Pinup Queen Betty Page Dead at 85

She drove guys crazy with her sultry looks, and there weren't many guys in the 1940s and 1950s that didn't have calendars bearing her sexy poses (of course, that would be different if some of those said guys were married. Damn, those jealous wives!)

But now, she's gone.

Born Betty Mae Page on April 22, 1923, Page altered her first name to 'Bettie'. She was a schoolteacher before becoming the bondage queen that guys- from the 1940s, even up to this present day- would drool over. She also had roles in films and TV. But, she'll forever be immortalized as one of the most sultriest women ever to grace the planet, and one of the earliest Playboy Playmates.

Page died Thursday, in Los Angeles, from pneumonia. She was 85.
