Attitude more young actresses should have


Great attitude from Phoebe, ladies.

“If the film, play or any project I'm involved in requires some sort of violence or nudity to advance the plot, scene or character in any way, then I would be considered unprofessional not to oblige. Of course, I want to make sure -- and I think I always have -- that the scenes are shot in good taste. I try to have some control; now that I know what I'm capable of including in a contract, I can continue that control. Nudity is not something I necessarily want to avoid and yet it's not the most fun thing in the world to do. It's part of the job as far as I'm concerned because you bare yourself emotionally and that's just as terrifying as baring yourself physically. It's all part of acting.”

Phoebe Cates has always been class personified. God love her. Kevin Kline is 1 lucky sumbitch.

Absolutely on both points.

The only reason anyone has every heard of her is because she showed her tits in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

reply

I wouldn't say that's the only reason. There were also the Gremlins movies.

Well no one has heard of you.

Female sexuality, sexuality in general is just out of style in entertainment.

Where the hell did you hear that nonsense? From the same people who claim having straight white men as lead hero characters has gone out of style?

Nudity and sexuality will never go out of style. Filmmakers are just terrified of being roasted by the small group of people that claim nudity is offensive to women or being sued later by actresses who agreed to be naked but then claim they were forced to do it.

Those pitch fork carrying militant whiners and their ridiculous histrionics are just as bad as the narrow-minded puritan censors of the 40s and 50s.
