	Under the Radar - The Notorious Bettie Page
		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
		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.

	'The Notorious Bettie Page' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		Bettie Page was neither the alpha nor the omega of pinup posing, she didn't do it first or last, but no one before or since has brought the same kind of incandescent delight to the job of being photographed in bathing suits, bondage apparatus or nothing at all.
		Page's ability to come completely alive in front of the camera made her a cult figure during the post-World War II years of her prime and a modern popular culture icon whose official website has received about 600 million hits since 2000.
		Page just misses out on a college scholarship and marries young to a violent husband, whom she leaves only to be sexually assaulted by a group of men.

		Bettie Mae Page (born April 22, 1923), sometimes known as Betty Page, is an American model and pin-up girl, active mostly in the 1950s.
		Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Page's parents divorced when she was 10 years old, forcing her and her sister to live for a year at an orphanage.
		This was the diary of "authoress" Betty Ehrenborg-Posse, which she wrote during a stay with Kisamor in 1839.

	Movie Review - Notorious Bettie Page, The - eFilmCritic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Bettie Page was a sweet-natured and unassuming young lady from Tennessee who stumbled into fame (some would say infamy) after a failed marriage and one too many unsuccessful acting auditions.
		Page looked at her work as harmless fun, mainly because she was so innocently and blissfully unaware of how many leering perverts the world possesses.
		With another actress, Page would have been portrayed as a vamp, a vixen, a tease, or a harlot -- but those who knew Bettie Page considered her a true innocent; a woman with the face of an angel and a body built for sin, but underneath it all was a truly sweet soul.

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE
		Bettie poses for a male photographer in a period style (late '40s or early '50s) bikini and he gives her advice about placing tissues into her top to accentuate her bust (she does, but jokingly complains about it looking lumpy).
		Bettie models for many photographers at once in a small period style (1950s) bikini that shows cleavage and part of her bare butt when she turns around and follows their directions for posing.
		Bettie poses topless for a female photographer (we see many views) and then does so fully nude, but due to the positioning of her body we don't see full nudity.

	The Notorious Bettie Page : film review
		Bettie Page (Gretchen Mol), "pin-up girl of the universe", sits alone outside, waiting to be called in to testify, and as she whiles away the time reading a letter from her sister Goldie back home, her thoughts drift to her Nashville childhood, and the sequence of events that brought her to where she is now...
		To be sure, the young Bettie has her fair share of traumatic experiences - sexually abused by her father, beaten by her soldier husband and gang-raped by strangers - but all these are presented with such oblique economy that it is never clear to what degree they should be regarded as influencing her subsequent life.
		Once Bettie reaches New York and is 'spotted' by a photographer at Coney Island, she is quick to become a star of glamour magazines and saucy postcards, thanks to her good looks, her palpable sense of fun and her comfort with nudity.

	NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE
		Currently in post-production, the HBO/Killer Films' production "THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE", stars Gretchen Mol as 1950's model 'Bettie Page', one of the first dark-haired sex icons in America and target of a government 'witch hunt' based on her posing for 'bondage' pin-up photos.
		In 1957, Bettie quit modeling, had a failed marriage, then entered a religious seminary, where she worked as a Christian missionary.
		Now in her 80's, Bettie Page lives in southern California, and reportedly has not received one dime of the hundreds of millions of dollars that has been earned through the exploitation of her name and image over the past 50 years.

		She is the model from “Bettie Page in Bondage.” And while her image in lace-up leather boots tells one story, the latest snapshot of Bettie and her sister Goldie, taken after church in Nashville, tells another.
		Page is fully ensconced in the vocabulary of high fashion as well; in a February 2005 photo shoot for W Magazine, Renee Zellweger was styled after the pin-up model, with bangs and fl hair.
		Bettie accepted the values of her time in that she felt her proper destiny was to settle down with a husband and kids, but she was also a free spirit, a natural bohemian.

