Under the Radar - The Notorious Bettie Page (1246 words)
Bettie's Southern charm, introspective self-consciousness, bemused naivete, perky physicality and pursed-lipped sauciness in front of the lens all are accomplished by Mol with equally unwavering ardor.
Bettie is introduced, in smoky fl and white (photographed by Mott Hupfel) in a pan-up from her feet as she waits to appear before a Senate subcommittee investigating the influence of bondage-themed pornography on adolescents.
The lasting appeal of Bettie Page’s photographs and stag films largely can be attributed to the playfulness and sense of fun that she effuses in them, despite the fact that she was portraying acts that were unspeakable, even unheard of, in the ‘50s.
Bettie Page - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1270 words)
During one of the annual pilgrimages to the sun, sand and surf she adored, Bettie Page met Bunny Yeager in Miami, Florida in 1954.
The "Jungle Bettie" photographs from this shoot are some of her most celebrated and include nude shots with a pair of cheetahs.
After Bunny Yeager sent shots of Bettie Page to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, she was featured as "Playmate of the Month" and centerfold for Playboy magazine in its January 1955 issue.
