R.I.P. Original Hollywood Pin-Up Bettie Page

Bettie Page, an infamous pin-up model of the 1950s, died on Thursday at the age of 85 from a heart attack.

The Notorious Bettie Page, a biopic of the star starring Gretchen Mol, came out in 2007.

Read the NYTime's appreciation here, and head over to PlanetBettie for an extensive gallery, which includes sections like "spanking" and "bondage." Turns out 1950s-era bondage photos are alternately creepy and hilarious (and at the time sparked a Senate investigation).
