Cult Epics - 2004

Directed by Nico B
Music by Chris Stein (Blondie)
Danny B. Harvey (Swing Cats)


Starring
Paige Richards

Review by Mike Porciello

What many people don't realize, is Bettie Mae Page (4/22/23-12/11/08) was a very haunted beauty, suffering sexual abuse by her father. Tragically, it may have led to her being at ease wearing next to nothing, and posing for fetish-like pictures; providing pleasure for the minds of many from
the 1950's onward. The woman's beauty was absolutely stunning, and be it a good or bad thing, her sexual provocation opened the doors for many a magazine, movie and in some way surely helped shape the porn industry into what is today. Unfortunately, "The Pin Up Queen" had to go through
hell to get to heaven, and live a hell-like life later on. Goodness prevailed, and it really is a tribute to her style, grace, beauty, and inspiration that she did experience a massive resurgence in popularity,
later on in life! To that I say Amen!

Bettie Page: Dark Angel, stars Paige Richards in a story told through artistic license. Depicting a young woman from Nashville, Tennessee, Ms. Page divorced, and lonely, travels to New York City, to work as a secretary, and "make it big". Eventually meeting Bunny Yeager, Page's flair for the dramatic takes her to the top of the world! Paige Richards (although with brown eyes, as opposed to Bettie Page's deep rich blue) black bangs, hips and all, with ease, captures the finesse of Bettie Page's most famous poses! Watch as  the delicious looking Ms. Richards taunts you with delight on the famous Whip Dance! Not a completely true retelling, but a nice tip of the hat to the face nobody can ever forget!
Rest In Peace, thank you for the memories.
