Majas nro.35 - Bettie Page pop icon
Bettie Mae Page grew up with a troubled childhood stemming from a broken home, molestation, an imprisoned father and a brief stint in an orphanage. As she got older, Page sewed her own clothes, traveled the world and paved her own way. After an unsuccessful marriage, she brushed herself off and got back on the road with big dreams of becoming a glamorous star.
By her mid-20s, Page was a top pinup girl in New York City and named Playboy’s Playmate of the Month in 1955. She signed with a renowned photo agency and appeared in over 250 photographs, which shocked the nation and arguably made her one of the most famous pinup model of all time.
As she caught the attention of Americans nationwide, her fame came at a price: Eyebrows raised at her scandalous bondage photographs. American society was not ready at that time to see women exploring their sexuality so openly without shame or regret. Page never apologized for being comfortable in her own skin, and America could not accept her behavior.
