LOS ANGELES (AP) – Cult idol Bettie Page is getting more attention now than she did 50 years ago when she posed in thousands of seductive pinup photos that appeared in magazines.

Her Web site – http://www.BettiePage.com/ – has received 588 million hits in the last five years, according to her agents at CMG Worldwide.

“I’m more famous now than I was in the 1950s,” she told the Los Angeles Times.

From 1949 to 1957, Page posed in seductive nurse, teacher, cowgirl, and jungle costumes, her hair styled in kitschy bangs.

“Being in the nude isn’t a disgrace unless you’re being promiscuous about it,” the 82-year-old said, reflecting on her career. “After all, when God created Adam and Eve, they were stark naked. And in the Garden of Eden, God was probably naked as a jaybird too!”

A film about her, “The Notorious Bettie Page,” is scheduled for release in April.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Oscar-winning Polish film director Andrzej Wajda rallied the crowd Sunday at a Warsaw rock concert, part of an event organized by Polish and Ukrainian artists in support of Belarus’s opposition a week ahead of a presidential election there.

“You are doing the right thing,” Wajda, 80, told some 5,000 youths at the concert where Polish and Ukrainian bands sang songs of Ukraine’s Orange Revolution and from Poland’s Solidarity freedom movement of the 1980s.

In the March 19 election, Belarus’ authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko is seeking a third consecutive term but is challenged by three other candidates, including Alexander Milinkevich’s main pro-democratic opposition.

Poland, which shed communism in 1989 and is now a European Union member, supports Belarus’ pro-democracy forces, which draw some of their strength from the Polish minority there.
