I know Natascha McElhone has done some nude scenes in the movie of Picasso and Solaris, but it seems to me that she refuses to appear nude again.
Does anyone know if she has said something about not stripping anymore or something?
Thanks.

sharePlease tell me which seasons of Californication I can get maximum steamy scenes of her?
shareThere are absolutely zero. Unless you count Rob Lowe leering while she appears to be putting on her shoe.
shareCan't speak for her, but after having 3 kids maybe she's not as willing to show off her body anymore, pregnancy can take a toll on the figure.
shareA lot of actresses refuse to do nudie scenes when they reach a certain degree of stardom - latest I know of is Emilia Clark from GoT - after she raised to stardom in GoT, and Terminator, she wouldn't do nudies anymore, and demanded a body double on the set. And she got it.
- then there's those that don't give a shlt and do nudies even after they turn sixty or more - like Helen Mirren - and a Julianne Moore also do nudies, although she's not sixty yet. She's only fifty-five!
And then there is those who always said they wouldn't do nude scenes, but when their stardom starts fading, all of a sudden they apparently had no problems with nudity after all:
¤ Eliza Dushku always said she wouldn't do nude scenes, but when her star started to fade, all of a sudden we saw her tits in a locker-room scene, in some TV-show.
¤ Shiri Appleby: Wouldn't do nude scenes at ALL, but then she suddenly showed some of the most raunchy sex-scenes ever shown on cable-TV.
¤ Neve Campbell: Also said she would never do nude-scenes, but like the others, when her star faded, all of a sudden she showed full nudity, not once but several times.
- and that's only a few of them.

But that's just my opinion. 💀
I think there's 4 nude trajectories for actresses:
1) Agree to appear nude early in their career. Probably gets them a part that they wouldn't get if they said no. If they gain some non-nude traction as actresses, they can refuse nude scenes indefinitely until their star fades.
2) Stars who gain fame early on, often in TV, can basically never need to do nude scenes if they don't want to. They have enough fame/bargaining power that it's not really necessary.
3) The artsy and/or desperate late career nude. Often used by actresses whose sell-by date is past looking for a career bump. They were either never-nudes or early-only nudes. Often the nudity is extensive full-frontal or involves an especially salacious scene. It's debatable how valuable it is, maybe it's a single paycheck, maybe they wind up doing a few more nudes, but I doubt many get a huge career boost without doing more nude scenes.
4) Always nudes -- actresses who have consistently done nude scenes throughout their careers. Strangely this is a weird mix of both highly regarded talent (think Kate Winslet) and low-talent exploitation.
I'm kind of always puzzled what the conversation would be like between someone like Winslet, who has done a lot of nude work and received a lot of awards, and someone like McElhone (or similar) who says "I won't do nudity". I can't decide if the "no nude" crowd is totally driven by their feelings about being nude or how much if it is just business, like they'd do it, but they're just not getting the price they want. Maybe it's a question of how much influence/star power they carry on the project, with the big stars getting benefits like cleared sets during there scenes, influence over how their scene is staged, etc, and the "medium" stars basically being told to show their tits.
