I don't want to say Cameron Diaz is "past her prime" but no one is the same at 42 as they are at 32. Nev Campbell was the same way. When she was at her peak staring in Scream and a bunch of other flicks she had no nudity clauses in ever contract. Once she was an after-thought she was like "oh this was the right part to do it" Why the resistance for so long?
shareWell, like you said... it generates a lot of buzz when you're sort of forgotten.
I'm not sure why in their prime they feel that there is something wrong with it. I suppose they wanted to be respected as an actress for their acting ability first?
Kate Winslet hasn't really seemed to have much problem though, and she went topless in Titanic.
Yeah Kate Winslet was the opposite. She could hardly keep her clothes on in her 20s, but once she hit like 37 she was like "not anymore, I'm too old"
shareJennifer Garner did a TV interview (or several), and talked about how she could hardly keep her clothes on in college... streaking!
In the movies or TV? nothing
Now why do you suppose she even bothered to tell the story?
"No publicity is bad publicity."
Uh huh, even the haters complaining about getting duped into buying a ticket, and seeing 'nothing', is publicity...
Do some actresses 'think' they are still young?
Another of the old actresses 'teasing' audiences with that 'I'll be nude in <fill in the blank>!' is Jennifer Aniston. How many times has she done that... three that I can think of, with only "THE BREAK-UP" having a very blurred/out-of-focus, distant, back view. Her more recent movies had her insisting she would be 'nude' through the talk show circuits, but no show...
Strictly to get the "rubes" in for the show, (and their admission money!). I have to admit that individuals buying a movie ticket only, or even mostly, just for that pretty much get what they deserve though. **snicker**
And do you suppose the TV series SEX IN THE CITY was trying to "out" that FRIENDS actress in an episode when one of the women brought in some prosthetic "stiff nipples" that they tried on? **smirk** (I think that predated the Spiderman girlfriend-in-the-rain scene when he kissed Mary Jane, and that scene got a lot of "buzz" about real/fake...)
Now, the young ones are holding on to that 'first special appearance' for at least the "one more role" payday, (they hope). Unfortunately, there have been plenty of actresses that thought they could be 'nude' and leverage that into more movie roles, and failed abysmally at the acting part. When that is the case, they may never get that one-more-role.
By the time they want to use that, Playboy Magazine (and the like) won't take them for a photoshoot.
So much for gender equality... how many old(er) actors can get a movie role that way?
Other actresses that either had a future, or made a future with nudity were not bothered by showing nudity in their films.
Dame Judy Dench is one name. She has done such a volume and variety of films without getting type-cast as the-nude-actress that it would be unbelievable to suggest that happened with her. Just scratch your head for a few seconds and you should be able to easily add at least half a dozen more.
BTW, as I recall having read, Kate Winslett has something that pretty much no other actress can claim. She is supposedly a descendent of a Scottish Royal as I remember it.
actually loads of people are descendants of british royalty. much more common than you think. we've got soap actors here that are related to royalty
shareNot sure if you are a girl/woman but usually we tend to be more self conscious in our twenties and thirties. After that we don't give a rats butt anymore.
Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batcatt, then always be Batcatt.
[deleted]
trouble is, after that the audience doesn't give a rats butt anymore. An actress has a good chance to be remembered when she's been hot and taped right (think Jenny Agutter) but only a slim chance to be remembered for her acting skills (I'll remember Meryl Streep but really have to scratch my head for others come 30 years or so).
exactly, you have to do that in order to do your job as an actress. you have to give audiences what they want which is your sexy body!
shareWhen they are young they don't have to
When they are old they shouldn't.

^THIS^ & (for 40+) She's *STILL* FLAWLESS!
Rachel Nichols, Karolina Kurkova and Sienna Miller in G.I. Joe, ARE why the Cobras "RISE!"
she is without a doubt the worst actress ever. no one, and I mean no one has ever been a bigger c#@# tease than her an a bigger tart or tease than her. she's always had a thriving career in Hollywood because of her sexy, vivacious screen persona but she's never shown her boobs in a movie and that's the biggest crime ever because of her sexy screen persona she's always had. she is the worst!
shareWorse than Jessica Alba,January Jones or Paula Patton?
i am fire i am death
uh yeah, that's obvious because Cameron diaz has been around for 20 years now. Jessica alba has only been around for about 18 years January jones just got to Hollywod. so, did Paula Patton. though Jessica alba for a long time was just about the worst offender of: hot, young actresses in Hollywood who have never shown nudity in a movie. but she changed that at least a little bit in The Killer Inside Me. I read online that Jessica Alba showed her ass and one of her boobs briefly in that movie. oh, by the way January Jones shoed her boobs in a movie which just came to Redbox called something water.
shareI was talking about The Killer Inside Me. and how do you CGI nudity?
shareI saw Killer Inside me All I remember was her ass I did not see any boobs,In Machete shes in the shower and you see her boobs for like 3 seconds,yeah it was CGI they talked on the DVD,they do CGI nudity in some Movies like Angelina Jolie in Beowulf
i am fire i am death
what the f@@# are you talking about? what do you mean CGI was Jessica Alba in Machete? what does that mean? I mean how do they do CGI for a woman's naked body? and why would they do that? I mean it would be cheaper to use a body double for that scene in Machete?
shareI think you might need to add that the retail DVD extras talked about the use of CGI with Jessica Alba in the two movies mentioned. I do not believe the rental versions (Blockbuster, Red Box, and the like) had extras included on the DVD/Blu-Ray versions. If you don't know if that is true, check the UPC numbers, and you will find they are different on the rental and retail sales versions.
