Pinup legend Bettie Page died yesterday in LA. She was placed on life support last week after suffering a heart attack and never woke up. The iconic secretary-turned-model was 85. The AP reports:
Page, who was also known as Betty, attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure in bikinis and see-through lingerie that were quickly tacked up on walls in military barracks, garages and elsewhere, where they remained for years.
Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.
“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 on Thursday. “She was a very dear person.”
If I could travel back in time and start this site in the 1950s, Bettie Page would’ve been in the So Freaking Hot section every single day. But at least I know she’s sitting on God’s desk now and “Oops!” She dropped her pen…
Rest in Peace, Bettie.

A legend for sure.

After suffering…what?

Without a doubt the most popular pin-up girl of all time, and definitely one of the top 10 most influential women of the late 20th century. She will be missed

The third pic isn’t Bettie, it’s Gretchen Mol playing Bettie in ‘The Notorious Bettie Page’

now THAT is what a woman’s body should look like….
Veskit | December 12, 2008 at 10:40 am
She was a proper good looking girl. None of the skinny or plastic freaks you get these days.
She always smiled in her pics. THATS what makes it so sexy. She looks happy. Who wants a miserable pouting woman?
RIP. and thanks for the joy you brought
Freebie | December 12, 2008 at 10:43 am
OMG – look at her boobs. They look strange. Why don’t they look like orange halves bolted onto her chest. What’s wrong with them?
mimi | December 12, 2008 at 10:46 am
I will never understand why anyone would call this woman sexy. Her proportions are all terribly off. And smiling all the time is VERY crude. She was a vulgar pervert actually.
No loss.
Massa' | December 12, 2008 at 10:51 am
she had a really nice body for that period of time. Most women were pretty over weight back then. She had sexy legs. But back in those days, women weren’t very much into feminine hygene. I can’t help but think how those untrimmed hairy cooters must’ve stunk back in the day. The WWII generation really were the bravest hero’s of our time, imagine going down on an untrimmed mess that hadn’t been bathed or douched? wow….
mimi hater | December 12, 2008 at 10:52 am
WTF seriously?

THE THIRD PICTURE IS GRETCHEN MOL PLAYING BETTIE PAGE – TAKE IT DOWN PLEASE, THAT’S DISRESPECTFUL TO THE REAL BETTIE, R.I.P Thanks!!!!
Em | December 12, 2008 at 10:55 am
Heya, Mimi? You might be on the wrong sight if you have problems with vulgarity, perverseness, crudeness, and misproportioned women – and I’m just talking about the “women” who are typically found on this site.
Oh, and Ms. Page’s proportions were 36-24-35 in the height of her career. Rather perfect proportions, really. Just different and oddly/old-fashion styled lingerie.

Have a nice weekend!

#9… they are real tits. Also the bra of the time.

Zim | December 12, 2008 at 10:56 am
She was… and will always be HOT!

No surgery, no airbrush, no photoshop, no diet drugs, supplements
no organic low fat, gluten free no cal diet foods.
A real woman.
Bob | December 12, 2008 at 11:00 am
She proved that you dont have to be a stick figure to be sexy, however, that is not an excuse to let yourself go either…
#11 – LOL.. Hadnt thought about that.. it would’ve been kinda skanky…

What a beautiful iconic woman. Her passing is so sad, but at least she will be remembered forever. I wish that women with bodies like hers could be revered in that way again…none of this anorexic tanning bed look that everyone’s going for. And I love that she smiles in her photos. What a woman. She will be missed.

Oh, Mimi – I forgot to mention: Ms. Page, while divorced three times, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink (she was a fan of root beer), played piano and guitar, got her teaching degree, and was at one point a secretary. WHAT A SKANK!
meee | December 12, 2008 at 11:02 am
aww. RIP.

I’m fairly certain that #9 and #10 are being sarcastic…
Just Damn | December 12, 2008 at 11:04 am
@ 10
I am now convinced that Mimi is a total butch-dike.
This dumb ass would not know sexy if it wrapped itself around her hairy ass bush.
Do us all a favor and go find a Shitney story to pump your ego up on.

Other than the fact she was probably the only chick willing to be photographed naked in the 50′s what was so great about her? If I was around in the 50′s I never would have had even a slight urge to fuck her in the ass. I would have been too busy building a time machine to get back to the future where chicks like her with thick cottage cheese asses are a dime a dozen and where I could enjoy more pleasing sexual interludes with girls Anne Hathaway who have sweet spanky asses and like to go out to get shitfaced then get buttfucked in dark alleys.
Jrz | December 12, 2008 at 11:09 am
Hey, Holly, you’re my favorite…..I saw you on STUPID CUNTS WHO SPAM.COM. Your profile mentioned you like to make an annoying pain in the ass out of yourself on celebrity gossip websites
p0nk | December 12, 2008 at 11:10 am
mike will still drink her douche water.
P Roberts | December 12, 2008 at 11:10 am
she made it into a couple of mainstream movies, right?
Jennyjenjen | December 12, 2008 at 11:13 am
Mimi~ It will be no loss when your 70 cats eat you alive.
sameshitdifferentyear | December 12, 2008 at 11:23 am
Wait a minute, let me get this straight..
It’s no loss that she kicked the bucket, because she smiled??
Ted Mosby | December 12, 2008 at 11:31 am
RIP Ms. Page.

I’m sure if she was a 20 year old today all of you prick guys would say she was fat and ugly
RIP

Thumperchica | December 12, 2008 at 11:35 am
Pin Up Icon, she will be missed.
English Bob | December 12, 2008 at 11:40 am
She was totally hot….Fact.
Mimi, a litlle bit jealous are we pet..?
Parker, seriously, dude, are you Craig from Malcolm in the Middle?

Dude, that third picture is Gretchen Mol.
caljenna | December 12, 2008 at 11:46 am
Shame on some of you. You weren’t around back then, you have no idea what you’re talking about, stop spouting crap just to get a reaction. It’s boring and stupid and not funny in the slightest. She was a brave and beautiful iconic figure, and she will be remembered fondly…
Eva | December 12, 2008 at 11:47 am
RIP
But, her foot is dirty in the last pic.
Pathetic Worm | December 12, 2008 at 11:51 am
Dirty feet is a fetish.
Word.

RIP Bettie. You were truly a class act.

If the 3rd picture is someone else then she was a butterface! no disrespect!

Now this is how a woman is supposed to look. Not like these twigs and tranny-looking ‘celebrities’ now…

I agree, same with Marilyn.
Micky Mc | December 12, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Is the broken chair in picture #3 a fetish of some kind?
john | December 12, 2008 at 12:16 pm
sad sad. she was awsome a true girl who didnt care what people thought. RIP
kate | December 12, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I see Parker is more into anorexic twats than someone who actually looks like a woman.
