60 Years Ago: Valentine Bettie Page

This wasn't really a Valentine's Day dance, but her red costume sure looks like a Valentine. This was model Bettie Page in 1950. She was born as Betty Page in 1923, and she was probably around 27 years old here. 

This video doesn't look sixty years old to me. I know that it is indeed from the 50's, but there was something timeless about Bettie Page. It could be the way she connects with the camera. Or, maybe it is also her hair. I still see many Bettie Page hairstyles today, in fact. There was something about Bettie Page. In fact, there is a movie about her called "The Notorious Bettie Page." You can see the trailer on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd252I7A6NE

 

 

 

Thank you to superalbertofilho for posting this original 50's Bettie Page film / video on YouTube.
