Bettie Page

Bettie Page (1923–2008) was an iconic model known as the "Queen of Pinups". She gained significant notoriety in the 1950s for her free-spirited, playful, and alternative photographs, which featured her signature jet-black hair and bangs. Page's career flourished through her work with various photographers, most notably Bunny Yeager (who shot her famous 1955 centerfold) and Irving Klaw, for whom she posed in both "cheesecake" pin-ups and daring photos and films. Her style challenged the conservative norms of her era and helped pave the way for the alternative revolution.
