An Interview with the Notorious Bettie Page

Bettie Page (April 22, 1923 December 11, 2008) was an American model who became famous in the 1950s for her fetish modeling and pin-up photos. She was also one of the earliest Playmates of the Month for Playboy magazine.

"I think that she was a remarkable lady, an iconic figure in pop culture who influenced sexuality, taste in fashion, someone who had a tremendous impact on our society," Playboy founder Hugh Hefner told the Associated Press. Her later life was marked by depression, violent mood swings and several years in a state mental institution. In the 1960s, she converted to Christianity and served as a Baptist missionary in Angola. After several years of obscurity, she experienced a resurgence of popularity in the 1980s and had a significant cult following. Her look, including her jet black hair and trademark bangs, has been iconic within the rockabilly subculture and has influenced many artists.

At 5:58 the guy says "she's pushes Jayne Mansfield to second".......WRONG!!! She's number ONE!!! Second, on 6:17 another guy says "She's like the girl next door". WRONG AGAIN!!! Bettie said it herself "I was never the girl next door"! She's the best pinup model of all time and she was never the girl next door! Get it straight! Bettie Rules!
