Does It Get Any Better Than Bettie Page In Her Birthday Suit?

A cult figure, Ms. Page was most famous for the estimated 20,000 4-by-5-inch black-and-white glossy photographs taken by amateur shutterbugs from 1949 to 1957. The photos showed her in high heels and bikinis or negligees, bondage apparel, or nothing at all. Decades later, those images inspired biographies, comic books, fan clubs, websites, and commercial products – Bettie Page playing cards, dress-up magnet sets, action figures, Zippo lighters, shot glasses – and, in 2005, a film about her life and times, “The Notorious Bettie Page.”
