[QUOTE=brianjedi] Kathy Bates, in that Jack Nicholson movie a couple of years ago. [/QUOTE] I believe she also took it off in _At Play in the Fields of the Lord_, as did Tom Berenger, Daryl Hannah and a whole bunch of Amazonian natives. ---

Yesterday, I was watching _Sense and Sensibility_, and saw an older male actor who I recognized. I was also uncomfortably sure that I had somehow seen him nude, but I couldn’t place where that had happened. I IMDB’d him and cleared up the issue: he had played Gerald, the elder statesman of the stripping group in _The Full Monty_. Weird to see him playing a dignified regency British gentleman on his death bed in _S&S_. ---

Colm Meany in _The Road to Wellville_ - not that you get full-frontal, but still - Colm Meany! I’ll skip over the bit about “colonic massage”, shall I? ---

The Kathy Bates movie was _About Schmidt_. Two big ole fun bags right up on the silver screen when she’s climbing into the hot tub with him. ---

[QUOTE=The Weird One] I’m trying to put together a list of several movies that include nude scenes by actors and actresses that you wouldn’t expect to see in the buff. So far, the movies a friend and I have come up with (and the featured nudity) are: SOB (Julie Andrews) Love! Valour! Compassion! (Jason Alexander) The Cooler (William H. Macy) **possibly The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen (Uma Thurman (but it’s only a brief boob shot))** Italian Stallion (Sylvester Stalone) Wild Things (Kevin Bacon) my friend came up with this, though I don’t personally think a Kevin Bacon nude scene is all that surprising Something’s Gotta Give (Diane Keaton) What are some others? [/QUOTE] I don’t know why Uma is a surprise, she spen a lot of time nude in _Henry and June_. ---

[QUOTE=Evil Captor] Helen Mirren, “Age of Consent” – yummy. I mean, yum-mee. [/QUOTE] In the UK, Helen Mirren is famous for getting her kit off. I saw her on stage once, in the Duchess of Malfi, which involved partial nudity. We went as part of a school trip to the UK, and one of my friends remarked, while reading the cast list in the programme - “Helen Mirren! She was in \*[Hussy](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080908/) \*” - well within earshot of the teachers. IIRC Hussy had an X rating (18) and we were slightly younger at the time. But then again, I doubt that those particular teachers would have known what she was talking about. I came into this thread to mention **John Cleese** in A Fish Called Wanda. ---
