Pin-up icon Bettie Page dies at 8

American glamour model and pin-up girl Bettie Page has died at the age of 85.

Raven-haired pin-up icon Bettie Page, whose provocative magazine photo spreads helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, died Thursday at 85.

"She was a remarkable lady, an iconic figure in pop culture who influenced sexuality, taste in fashion, someone who had a tremendous impact on our society," said Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, who featured Page as his then-fledgling magazine's January 1955 centrefold.
