Ladies and gentlemen, the incredible full feature documentary film NAKED AMBITION, the story of Bunny Yeager, who once heralded as the world's prettiest photographer, had a huge influence in 20th-century pop culture though few people know her name.
Whether by popularizing the bikini, helping discover Bettie Page, shaping the image of Playboy or inventing the selfie, Bunny was a trailblazer whose work bucked against conservative 1950s America and helped pave the way for the feminist movement and the sexual revolution. Yet the very changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic...till now.
Featuring Dita Von Teese, Bruce Weber, and Larry King's last film appearance, Naked Ambition is a rediscovery of a brilliant and talented forgotten artist. Thank you Kareem for sharing this amazing documentary about Bunny Yeager with me today.
