We're finally getting some new images of actress Gretchen Mol as Bettie Page in the upcoming theatrical bio-pic The Notorious Bettie Page. You can see Mol as the pin-up queen here, here, and here.
The Notorious Bettie Page will premiere September 14th at the Toronto Film Festival.
"The film follows Page from her childhood in Nashville to New York, where she moves to pursue her acting dreams. To make ends meet, Page starts modelling and soon gets into nude photography; it is not long before she is posing for sado-masochistic fetish pics. She becomes the first celebrity bondage model in the United States and finds herself at the centre of a Senate investigation into pornography. Soon after, in 1958, she undergoes a rather sudden religious conversion and disappears from the public eye."
