For those who think you don't know Bettie Page, well perhaps the name eludes you, but her image you certainly know. It's on TV every week, it's in children's comics and animated films... it's Xena: Warrior Princess. Xena, the statuesque, raven-haired beauty, with bangs, piercing blue eyes, dressed in leather, leather boots, and carrying a whip is the direct descendant of Bettie. The producers even made Lucy Lawless (the actress who plays Xena) dye her naturally sandy-blonde hair black to play the part. Bettie fans can see bits of Bettie pics and films in every Xena episode... the fight scenes, especially with her beautiful blonde-haired nemesis, Callisto, seem to be directly choreographed by Irving Klaw himself, and the underlying lesbian subtext of the show fits perfectly with many of the short bondage films Bettie did. No doubt, Bettie's legacy lives on in many other shows, comic books, movies, models, and stories... but none comes as close as Xena: Warrior Princess.
