assault against the comic.

Very little was known of Young and Cosby’s encounter but her story is all the more intriguing given her death.

Now MailOnline can reveal that Cosby in fact dated Young for months at the height of her fame.

One of Cosby’s victims, attorney Tamara Green, knew Paige from modeling circles and recalls seeing the pair together.

Tamara Green recalls that she ran into Paigewhile in El Paso, Texas around 1970 and learned she was dating Bill Cosby. 

'I was there seeing my boyfriend and Paige called me and said Bill was on tour and she was travelling with him.

‘They picked me up at my friend’s house and I remember sitting in the back of a stretched black limo with them both and Bill wanted to score some drugs.

‘I called around and found a bag of pot some place on the edge of El Paso.

‘Paige was in to her drugs and Bill wanted to get her some, she was along on the trip like his pet dog, she was a very subdued person, more like moon on the water in terms of her personality.

‘They were clearly well acquainted with each other, it didn’t seem like a new thing. As far as I know they dated for a while.

‘Paige always seemed in a stupor, a daze, like he was controlling her. All I remember is that their relationship wasn’t healthy.’ 

'Paige was a young thing who was very much taken advantage of by the men of Hollywood, she was intelligent and talented, it's a tragedy what happened to her.'

Cosby – whom has recently become the subject of at least 17 sex attack allegations dating back to the late 60s and 70s – was obsessed with Young who had caught his eye during his many visits to the glitzy Playboy Club where she worked on Hollywood’s Sunset strip.

Cosby was also a regular at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles as he and Hugh Hefner began working on many projects together. 

 

Young was found dead on April 7, 1974 in her West Hollywood apartment.  In a scene reminiscent of a 1970s B-movie the model’s lifeless body was discovered lying on a blood soaked American flag on her double bed
