Bettie Page Dies of Pneumonia
Model Bettie Page, 85, died last night from pneumonia after being hospitalized last week in Los Angeles for a heart attack.
Albeit years after her new life in Christianity, Page helped rock the 60s into a sexual revolution with her classic pin-up bikini and lingerie photos. Before that in 1955, she became Playboy's second ever Playmate, following Marilyn Monroe. Her more scandalous photos were censored after Congressional Committee hearings.
And despite all that, she is said to be one of the most photographed people of the past century.
