Just rented a nasty Grade-Z thriller called PERFECT VICTIMS. I didn’t even know she was in it, but Jackie Swanson, who was Kelly, Woody’s girlfriend in “Cheers” was naked and very, very pert. I just always pictured her as Kelly and never as anything more. Not that I’m bummed. Any other examples you care to share? ---

Slightly off topic I know, but I recently saw the first ever episode of Stargate SG1 shown at a late hour. Halfway through there is a scene where Daniel’s wife is implanted with a Go’a’uld, and she is totally naked. Its full frontal as well. My jaw hit the floor, not because of her body (although it was very nice), but simple because it was on a mainstream tv show. I thought it was handled very well. It did make sense for the plot and wasn’t done gratuitously. ---

She played the girl who got drugged and jumped off the balcony of the building, which kind of set the whole movie in motion. Looked pretty good then too - some of us thought she looked familiar when she started _CHEERS_. ---

I was surprised that Sigorny Weaver showed her breasts in “Death and the Maiden”. That’s the only movie that I know of where she did any nudity. Caught me totally by surprise. ---

After Angie Dickenson’s career as a superwoman-cop on TV, she did a movie where she picks up a guy in a museum and sleeps with him. Later she gets murdered in an elevator. (What the hell’s the name of this movie?) There are a couple of nude shots of her, one of which at least, was a body double. You can clearly tell which shots were her, and which ones were the double. She was well past her prime when she did the movie, and AFAIK she had never done a nude scene before, not even when she was at her hottest. Strange that she would do it so late in her career. ---

Body Double, NugMagnet. My dad said he saw Angie doin’ it doggy style in some other movie, a long time ago. Gutsy broad, that Ange. ---

I’m surprised, nay, shocked at the cinematic innocence of some of you folks. Angie doin’ it doggy-style would be in _Big Bad Mama_. Bad news: the guy in bed with her was Bill Shatner, trying to hold his stomach in. That movie also has a nice well-lit full frontal from Angie, who at 43 was lookin’ might fine. (Note: in the crappy sequel, _Big Bad Mama II_, Angie and Robert Culp had a love scene in which both 50-something actors were doubled by 20-something body doubles. Possibly intended to cause laughter. The same movie had toplessness by Danielle Brisebois, whom you may remember as the little girl on “Archie Bunker’s Place”, the later version of “All in the Family”. She was 18 by then, and had sprouted impressive breasts.) (The other Angie Dickinson movie mentioned was _Dressed to Kill_.) Sigourney Weaver has done nudity in several movies, notably _Half Moon Street_ (which I don’t recommend otherwise) and the recent _Map of the World_. Here’s one that surprised me: in the recent _Swimming Pool_, 58-year-old Charlotte Rampling was seen in a lingering full-frontal shot, rather close-up. Of course, she’s always been an actress to take risks. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nude-scenes-by-actresses-you-dont-expect-to-go-nude/213876.md?page=2)
