1. Jeanne Crain -- Camera Girl
   Midwestern farm girl Jeanne Crain falls in love with suave jazz band leader Dan Dailey, but their marriage is nearly ruined by the stock market crash in 1929. Fun old fashioned musical romance ... starring Oscar Levant and Barbara Lawrence. Excellent quality.
2. Betty Page
   Betty Page is the epitome of full-figured, tough sexiness. In an era of repression, she brought a "bad-girl" sensuality that is reflected in the rockabilly lifestyle and music. The Betty Page hairstyle, often modified to be shorter in back, is very distinctive and immediately evokes an edgy, hard-core attitude that is almost punk rock. Black hair, either straight or a bit wavy, short bangs, and longer in back - this haircut can't be confused with any other.
3. Anna -- Anna Nicole Smith
   Much like her idol, the fabled Marilyn Monroe, the life of Anna Nicole Smith was destined to be tragically short. Far from a fairy tale, the story of Smith’s life read like a page of pulp fiction: abandoned by her father at two, raised in the backwaters of Texas, and shipped back and forth between relatives all through childhood. And yet – somehow, this lonely little girl, miraculously and against all odds, eventually went on to follow in Monroe’s footsteps to become a world-famous model and celebrity. Patterning herself after the legendary starlet, Smith kicked off her career just as Monroe had decades prior – by posing for Playboy. Unfortunately, with her deep depressions, heavy drug abuse and subsequent premature death, the 39-year old pin-up queen ... followed the legendary Monroe to an early grave, under equally mysterious circumstances.
4. Farrah Fawcett -- Charlie's Angels
   Farrah Fawcett-Majors was the best-known star of the television series Charlie's Angels, even though she was only on the cast for one year and a few guest spots. A photo of Farrah in a red swimsuit was one of the most popular pin-up posters of the 1970s, and her layered, feathery-looking hairdo was among the most emulated hairstyles of the decade. She was married to actor Lee Majors from 1973 to 1980.
5. Veronica Lake
   Veronica Lake was born Constance Frances Marie Ockelman in Brooklyn, New York on November 22, 1922, and not 1919 as some biographies have previously stated. Her father, Harry E. Ockelman, of Danish-Irish descent,[2] worked for an oil company onboard a ship. When she was about one year old, the family moved to Florida but returned to Brooklyn before she was five. Her father died in an industrial explosion in Philadelphia in 1932 when she was 9. Her mother (née Constance Charlotta Trimble)[3] married family friend Anthony Keane, a newspaper staff artist, a year later, and Ockelman began using his last name.
6. Miriam Gonzalez -- Month
   Miriam Gonzalez is a Puerto Rican American pin-up noted for her large, natural breasts. She was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in March 2001 and has appeared in numerous Playboy videos and Playboy Special Editions. Besides posing for Playboy, she was ... a model for the glamour Web sites PinUpFiles.com [[1]] and PinUpGlam.com [[2]]. She was a former high school cheerleader.
7. Lil Kim -- Rapper
   Lil’ Kim ... hit the scene last night, dressed to kill in a revealing leopard print shirt of some kind. Photgraphers went wild trying to capture the rapper’s rare public appearance, one of the few since her release from prison.
8. The Brothers -- West Coast
   The Brothers GALLO is an online reality show, following two guys from Queens - Bradley and his brother Ross - as they make their way towards the West Coast, seeking fame and fortune. Or at least a decent haircut.
9. Dorothy Lamour -- Stars
   During the World War II years, Dorothy Lamour was among the most popular pinup girls among American servicemen, along with Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, and Lana Turner. Lamour was ... largely responsible for starting up the war bond tours in which movie stars would travel the country selling war bonds for the US Government to the public. Lamour alone promoted the sale of over $21 million dollars worth of war bonds, and other stars promoted the sale of a billion more.
10. Barbara Nichols -- Social Work
    Nichols was born as Barbara Marie Nickerauer in Queens, New York. She began modeling for pinup magazines in the early-1950s and for a period worked as a stripper. In the mid-1950s, she moved to Hollywood and began regularly appearing in second leads in a number of films including Miracle in the Rain (1956), The King and Four Queens (1956), The Naked and the Dead (1957), The Pajama Game (1957), Pal Joey (1957), Sweet Smell of Success (1957), and That Kind of Woman (1958).
