> [@Chronos](#): > > I seem to recall that the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie had topless mermaids, but it was OK, because they were prosthetic breasts worn over the actresses’ actual chests. There HAVE been cases of prosthetic breasts in movies, but usually to give the actress more heft. For the 1975 movie _The Stepford Wives_, makeup wizard Dick Smith made much larger breast prosthetics for Katherine Ross to wear in her near-the-climax scene, where she’s actually playing one of the automatons. She also wore black scleral contact lenses for the scene, but director Bryan Forbes messed up the lighting and presentation for those. The breasts,on the other hand, photographed beautifully under her sheer nightgown. There’s a picture of Ross without the gown showing off the breasts in an issue of _Coinefantastique_ at the time. Ross said she wore them home to show off to her husband. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > 2.) Since, as the article says, you don’t even see it in the film, what’s the point? > > 3.) Why did she need a prosthetic? …this is all just standard nudity-rider stuff. The _point_ is that what is exposed on camera needs to be negotiated in advance with the agent/talent, as well as making sure they are in compliance with standards and practice. It’s long been accepted that you can get away with stuff as long as it’s a prosthetic. It sounds like there was potential for inadvertant exposure. So the production made sure the actress had coverage. And Seyfried thought that was funny, because it _is_ funny, so she mentioned it in an interview, and it got turned into a clickbait article. ---
