Pin-up legend Bettie Page – she of the iconic bangs and lusciously all-natural body- began her career as a professional peeler for camera clubs in the 1950s. With the production of nude photos still illegal, Bettie rose to hush-hush skin superstardom thanks to the kink-tastic photos and exploitation reels of Irving Klaw , then hit the mainstream with a Playmate of the Month centerfold in the January 1955 issue of Playboy . A Senate Subcommittee investigation into the nudie pic industry and her conversion to Christianity led to Bettie’s disappearance from the scene in 1957 at the height of her popularity. Thankfully a revival of interest in the late 1970s brought Bettie back into the public eye, and even today- more than 50 years after her career as a pinup queen ended- the image of Bettie Page posing for bondage pics with an impish grin and girl-next-door appeal can still give skin fans a raging retro boner. Now the new documentary Bettie Page Reveals All (2013) is illuminating the life of its mysterious, ever-mesmerizing subject with vast volumes of vintage snapshots and film clips from her eye-popping, show-stopping acts. Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Mark Mori gathered more than 20,000 pics of Bettie for the flick- including rare never-before-seen photos. Plus there’s personal narration from the audiotapes Bettie made before her death in 2008, and commentary by foxy superfans like Rebecca Romijn and Dita Von Teese ! Thanks to our pals over at Music Box Films we have an exclusive nude clip from the film. See it after the jump!
