Stars in Rewind: Goodbye, Bettie Page.

I'm sorry to post that the LA Times has reported that Bettie Page passed away Thursday night at the age of 85. The news comes after the pinup icon had spent a few weeks on life support following her heart attack earlier this month. In her memory, I thought I'd whip up a rewind for the film based on her life -- The Notorious Bettie Page, which starred Gretchen Mol as the lady with the black bangs.
In the clip below, Page gets introduced to the world of modeling and pin-up girls, and soon finds her smiling face gracing a myriad of magazines. While the film only received moderate buzz, most seem in agreement -- Mol did a heck of a job as Page, and carried the film right into a number of decent reviews.
Rest in peace, Bettie. You'll be missed.

No one could touch Bettie, no one. She was one in a million. She was part girl next door part sex kitten. She looked like she was always having fun. She will be missed! :(

"She looked like she was always having fun." Always; and, effortlessly. - RIP

To say there will never be anyone like her is a humongous understatement. She had an innocence that no one seems to have possess any longer. You can see it in her face in those old photos.
