Bettie Page made history as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in January 1955, earning the coveted title at the age of 31. Bettie proved that desire doesn't fade with age-it deepens. Her confident gaze and refined sensuality lit up every frame.

Bettie Mae Page endured a challenging childhood before eventually finding her way to New York City, where she began her modeling career. In 1950, she met photographer Bunny Yeager, who captured some of her most famous images, including the famous jungle-themed shoots featuring Bettie in leopard-print bikinis and with live cheetahs.
Bettie's career soared as she became a favorite among pin-up enthusiasts, appearing in magazines, calendars, and postcards. Her natural confidence, uninhibited poses, and radiant smile set her apart from other models of the era. She had an unparalleled ability to embody both the girl-next-door charm and sultry sophistication, making her a beloved figure among men and women alike.
In addition to her mainstream pin-up work, Bettie became known for her fetish-themed photography, which was bold and unconventional for the time. These images, often shot for Irving Klaw, pushed societal boundaries and contributed to conversations about sexual freedom and personal expression. Bettie's fearless approach to modeling challenged taboos and left an indelible mark on the industry.
Despite her immense popularity, Bettie stepped away from modeling in the late 1950s and disappeared from the public eye. She spent much of her later life out of the spotlight, turning to religion and embracing a quieter lifestyle. In the 1980s, however, a resurgence of interest in her work led to a revival of her fame, introducing her to a new generation of admirers.
