Bettie Page: 1923-2008

The queen of the pin-ups, Bettie Page, has passed away at the age of 85.

A pop culture icon, Page was the subject of several documentaries and two biopics, Bettie Page: Dark Angel and The Notorious Bettie Page. The latter starred Gretchen Mol (in a Satellite Award nominated performance) and was co-written by Guinevere Turner.

I'm sorry to hear she died, her life was so tragic though!

It was, wasn't it? "The Notorious Bettie Page" barely scratched the surface.
