'''Bettie Page''' (b. April 22 1923, d. December 11 2008) was an American model and pin-up of the [[The Fifties|Fifties]] who was famous for her fetish modelling and often called the "Queen of Pinups". Her signature look has influenced several celebrities from [[Katy Perry]] to [[Dita Von Teese]] and she was one of Playboy magazine's earliest ''PlaymatePlaymates of the Month''s. Her fame was mostly in the 1950s but there was a resurgence of popularity in the [[The Eighties|1980s]] that continues, to one degree or another, to the current date.
