BETTIE PAGE Her Amazing UNTOLD STORY

SHE ENDURED DIFFICULT TIMES, BUT FOUND HAPPINESS IN FAITH AND A LATE-IN-LIFE COMEBACK

Bettie Page, the raven-haired pinup queen with signature bangs and va-va-voom curves, ditched her stilettos and disappeared in 1957. Decades later, unbeknownst to her, she'd become a pop culture icon. In her 70s and living on a fixed income, Bettie caught wind of her comeback when she saw her picture on a magazine cover at the checkout stand. "I wrote the article, and Bettie spotted it at a supermarket in Ventura County," recalls biographer and friend, Karen Essex, author of Bettie Page: The Life of a Pin-Up Legend. "She was stunned about her revival."
