The Notorious Bettie Page Page #3
I'd like to see your figure
in profile.
Okay.
All right.
Now, this is a trick
that a lot
of photographic models use.
If you put this
in your swimming suit top,
it will enhance your bustline.
This is all lumpy.
Well, you have
to put it underneath.
Oh...
Oh.
Good.
Now give me saucy.
Good, Bettie.
Great, Bettie.
Great!
Yeah, the poses are great.
Now, I have an idea.
Would you mind
if I changed your hairstyle?
Come, please.
You have a high, round forehead.
There's nothing wrong with it,
but it catches the light.
But if we covered it...
it wouldn't catch the light,
and it frames your face.
Yeah, I see what you mean.
- Yeah? Shall we try?
- Sure.
Austin, Green & Dunleavey.
How may I help you?
Yes, sir.
- Hi, I'm Bettie.
- I'm Art. Step this way.
Did Jerry tell you
what the setup is?
You can change in there. The other
girl still has a half hour to go.
That's Maxie.
You can learn from her.
She knows all about
the three essentials...
clothes, pose
and expression.
- "Clothes, pose and expression."
- Over here, over here.
- Maxie, this way.
- And look over here.
- Over here.
- Down here to the right.
- You'll get your turn.
- Maxie, we're dying over here.
Don't forget us boys
in the corner.
- Oh.
- Very good, Maxie.
Can you bend over
on one leg?
- No, like this.
- Hey!
Hey, no touching!
Do it again and you're out on your rear.
You don't have
There's no funny business here.
I see to that.
You think
you can do it?
I can sure try.
Let's see that smile, kid.
Turn to me.
Lift that leg a little bit.
Yeah. And higher.
- Mmm...
- That's nice.
I saw it. I saw beaver.
- You're dreaming. It was a shadow.
- I saw it.
- Mm-hmm.
- What's her name?
- It's Bettie.
- Hey, Bettie.
Can you bend over
for us a little bit?
- Please?
- Show us your keister?
- Hello, keister.
- Very nice.
Nice.
That's good.
To want or need
a mask to hide behind
Comes from a distrust
of ourselves.
It comes from our fear
that we ourselves are boring.
All right.
Now, let's try to go back
to that first
object exercise...
recreating two minutes
of ordinary life
when we're alone.
Bettie,
would you like to show us
what you've been working on?
The curtain rises
and you are sitting on stage.
You are alone.
You sit...
and sit. At last,
Nothing could be simpler,
could it?
The curtain rises...
Bettie, my angel,
it's not necessary
to remove your clothes.
I'd like to try the exercise next
if I may.
Okay, Marvin.
Ahem.
Curtain rises.
Curtain down.
You see,
Marvin sat...
and waited,
and did not act anything.
