 Bad Girls Go Everywhere by Ada Calhoun - Nerve.com Screening Room
There's not a lot of actual sex in the film, which follows Bettie Page from high school through the end of her modeling career in 1957, but there's plenty of sex suggested in the poses Page strikes, sometimes topless, as she becomes the most famous pin-up in the country.
Unspeakably hot, Bettie was a mass of contradictions: she loved posing naked, but was deeply religious; she was well-mannered and longed to get married but became infamous as the age's leading bad girl.
Clearly Bettie is a very inspiring figure to young women because she had a strong independent streak.

In a March 2006 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Page said, "Being in the nude isn't a disgrace unless you're being promiscuous about it." Yet her girlhood was extremely harsh: she was molested by her father and sexually assault by two strangers.
