You might be famiilar with Betty Page or at least the cartoon series that evolved from her. Unfortunately, Betty Page has recently passed away at a ripe old age of 85 years. She can be said to be one of the very first sex symbols of the modern world.

She was one of the first models who gave life to the term pornography where she was one of the first Playboy playmates to appear nude on Playboy magazine. Needless to say, she shot to fame extremely fast with all the pent up desires of men suddenly having an outlet through Playboy.

However, she soon decided to step out of the limelight and her modeling career after becoming a Christian. She even went to Angola as a Baptist missionary! Talk about extremes! Whatever the case, Betty Page revolutionized the entire modeling industry with her boldness to go where no women has gone before.
