Who did the original of this iconic girl?

Ever since I photographed her in Montreal a few months ago, I thought that I would easily remember where the original source cam from. Obviously I didn't. And then, yesterday, I was contacted by a guy in Santiago, Chile, who found another version (flipped).
I know her. Who is she?

Isn't that Bettie Page?

Despite the bangs, that doesn't look much like Betty Page to me. My first thought was Fay Wray, but the hair's not right... perhaps it's an actress from another b/w horror film?

That's Dave Stevens's Betty Page, as originally portrayed in The Rocketeer and then other comics.

Yes, Bettie. Sorry.

I second the ID of this as a Dave Steven's Bettie. Very close to this version.
