      Do you mean "The Notorius Beatty Page?" My wife is a serious Beatty fan and picked up a copy at Borders just yesterday. We watched it last night and it's quite good. The movie jumps around in time perhaps just a bit too much, but it could have been that I just wasn't paying attention well enough. My wife is a lot more familiar with the Beatty's story than I am, and she mentioned a couple places in the movie that weren't exactly accurate, but over all we both thought the movie was very good. Of couse in the end she "finds god" and quits modelling, which just re-affirmed my distaste for organized religion. But that's another story entirely. :-)

        I happen to agree with you about Organized Religion. The idea leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

          There's a review of this movie on MSN someplace. (Ran across the link today, don't have it handy now.) Apparently I liked the movie better than they did.

            Well, I have never put too much faith in the critics. Its all opinion no matter how they spin it.
            I have yet to actually see the movie myself. I have very little time lately and am too tired to sit through anything feature length.

    i finally saw it. it wasn't the best movie i've ever seen, but being a bettie fan i did enjoy it & thought it was well done. they made her seem very real & i did appreciate that.

      The actress who played Bettie did such a good job with the routine from Teasarama, which was one of Bettie's filmed burlesque shows.... They played it during the credits... I thought they were showing clips from the real film, but it was the actress. She had every move down!

    The story had a really lame structure and they didn't go much into Bettie's emotional life, but Gretchen Mol kicked ass as Bettie. Awesome body. Worth seeing for sure.
