10. Kelly Preston in Mischief (1985)
Kelly Preston, wife of John Travolta, had some major roles in teen comedies back in the 1980s. While those movies were rife with breast shots (and Kelly participated in a fair number), there were also the occasional full-frontal nude scenes. Kelly had a scene like this in one of her very first movies: the 1985 teen comedy Mischief. In it, she plays a young woman who isn’t afraid to get naked. To to the artistic fashion of movies from the ’80s, the scene where she bares all is both bright and cheerful–unlike the gritty scenes of the decades to follow.
Plus, if you’ve ever wanted an answer to the age-old carpet/drapes question, you’ll get the answer in Mischief.
9. Helen Mirren in Age of Consent (1969) and Others
Helen Mirren is no stranger to nudity. She’s shown bits and pieces of herself in roles for decades. Her first bout with full frontal nudity was also one of her very first movies: the 1969 romantic comedy-drama Age of Consent. She even appeared fully nude in the 1979 cult classic Caligula. While she is now almost 70, that hasn’t stopped her from baring flesh in recent years as well. For instance, she showed her top half in the 2010 film Love Ranch.
She said in an interview about nudity in film, “As you get older, naked stuff gets easier. It’s more to do with the role than what men in the audience think. There’s a liberation about it.”
8. Kate Winslet in Holy Smoke & Jude
Kate Winslet is a very powerful actress on this list she has several full-frontal moments and she still hasn't slowen down even after winning an Oscar! Kate Winslet was born in Reading, Berkshire, into a family of thespians -- parents. She scored her first professional gig at eleven, dancing opposite the Honey Monster in a commercial for a kids' cereal. She started acting lessons around the same time, which led to formal training at a performing arts high school. Over the next few years, she appeared on stage regularly and landed a few bit parts in sitcoms. Her first big break came at age 17, when she was cast as an obsessive adolescent in Heavenly Creatures (1994). The film, based on the true story of two fantasy-gripped girls who commit a brutal murder, received modest distribution but was roundly praised by critics.
She also roundly praised by male web-searchers who still look for her full-nude momments!
7. Helen Hunt in The Sessions (2012)
Now Helen Hunt surprised everyone with her comeback role in The Sessions because huge absence from films and returns in full-frontal fashion! Helen makes the list for being a long time and accomplished actress and Oscar winner!! Helen Hunt began studying acting at the age of eight with her father, respected director and acting coach Gordon Hunt. A year later she made her professional debut and afterwards worked steadily in films, theatre and television.
But Helen Hunt will forever be remembered for her amazing full-frontal scene at the age of 49!
6. Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls (1995)
Elizabeth Berkley was born in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Her mother, Jere, owns a gift basket business and her father, Fred, is a lawyer. Her family is Jewish. When Elizabeth was five her parents enrolled her at Detroit Dance Company. Loving dance, young Elizabeth began to take part in several ballets, including "Swan Lake", and, in 1983, starred in some musicals (sometimes singing in Italian). Her screen debut was a role in the TV movie Frog (1987). She then got work as an extra in some TV series, including TV 101 (1988) and Day by Day (1988). In the summer of 1989 she was in Los Angeles and auditioned for a role on Saved by the Bell (1989). She got the role and became a TV star. After four seasons she left the show to try to break into theatrical films.
In 1994 she filmed four movies, the one that we scored big for this list is Showgirls!
5. Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct (1992)
When most people think of full frontal nude scenes, Basic Instinct often springs to mind. In an iconic scene in this 1992 erotic thriller, Sharon‘s character is in an interrogation room and, to intimidate the interrogators, she uncrosses her legs to show that she’s not wearing any underwear. While it’s just a brief instance of nudity, it became the talk of the town during the early ’90s and is still talked about to this day.
During a press tour for the 2006 sequel to the original movie, Sharon said, “People are just sitting there going, ‘I don’t care what she’s saying, I just want to know does she get naked in the movie? Is she naked? Nude nude nude naked, do I see her boobies?'”
4. Katrina Law in Spartacus: Blood and Sand (2010)
The "Starz" Spartacus series! Man I miss that show. Every week there was more and more to see! The women of Spartacus were all sexy and dangerous like Katrina Law's character (Mira) in particular helped orchestrate the demolition of Capua's gladiator arena and has also proven to be fierce in the field. In one skirmish, she even took a flying leap and landed on a Roman guard, stabbing him repeatedly. But of those accomplishments for that character, nothing could beat the amazing full-frontal nudity Katrina Law filmed through the Spartacus series. Which gave her the true spot on this list at 4.
