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.
“I was pregnant and naked, but I wasn’t naked at all, and at the end of the movie, I’m standing in front of a burning building with just a merkin. I felt so free,” Seyfried explained of her nude scene in the movie’s final moments. “You cannot see my butthole in [the scene], but I swear there is a prosthetic butthole there.”
Mills inquired to why the film’s production utilized the prosthetic if audiences never see it, to which Seyfried replied, “Just in case,” jokingly adding, “Gotta get people to the theater.”
Some decades ago when I was in New Orleans and the strip-teasers were limited to G-strings and pasties, one stripper’s pasties were colored a reddish brown. I, uh, had to study a while to determine that they were, indeed, pasties.
…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.
Allison Williams donned an entire prosthetic ass for an analingus scene in the HBO show Girls. Not sure whether it featured a prosthetic bunghole, though.
