Bettie Page (1923 - 2008)

Bettie Page, the 1950s pin-up girl whose natural looks and risque fetish poses triggered a cult following four decades after she turned her back on modelling, died today, aged 85 a week after suffering a heart attack.

The Web site, BettiePage.com, logs about 20 million hits a month, Roesler said. A TVGuide.com poll recently placed Bettie Page as the "ultimate sex goddess," outscoring others such as Marilyn Monroe.

RIP Bettie, you will be remembered for a LONG time!
