In this interview, I talk with the directors of the documentary Naked Ambition Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch!
Naked Ambition is the first documentary to deeply explore Bunny Yeager’s world, who made an intriguing shift from pinup model to photographer, becoming obsessed with herself, inventing the selfie, launching Bettie Page’s career, and shaping modern pop culture images. Scholl and Tabsch discuss Bunny’s legacy, the portrayal of sexuality on screen, advice for young documentarians, and the evolution of women’s images in pop culture from the ’50s to today.
