To say that Bettie Page lived an
interesting life would be a huge understatement. Following a troubled
childhood during which her parents divorced, she entered the world of
modeling, specializing in fetish modeling, bondage, whips, spanking and
all. She appeared in many films with titles such as "Striporama", "Teaserama", and "Varietease" and appeared nude in various men's magazines, including Playboy.
During the late 1950s she began to take an interest in religion and at one time became a missionary in Angola. She withdrew from public life and suffered a nervous breakdown and suffered from schizophrenia.
There was resurgence of public interest in her life and career around the 1970s and Gretchen Mol starred as Bettie page in the film "The Notorious Bettie Page" in 2005.
