movie devoted to her. This is shot in 'Glorious B & W'.
The story starts with an arrest in a NYC bookstore for 'obscene'
material (which had no nudity!). Flashback to her teenage
years, her abusive marriage, her rape, her moving to NYC,
entering a Beauty Contest, posing on the beach, posing in
a studio, gets her new hairstyle, clothes pose expression,
taking acting classes.
Bettie sees another gal posing topless & then poses topless & full
