Which film actresses over 25 or so have yet to show any of their special places in a film? Over 25 to keep from being perverted šŸ˜‰ , and to distinguish between those who simply arenā€™t going to do it and those who would do it but maybe just havenā€™t been in enough movies to get the chance. ---

[QUOTE=Wee Bairn] Which film actresses over 25 or so have yet to show any of their special places in a film? Over 25 to keep from being perverted šŸ˜‰ , and to distinguish between those who simply arenā€™t going to do it and those who would do it but maybe just havenā€™t been in enough movies to get the chance. [/QUOTE] The OP better enjoy it, since Portmanā€™s already suffering from Barerā€™s Remorse (courtesy of the IMDB): > [@](#): > > Actress Natalie Portman insists sheā€™ll never bare all on the big screen again after regretting a saucy scene in new short film Hotel Chevalier. The shots of the actress baring all in the film hit the internet earlier this year - months before the movie hit festivals in September. And Portman admits sheā€™s rather upset about agreeing to do something she felt awkward about in the Wes Anderson-directed prelude to _The Darjeeling Limited_. She says, ā€œIā€™m really sorry I didnā€™t listen to my intuition. From now on, Iā€™m going to trust my gut more. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is say no.ā€ ---
