R.I.P. Bettie Page
Bettie Page was a Southern girl alone in the big city, who worked as a typist by day and took drama classes in the evening, hoping to overcome her accent to find work as an actress. She just did what she had to do -- and what she liked to do -- to pay the rent. She was always comfortable in her own skin, preferring to be naked at home, so it was easy to pose for some pictures for her boyfriend, an amateur photographer. It was he who suggested she alter her haircut, letting her bangs cover most of her forehead. It became the look she was famous for, along with that fetching smile. She eventually posed for numerous discreet cheesecake shots wearing bikinis or not, and she made most of the swimsuits herself, as she thought the department store styles of the time were not sexy enough.
