Bettie Mae Page (April 22, 1923-December 11, 2008)
Now, this one's a little typical, I know, but I figured that since this is a new blog just beginning, why not put up one of the most famous Rockabilly Queens out there. I mean after all, she did start the "Bettie Bangs" trend. Page was a talented teenager. Her and her sisters tried out different make up and hair techniques to mimic their favorite movie stars. Years later, Bettie took these skills to her pin-up photography! She also made her own bikini costumes. After marrying her highschool classmate, Page went on to live a fabulous life in glamour photography. She also appeared on television programs such as : The United States Steel Hour and the Jackie Gleason Show. Page also was a centerfold in Playboy in January, 1955. Page died while in a coma after her family took her off of life support.
