Well, probably not. However, she managed to wear an EXTREMELY see-through shirt to some MTV Music Awards a year or two back.
Totally worth checking out. Nothing like the Ryder “nipple through a sheet of rippled glass” stuff above.

One can’t discuss nudity starting a celebrity’s career without mention of the lovely Norma Jean Baker, AKA Marilyn Monroe. Her nude shots not only started her own career, they started Playboy. That’s an accomplishment.
Marilyn appeared in PB in 1953, years after making significant impressions in The Asphalt Jungle, All About Eve, Don’t Bother to Knock and over a dozen other movies. Though it certainly was a sensation and made her a bit notorious, it certainly did not “start” her career.
Darn! I thought for sure it was Mr. Skin.
And my pick…Jessica Biel. Please.
Are we limiting this to movie appearances? I recall Drew Barrymore’s Playboy spread, but if she’s done full frontal in a movie I must’ve missed it. (She didn’t really bare it all in Poison Ivy, IIRC.)
I thought Paris inflicted herself on the world because of a sex video “accidentally” leaked on the Internet. Anyway, I don’t get the appeal. I could throw a dart at a map, go to that location, and find several hotter women than Paris in 15 minutes or less. I actually find her moderately repulsive.
Come, now! She’s a Hilton heiress! Money is the best aphrodisiac! 
Yes, but those nude shots were taken in 1949, a year before The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve. The only reason they didn’t appear in Playboy until 1953 was that the magazine didn’t exist until then. In her movies previous to the nude shots, she had only bit parts, and was not yet a star.
Scarlett Johansson wanted to do a nude scene, so she’s a candidate. A wonderful, magnificent, candy-like candidate. My shorts are getting smaller thinking of it.
I refer to some pool shots as “Paris Hilton shots.” Doable, but only just.
And yes, there’s plenty of Paris kicking around on the intarwebs. Try a google images search. Just make sure safe search is off. AHEM Not that I’d know.
Wow. That’s really naked.
You missed that? That’s what got her kicked off Seventh Heaven, mostly.
Well she has a sex tape and insists on getting out of cars while not wearing underwear and surrounded by paparatzi. I swear, I’ve seen that girl’s vag more than she has.
You and me and the rest of the world. 
:smack:
Boys on the Side. I don’t remember any full frontal, but there was certainly some major toplessness.
Well it never hurt Helen Mirren 's career, though I think she did most of her baring on screen.
To get back to the OP, the original Buffy, Kristy Swanson, appeared nude in Playboy in November 2002 and revived her career so much that she was featured in Fox-TV’s recent show Skating with Celebrities, conclusive proof that appearing nekkid does revive a career.
…excuse me. I have to…wipe.
