Bettie Page: Dark Angel is a 2004 film directed and produced by Cult Epics founder Nico B.
Bettie Page is played by fetish model Paige Richards. The film premiered at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival in February 2004.
Bettie Page: Dark Angel is a biopic based on the last three years of the short career of Bettie Page, a famous American 1950s pin-up and bondage model. Set in New York during 1953-1957, the film faithfully recreates six lost fetish/bondage 16mm featurettes she did for Irving Klaw. Her bondage films and photographs gave her the nickname Dark Angel and also led to a US Senate Committee investigation.
Famous quotes containing the word dark:
“The soul’s dark cottage, battered and decayed,
Lets in new light through chinks that Time has made:
Stronger by weakness, wiser men become
As they draw near to their eternal home.
Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view
That stand upon the threshold of the new.”
—Edmund Waller (1606–1687)
