Nick rented “The Notorious Bettie Page” HBO movie that was out in 2005. It was really great! If you like really well done biopics, you’ll love this one. The cinematography is awesome and Gretchen Mol is the perfect Bettie!
Anyway, after the movie I came back here to google some info about Bettie – like is she still living? Wikipedia is your friend! yes, Bettie is still alive and will be 84 years old this year. Here are some good links for Bettie info:

Look how BEAUTIFUL she still is! Pic of her at 80 in 2003: http://mike.wordpress.com/2006/02/09/176/

She set the standard: 36-24-36 (her actual hip number is 36.5)
Wow, I”m blown away by how beautiful she is in that pic of her with Hefner. Just DAMN. Talk about some good genes!!
