Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. (http://aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23049): "Now she takes on another decade and another huge theme, and does it by focusing on one of the most potent American sexual icons of the ?50s. Telling the personal story of Bettie Page allows Harron and her screenwriter, Guinevere Turner, to comment on the strange mix of repression and freedom that defined sexuality in that era. Bettie, played with glorious abandon by Gretchen Mol, starts out as a good girl, on track to become the valedictorian of her high school. When she falls just a touch short, things start to suddenly not add up to what Bettie had planned for her life. She suffers through one rotten marriage, then takes off in pursuit of a new goal, determined to act. She?s so innocent, so open in the way she approaches people that it?s inevitable she gets hurt, more than once. And still... there?s something sunny about her. Bettie never seems to give in to that thing that changes so many people in LA, that turns them bitter. And it?s not an act... it?s just something about her essential nature. When she stumbles into photography modeling one day on the beach (literally), it?s like Arthur pulling the sword from the stone. There?s something so natural about the way she simply embraces this gift she has. And it?s funny... you write that, and there?"
