Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Real Bettie Page


Bettie Page's life is revealed in an intense biography about the pin up girl's life. As a silent movie/burlesque model Bettie was a sexual queen who was always grasping at a normal married life. She yearned for fame but longed even more for a steady home life that was not possible.
