Summary
Film director Mary Harron's films include I Shot Andy Warhol and American Psycho. She's directed and collaborated on the screenplay of the new film The Notorious Bettie Page: The Pin-Up Sensation That Shocked the Nation. Bettie Page was considered the "pin-up queen" from 1950 to 1957 from the photographs of her in the men's magazines Wink, Beauty Parade and Titter. She also posed for private clients in photographs and short films featuring her in S&M scenarios. Harron says of Bettie's photographs, "She's like Betty Crocker coming out with a tray of cookies, and yet she's posing with a whip. She's so wholesome and at the same time she's very sexual."
