Tahnee or body double?


In the scene where Kitty walks into the pool and Steve Guttenberg says "Don't take off your skin, I like skin on a girl," for a split second you see a nude figure with a fine @$$ - was that really Tahnee Welch, or a body double?

It's her. she said it in some interview. Moreover she has a very characteristic shape of arms so there can't be a mistake. And if you slow down the scene you'll see that a$$ is so greatly shape that you can see something more between buttocks :-) Yummy

Given she's the daughter of Raquel Welch, I think that she probably has no need for a body double, but if you want to do a little forensic analysis, I think she was in Playboy. Find the pics and compare.

I foresee some administrative post deletions here, although I agree. :)

I use to have that playboy picture of her. You know in the article, they talked
about the sex scene with Steve Guttenberg,she said that Steve had told her he
wasn't acting. He actually had an erection. She wasn't so pleased to hear that.

exactly, why would she be pissed about this

he is a human being, she is a very attractive women

sex is part of life, and attraction is, how we are wired

such a daft and precious response

It's unprofessional to admit those personal details. There's not enough Yuck in.The universe.

It's always suspicious when you can't see the face of the actor/actress. For a revealing shot like this, it means body double has been used.

But this time, I think it's really the actress and not a double. A minute before we can see her climbing out from the water in a swimsuit (shot from the back too, but eventually she turns back to camera), and she looks great.

(And yes, I realize this is a ten year old thread.)

Mr skin seems to think body double

reply

I don't think they have any hard evidence. They're probably just going by the statistical probability.

Of course it is *possible* that it is a double, however we could see the actress in swimsuit from behind for a glimpse. She didn't look like she needed it.

I commented on that scene on YouTube saying that Tahnee Welch who played Kitty in the film looks so much like her mother, Raquel and I got a reply saying that Steve Guttenberg who played Jack in the film looked so much like his Uncle Nigel. I don't know if that's an uncle on his mother's side of the family or his father's side of the family. Does anybody know?
