Title: Bettie Page Film.
Post by: Misanthrope on 02 April, 2004, 07:11:44 PM
Looks like its in the pipeline at last.

Apparantly, she will be played by Gretchen Mol.

No, I've never heard of her either.

thank you O Trout, that was very kingly of you. Thanks also Dudley for telling me she was a 50`s porn star (although I probably would have guessed that she wasn`t a 1950`s economist)

yours now clued in

Floyd (well with it)

I wouldn't say a porn star. To the best of my knowledge she never went that far. But she did pose for some very risque (for the time) bondage photos.

In later years she became a notorious recluse as she did not want fans to see her 'old'

Therefore, I get the credit.

Oh, I suppose.

Well done for the arse picture.

 I hope she looks the part.

There was a big rumour among Bettie sites a while ago that Liv Tyler was in the running to play Bettie in a biopic of her life, but following the success of the Lord of the Rings movies I seriously doubt that very much.

Personally I love Bettie, have done since I was around 19 years old when I first saw a picture of her, even have a Bettie tattoo on my leg based on a Dave Stevens drawing.

If anyone is to play her though my hopes would be for Jeniffer Conoley (A Beautiful Mind, Hulk, The Rocketeer)as she looked so great in The Rocketeer.

Gretchen Mol?  Bah- Charisma Carpenter would've been a much better choice...
