Beckinsale a "Vision"
Kate Beckinsale has to be one of the most beautiful women of our time. She is absolutely gorgeous and her charm is without compare.
sharetotally agree!
shareUnfortunately she used a body-double so she probably isnt so beautiful all over.
sharein which scene did he used stunt for her body ?
shareAh....in the sex/nudity scenes? *points out the obvious*
Though I am not sure she used a double. If she did she must have used one hell of a identical one.....
Yeh, I'm female and she is gorgeous... She is one of the only famous females I'm actually jealous of... lol :s

Dude, you see her topless when she pulls her shirt off by the lake. No editing, no half-shots of her body. You see her face. That's her, not a double. As for the sex in bed, I don't know. But the lake scene is proof she's got a great body.
"Dear God,
Give a bald guy a break. Amen."
Must have been either someone else, or editing. She said so herself, she doesn't do the nudity thing.
sharethe dvd is offered on ebay as an uncut and unrated version. any idea if it contains more of kate nude than the u.s. r rated version?

Duz all you guys want sex with a corpse? How much?
What is the sound an imploding pimp makes?
Yeah, but it ain't, because there's her head, there's the top half of her body, in the same shot. The sex scene is a body double for the full-body shots, but her actual verifiable breasts are definitely in this film.
shareBut you're mistaken. You never see her actual face in the same shot as her naked body. Her head is always turned away during the nudity. Furthemore, you can clearly see the double's face through the trees when she emerges from the skinny dipping.
shareShe definitely used a body double in all her scenes. You never saw her face and body all in one and if you did it was a far off shot with her face turned slightly away. This was evident when her brother was painting her and then kissed her. Far off long shot at first and then the kiss with face show only. When she was at the lake she took off her dress but hid her face with the dress and in the next shot her body wasnt shown. Clever editing.
shareJust to state for the record from Kate's Bio:
"Meanwhile, Beckinsale was having a rough ride. Tired of playing young innocents, she took the part of the mischievous and possibly malevolent siren in Haunted. Directed by Lewis Gilbert, who'd helmed Alfie and Educating Rita, and co-starring Aidan Quinn and Anthony Andrews, this was a superior ghost story but Beckinsale - quite reasonably - had a problem with the nudity and sex. Though originally a tiny part of the screenplay, this exponentially expanded as shooting began. "I despise that", she said later, just as she despised it at the time, demanding the use of a body double."
I didn't see anyplace where she used a body double. In the sitting for the portrait? Her. In bed having sex with Aidan Quinn? Her. Where is there evidence of her having a body double? Nowhere. That is her, in all her ravishing perfection. This girl is just flat-out stunning. One of the few actresses today who can just take off her clothes and look gorgeous, sexy, and poised at the same time.
shareGet over it bro. She used a body double for ALL the nude scenes. You never see her face in a close up while her character is nude. Not once. When she gets out of the lake nude, if you pause it, you can even tell that's not her face. You don't see her nude body in the same shots as her face when she's in bed with Aidan Quinn, nor when she's being painted.
it wasnt her. a double was used at all times. i worked on the film
shareDefinitely a body double. By the lake, the shot you mention does not show her face. The shirt is covering her face when it cuts in and does not show her face before it cuts back out. Clever editing when she is nude, seated for the painting as well. I am sure she has a wonderful body, perhaps as good or better than the one we see, but not the one we see in this film. This movie made me think of the book "The Woman in Black".
