Bathing Bettie - 1950's


In 1953, Bettie Page took acting classes at the renowned Herbert Berghoff Studios, which led to several roles on stage and television.

She appeared on The United States Steel Hour and the The Jackie Gleason Show. Her off-Broadway productions included Time is a Thief and Sunday Costs Five Pesos.

Also in 1953, Page acted and danced in the feature-length burlesque revue film Striporama by Jerald Intrator. She was given a brief speaking role, the only time her voice has been captured on film.

She then appeared in two more burlesque films by Irving Klaw (Teaserama and Varietease).

These featured exotic dance routines and vignettes by Page and well-known striptease artists Lili St. Cyr and Tempest Storm. All three films were mildly risque, but none showed any nudity or overtly salacious content.
