Bettie Page

Bettie Page became known for her direct gaze into the camera and iconic pin-up girl bangs as a model, but there are so many things that people don’t know about her. And boy, is her life a whirlwind. Bettie went through a lot in her early years as a child, more when she started modelling and her later life was filled with such violence and trauma.
