The Notorious Gretchen Mol

FilmStew has posted a re-purposing of a piece I penned for the theatrical, ahem, exhibition of  director Mary Harron’s The Notorious Bettie Page. Even if it’s a performance in search of a movie, the lovely Gretchen Mol does a fine job, imbuing the titular pinup queen with a natural sweetness that belies her troubled past (and future, since the film centers chiefly on a very specific portion of Page’s life.)
