Picturehouse and HBO Films have teamed up in order to (re-)introduce us to The Notorious Bettie Page. What this means is a couple of new movie stills and a slick looking trailer.
The Notorious Bettie Page Trailer
Page was the ultimate girl-next door, and one of the most popular Playboy centerfolds. Page challenged the conservative 1950s, posing as a fierce dominatrix and earning both a cult underground following and Senate Committee investigation on juvenile delinquency, essentially a witch-hunt orchestrated by a senator from her home state of Tennessee bent on exploiting her as a stepping stone to the White House. At the height of her popularity, Bettie disappeared. But in 1979 and 1982, Page (a diagnosed schizophrenic) tried to stab several people to death and was institutionalized.
The movie trailer for The Notorious Bettie Page is pretty slick and I definitely love the cinematography used when she is posing in front of the magazines.
