Here's a backup shot. I know there's one with a Cadillac. Just have to find it. I think she might be tied to the hood.

They sure don't make them like that anymore -- the 50's Cadillacs and Bettie both!!!

Today's "starlets" have so much cosmetic surgery it's really hard to tell what's
"real" and whats manufactured!!!  I would guess about 90% are faked or maybe
"restored" is a kinder word.

I'd say "resto-mod" is more accurate!

 I too thought her features were a little more "refined".  I wonder if she's just a little younger in that photo.  I found it on a Bettie Page site labeled as her so who knows?

Whoever she is she's a knockout.

It looks like her to me ,   Why would anyone doubt it .  the picture has to be 65 years old .

That is not Bettie Page and the photo is not 65 years old, it's a "retro" [ie. modern] photo, but well done , original clothing etc. The photo is captioned "Bettie Page hair", that hair style has become known as the Bettie Page style.

That's Gretchen Mol, She was cast as Betty Paige in the 2006 film "The notorious Betty Paige"

Worth a watch

This question occurs to me: If Elvis were an up and coming performer of today as he was in 1956, what brand of today's cars would he drive and present to those to whom he wanted to give as gifts??
