ON FILM: Archie's Betty

  Archie Comics didn't have superheroes as their main characters.  Archie, Betty, and Veronica were average teens living lives that often paralleled those of their readers.  Host Charles Horak talks to filmmaker Gerald Peary, whose latest documentary, ARCHIE'S BETTY, investigates whether these iconic characters were based on real people.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Archies-Betty/1638526546375839

ARCHIE'S BETTY screens as part of the Plaza Classic Film Festival on Aug. 13 at 7:30pm in the Foundation Room of the Mills Building, 303 N. Oregon.  $5 admission.  http://plazaclassic.com

Aired Aug. 8, 2015
