Dramatization of the life and times of pin-up girl Bettie Page, who became a photo model sensation in 1950s New York, at a time when the Senate - led by Estes Kefauver - was cracking down on the distribution of supposedly obscene imagery. We witness Bettie's rise to fame, from an unassuming Tennessee belle in Depression-era Nashville, to the studios of Movie Star News where photographers Irving and Paula Klaw reinvented her as a whip-cracking erotic icon of her time.
