Naked Ambition: Bunny Yeager

Directed by Dennis Scholl, Kareem Tabsch
United States
2024
73 mins

Bunny Yeager, once heralded as the world's prettiest photographer, had a huge influence on 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. Yet the very changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic... till now.

Directed by Miami film icons Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch, and 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.
