Bettie Page, the brunet pinup queen with a shoulder-length pageboy hairdo and kitschy bangs whose saucy photos helped usher in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, has died. She was 85.
Page, whose later life was marked by depression, violent mood swings and several years in a state mental institution, died Thursday night at Kindred Hospital in Los Angeles, where she had been on life support since suffering a heart attack Dec. 2, according to her agent, Mark Roesler.
Bettie Page 1923-2008.

Aw, I've seen her pictures and she was super pretty and did amazing work. A friend of mine is fascinated with the old school pin-ups, this will really upset her.

The best thing about all those pictures? None of them at the time were photoshopped.

Nah, she'd been out of public life for a long time.
Sad story she's got there.

Aw man. Here's to a century when a nudiemodel could be a cultural icon.
