Dreaming of more Bettie, found a career in modeling and posing for photographers from this very encounter.  Bettie Page's early career involved her working with a photographer to create the first of many pin-up calendars. Not long after her popularity grew! She posed for dozens of photographers throughout the 1950s and became one of the first pin up models. Her playful, sexy, and confident attitude led her to pose for Playboy in the centerfold in the January 1955 issue. Little did Bettie know, her career would later land her a story in the comic book world.