		I have here a 3-DVD set called "The Bettie Page Collection," in which Bettie says the bondage work was pleasant because "we were always tied up by Paula, who was gentle and didn't make the knots too tight." Except for that time she was suspended from two trees.
		I looked through Bettie Page's photos and films hoping to find the same kinds of clues that must have inspired Mary Harron, who directed "The Notorious Bettie Page," and Guinevere Turner, who wrote it with her.
		Bettie Page is still alive in her 80s, and corresponds with some of her faithful fans, also in their 80s.

	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.
		Bettie came from Nashville and grew up in a religious culture that would always have been part of her.

	The Notorious Bettie Page Movie Review - The Notorious Bettie Page Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		With her dark bangs and wide eyes, Page was a singular presence in post-World War II smut: She indulged depravity with the efficient cheerfulness of a woman taking out the trash.
		A dirty secret in the 1950s, Bettie was rediscovered in the 1980s and '90s -- long after she had turned to Christianity and retired -- and reclaimed as an outlaw hero by various alt-culture constituencies.
		Yes, Bettie was a template for our darker urges, but there's no conflict to provide the movie with a motor, and after a while it glides alluringly to a halt.

		Page often denied that her photographers were anything less than gentlemen, but like other stories, that proved to be a stretch.
		Bettie Page was adorable, but ten years past her prime; the model admitted to setting back her biological clock.
		Bettie Page knew better than to fade before the eyes of her enchanted fans; she remains semi-secluded, living modestly; a legend with dignity in an age without regard or respect for either dignity or legends.

		The Notorious Bettie Page spans a period from the mid-1930s through the mid-1950s, following Bettie from when she's a teenager until her retirement from posing.
		Those unfamiliar with Bettie's life might assume that this is another story of drink, drugs, and debauchery.

		Although Bettie was victimized throughout her life and her story had all the makings of a self-destructive tragedy, she maintained a sunny and positive outlook and had an innocence that makes her quite endearing.
		The scenes of Betty Page in Miami were in beautiful koda chrome that lent itself to visions of vacations in the fifties where all the women are beautiful and all the men were Mr.
		The problem with a biography of a sensation such as Page, despite the probable truth of her attitude toward life and her career, is in the manner in which the story is told.

	The Notorious Bettie Page
		With her jet fl bangs and aura of innocent-yet-playful sexual charm, Bettie Page not only became a pinup sensation in the 1950s, but has since become something of a feminist icon.
		But while Page is instantly recognizable to most people, many of those same people would be hard pressed to recount even a single fact about her life.
		Page’s sexual abuse at the hands of her father is so obliquely alluded to that most will miss the reference altogether, while Page’s disastrous first marriage is covered in a thirty second montage.

		She, like Page, was also a favorite of photographers---most notably Bernard of Hollywood.
		I have never seen Bettie in films until recently, and she shows here she is more attractive and seductive when in motion.

	'Notorious Bettie Page' reflects underground of 1950s Americana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Page hasn't posed for photos or made a movie since 1957, yet her image may be second only to Marilyn Monroe in terms of pinup recognizability.
		Part of it is that Page retired at the top of her game, and has refused to let photographers shoot any new photos, even when a resurgence in her popularity began in the late '70s.
		One reason could be that the real Bettie Page was under contract to a now-defunct rival film that was in pre-production at the same time, so Harron and Turner couldn't conduct a one-on-one interview.

		Posed in ersatz bondage scenarios, she exerted a bizarre girl-next-door appeal in calendars, comic books, and trading cards but was more notorious than famous until "retro" interest in her burgeoned long after her heyday.
		Bettie's like their goddess." Between those waves, Page seemed to disappear, prompting speculation that she had died.
		Foster explains where she was: she developed a propensity for attacking people with serrated kitchen cutlery and came to figure more in crime reports, trial records, and mug shots than in pinups.

		Still, the bursts into vibrant color for Page's "nudist" photo sessions, as well as for her visits to Florida, reveal one significant downside: Mol comes dazzlingly alive in color in a way she doesn't in B&W, which increasingly puts a mild damper on the predominantly shades-of-gray picture.
		As shaped here, Bettie's life is heavily determined by her unguarded acceptance of proposals made by men during chance encounters.
		Pic is particularly derelict on the last count, as it presents a Bettie Page with no active emotional life and scarcely a sexual one.
