For a time during the Eisenhower era, Bettie Page was everyone's favorite pin-up, the girl next door who doubled as the Dark Angel. She starred in the fetishistic work of Irving Klaw and added sultry glamour to Fifties erotica. Her legend secure, Bettie vanished, turning up nearly four decades later in California, the unknowing star of the Bettie boom. Photographer Bunny Yeager, known for her outdoor work with Bettie in Florida, shot this rare studio pose in 1954.
