May 21, 201410 yr Gretchen Mol as Bettie Boop ( Bettie Page) In 2004, the blonde beauty had the role that proved to be her acting breakthrough, playing the brunette bombshell The Notorious Bettie Page (2005). Many brunettes have gone blonde, but Mol - the blonde who went brunette rocked the screen with her presence. Her embodiment of the legendary Bettie Page garnered excellent reviews and propelled the flick into art house hit status. The lovely, svelte, blond Gretchen Mol may not look exactly like the voluptuous brunette Bettie Page, but Mol understands the pinup legend from within. Both are polite, well-bred small town girls who moved to New York and found themselves thrust upon the entertainment world. Bettie Page's life was filled with cult myth, mystery and sadness. Her image captured the imagination of a generation with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality, during an era of strong sexual repression. She was the quintessential pin-up, tacked up on walls in military barracks and garages; five decades later, some feminists still hail her as a pioneer of women's liberation. It has been estimated that over 20,000 photographs of Bettie were taken, and new generations of fans still buy copies by the thousands