Katrina Law is an American actress. She is best known for playing the roles of Mira in the Starz television series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Spartacus: Vengeance, and Nyssa al Ghul on The CW television series, Arrow.
3. Kristen Wiig in Welcome To Me (2015)
Kristen Wiig is known for her stand-out comedic roles in movies like Bridesmaids and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and outlandish sketch comedy on Saturday Night Live. And with that she has established herself as a comedy heavy-hitter. But pushing the envelope comedically isn’t all that Kristen Wiig is about which we learned in Welcome to Me. Wiig bares all to the audience, both physically and emotionally. Kristen Wiig plays Alice Klieg, an odd-ball character who has a penchant for The Oprah Winfrey Show and the lottery; she is also afflicted with borderline personality disorder (BPD). When Klieg wins the $86 million Mega Millions jackpot, she decides to take herself off of her medications and purchase her own TV talk show. This is a performance of immense naturalness and depth, one that never allows us to forget our essential kinship with Alice – and it’s much funnier for that essential truth.” One scene in particular exposes the audience to the uncomfortable dark side of Alice’s disorder. She aimlessly makes her way through a populated casino, confused, lost, and completely naked. “Being naked in a film or on stage isn’t always supposed to be sexy,” Kristen Wiig said in an interview in Violet Grey. In Welcome to Me, it demonstrates a vulnerability in the character, where the viewer is reminded that Alice is a person with real issues, not just a quirky character.
But this scene puts Kristen Wiig at number 3 on our list because of that fine line you knd of set in your mind that some people you will never see naked or sexy for that matter and already be accomplished and then doing a full nude seen is amazing!!
2. Sarah Silverman in Take This Waltz (2012)
Before Take This Waltz was even available through Video, On Demand, overseas video clips and before its theatrical debut back in 2012 June 29. So much was made of comedian Sarah Silverman’s full-frontal nude scene. How do I know it? Well, besides anecdotal evidence, Laughspin‘s statistics and pretty much any over media outlet showed me some pretty popular search terms that brought a few thousand users to the sites and searches like: “sarah silverman nude,” “sarah silverman naked,” “take this waltz shower scene,” “take this waltz nude scene,” “sarah silverman topless,” and…you get the point. Sarah Silverman is an American stand-up comedian, actress, producer, and writer. Her comedy addresses social taboos and controversial topics, such as racism, sexism, and religion, having her comic character endorse them in an ironic fashion. Which makes her full-frontal scene so addicting to fans or the general web searcher because she was already a house-hold name and she was know for her comedy and being with Jimmy Kimble and her song about Matt Damon.
But Take This Waltz gave us Sarah like we never thought we would see her and maybe never thought of. Which is why Sarah makes number 2 on this list.
1. Scarlett Johansson in Under the Skin (2014)
Scarlett Johansson may be one of Hollywood’s most beloved actresses right now. She was well-respected since almost the beginning of her career, but it was Johansson’s portrayal of Black Widow in the Marvel movies that really pushed her into superstardom. With all this in mind, it makes sense that Johansson would be selective about the roles she took, which is why it was especially shocking in 2014 when she bared it all in the sci-fi art-house flick Under The Skin, directed by Jonathan Glazer. In the story, Scarlett Johansson plays an alien who drives around in a seedy van, seducing men into her home, where they are then used as a sacrifice of sorts for a strange alien creature. The story is a loose adaptation of Michel Faber’s novel of the same name. The film deals with Johansson’s character coming to terms with her newly-found “humanity,” and the nudity in the film plays an important role in the discovery of that humanity. But the decision for her to go nude wasn’t one that she took lightly, and a recent interview with W Magazine revealed that she had very specific conditions under which she would appear fully nude.
“She was a totally different species, so her nudity was kind of practical. I also had black hair. That was my idea — I didn’t think I should be a blonde sort of bombshell. Naked, but not too sexy.”
The nudity in Under The Skin is definitely played for its rawness. It’s unglamorous and real in its approach, and it is quite refreshing for a Hollywood star like Scarlett Johansson to have to confidence to play the scenes as such. Despite the buzz and attachment of Johansson to the project, however, Under The Skin only managed to bring in $5.3 million on a $13 million budget — though the film still may manage to make back its budget from home release. But don’t think that Johansson is now going to stick strictly to the art house pictures. She still plans to reprise her role as Black Widow in Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and Captain America: Civil War. She is also attached to the Hollywood adaptation of the manga Ghost In The Shell, in which she will play the lead. Needless to say, Scarlett Johansson won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
