Bettie Page, the 1950s secretary-turned-pinup queen who played a role in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, died Thursday at the age of 85.

Also known as "Betty," Page recently suffered a heart attack in Los Angeles after a three-week-long bout with pneumonia, and never woke up. She was placed on life support about a week ago but her family decided it was time to let her go.

"She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality," said her agent, Mark Roesler. "She is the embodiment of beauty."

From the LA Times:

Page was most famous for the estimated 20,000 4-by-5-inch black-and-white glossy photographs taken by amateur shutterbugs from 1949 to 1957. The photos showed her in high heels and bikinis or negligees, bondage apparel — or nothing at all.

“Decades later, those images inspired biographies, comic books, fan clubs, websites, commercial products — Bettie Page playing cards, dress-up magnet sets, action figures, Zippo lighters, shot glasses — and, in 2005, a film about her life and times, "The Notorious Bettie Page."

She was also the centerfold in the January 1955 issue of Playboy, and was well known for naughty personas. Her pictures were tacked on guys’ walls everywhere – at home, work and at military barracks. Her picture was reportedly plastered in more magazines than Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford combined. Some called it trash, while others called it women’s lib.

She used to say nudity didn’t bother her, AP notes, explaining: "God approves of nudity. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they were naked as jaybirds."

In the latter part of her life, Page suffered from depression, violent mood swings and spent several years in a mental institution. She also became a born-again Christian. As she aged, she stayed away from the camera.

"I want to be remembered," she said, "as I was when I was young and in my golden times … I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people’s perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form."

Farewell, Bettie.
