Interesting doc about a fascinating person

Watched at the Oak Cliff Film Festival.Everybody has heard of Betty Page, but few have heard of the photographer who took many of her most iconic photographs. The fact that this photographer was herself a bombshell, known at the time as the "prettiest photographer in the world," makes the story even more interesting. With an abundance of footage and photographs, and interviews with heavy-weights such as Larry King, Bruce Weber and even Hugh Hefner (this last one archival), the producers create a compelling narrative filled with eye candy. It is highly entertaining and informative. The film never looses its focus, which is on the ground-breaking career of a gifted, hard-working woman who thrived in a men's world. Interviews with the two daughters, who have different views on their mother's work, add to the layered approach of the film.

Greetings again from the darkness. Most of us scoot through life never being labeled as "the prettiest" anything. That's fine. We accept it. Still, we apply the label periodically and it was Bunny Yeager who was known as "the world's prettiest photographer". Not many would argue with the designation as Ms. Yeager was an incredibly talented photographer, while also being described as a bombshell ... a pinup model and actress herself.Co-directors Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch previously collaborated on THE LAST RESORT (2018), and both are known for their focus on unconventional subjects. Bunny is no exception as she made her name in a male-dominated field after moving behind the camera from in front of it. If you are unfamiliar with Bunny, she was a popular pinup model who became famous for her work as a pinup photographer. You might ask how. Not only did she photograph multiple Playboy magazine centerfolds, her most well-known and popular subject was the very famous and immensely popular Bettie Page. Oh yes, Bunny also appeared in the magazine as a model herself.Whether you are a connoisseur of Bettie Page's poses or not, you likely know another of Bunny's most well-known photographs ... that of Ursula Andress emerging from the sea in DR. NO (1962), the first James Bond movie. It's truly an iconic cinematic shot. In keeping with this particular shot, Bunny is also linked to the increasing popularity of bikinis for women ... both in design and in mainstreaming. Bunny became a master of outdoor photography by defeating the confounding issue of natural lighting - giving her photographs a distinct look and feel.The filmmakers include some archival interviews (including Bunny and Page), and we see commentary from Larry King, Dita Von Teese, Bruce Weber, and even Hugh Hefner. However, what kicks this documentary up a notch (in addition to the dozens of photographs) is the input from Bunny's two daughters. It's fascinating to hear the two very different viewpoints from the women who were raised by Bunny. One finds her mother's work demeaning and exploitive of women, while the other has acted to preserve her mother's legacy, and is quite proud of mom's career.'Career' feels like underselling what Bunny accomplished. Sure, she was an in-demand model. Yes, she was a famous photographer. However, she also had an acting career, and authored numerous books that have influenced photographers (including Diane Arbus), even to this day. Bunny Yeager's ambition and dedication deserve to be celebrated along with her technical proficiency and artistic eye. It should also be noted that as tastes careened towards the extreme in the 1970's, Bunny refused to transition into the pornography world, despite the promise of big paydays. This was a territory that held no interest to her. Bunny Yeager, the world's prettiest photographer, deserves to be remembered.Opens in theaters on September 12, 2025.