With Jessica Alba, even her dancing in the bar in the movie SIN CITY was NOT done with other actors, but was done with the "green screen" background, then added to the bar scene using CGI. Probably that was done for 'modesty' purposes; even though little was shown, the costume was risque, (for some people). If you want to see more of Jessica Alba, check out THE SLEEPING DICTIONARY, but it is out of print (OOP), and not easy to find.
The movie JASON X had a well-known actress playing a female android, and there was CGI used to make her appear to be topless, without nipples, while her creator attempted to add them... It was done for laughs...
Other uses of CGI include the movie PATHOLOGY with Alyssa Milano. While the actress is no stranger to on-screen nudity, there is no doubt she was not nude in that movie. The first big clue is that NONE of her tatoos were ever shown, (roughly five(?) and three are large, (right shoulder, back of her neck, lower right abdomen, plus inner right wrist and ankle)). There is a scene when a Y-incision is made by a coroner, and the CGI on that scene is very convincing otherwise. It is possible that the actress wore a body suit that was removed/enhanced by CGI, like Alba's boy shorts and bra in the scene in front of the mirror were removed. Possibly this was done because Alyssa is older than in her other nude scenes. I have only seen parts of a few episodes with her in MISTRESSES, and her clothing and hair has covered where the tatoos would be... and I understand she has left that series to raise a family now. (Congratulations!!)
For whatever reason, all her tatoos were covered in the first four seasons of the TV series CHARMED, (and the other actresses too), but sometimes the studio lighting got through the concealing makeup; after that, the actresses became producers in the show, and the tatoos were not covered, or concealed with makeup. Probably that was done because the show originally targeted a younger demographic, and tatooed women were not accepted at the time. The first two one-hour episodes of season 5 (A Mermaid's Tale) used CGI to conceal the transition from the "tail" costume to her skin, and conceal her tatoos. Yes, that is expensive...
I saw a talk-show interview with Jessica Biel about the "remake" of TOTAL RECALL when she mentioned all the "extras" that would only be on the Blu-Ray version, so I had to buy that. The extras talk a lot about how much CGI is used in the movie, and I was very surprised at how pervasive it was. CGI is now good enough that viewing a movie does not always reveal its use, even if you know what to look for as indicators. (IMHO)
he means that Jessica Biel was naked in one scene in Machete when she was looking at heself in the mirror but in the set she was wearing something like a bikini and the CGI made her looks like she is naked...
and for why she did that, the same reason why Cameron Diaz was not topless or naked in Sex Tape, they both do not want and do not like filming nudity scenes.
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!
but that's not right because their job as an actress is so fully give themselves to their craft which means to show nudity when it's required for a part. and also their job as an actress is to entertain so that means they have to show nudity for all the people who lust for them and want to see their boobs, ass, and bush.
sharetheir job isn't to get naked. it is to act. they are not filming porn. be happy with the body doubles and STFU.
Nothing but disgusting pigs in this thread...Go jack off to porn if you need to see nudity. Nudity adds nothing to the movies besides cheap thrills for neanderthal males that objectify and debase women.
Hello seestra, nice to see you again.
if Nudity adds nothing to the movies why almost all the actresses and big stars in hollywood have done sex scenes and nudity ???
and why you call the people in the thread disgusting pigs? because you do not agree with them?
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!
exactly! almost EVERY single big star and not big star in Hollywood, every single actress have shown their boobs in a movie and have made a sex scene for a movie. nudity actually adds a lot to a movie. it adds realism! that guy is stupid.
and, yeah, we're not disgusting pigs, we're just men and men like to see naked women as much as they can. we're not disgusting pigs we are just normal guys who like to look at and stare at hot naked women in movies! every guy likes to think about nude women in some way. we just like to talk about it and there's nothing wrong with that!
maybe he or she does not like nudity scenes in movies.
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!
Hollywood is full of pedos and perverts. Nothing but a porn obssesed town. Always has been. So many actresses go nude so they can get the good roles and advance their careers.
shareMany actresses, but NOT all. And there are varying definitions of "nudity" as well.
Liv Tyler (yes the daughter of a rock band member, S. Tyler) was in a movie titled STEALING BEAUTY, and was doing the talk show circuit before it opened. Johnny Carson asked her if she felt akward doing the "nude scenes", and she looked him squarely in the eyes and stated she was not nude! The really threw him off his planned interview! He was so surprised, he didn't even break one of his pencils!
She was topless in two scenes; the first being sketched by an artist with her blouse open and exposing one breast, and in a bath later, but mostly covered by a large tray across the tub. For many people, "nudity" is showing any of certain body parts. For many, (but fewer) people, topless is not considered "nude". Women are allowed to be topless in New York city, as part of the gender equality movement, as long as there is no lewd conduct, and where men are also allowed to not wear a shirt; the same is true in other cities.
Sandra Bullock has never (yet?) shown frontal nudity, (pasties used in some movies, like FIRE ON THE AMAZON, side view in THE PROPOSAL), and the same is true of Jessica Alba. Jessica started as a young actress, and 'owned' her ticket into the major actress roles that way; she was a known talent. Sandra got her big break as the driver of the booby-trapped bus in the movie SPEED, but actually was in the SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN/BIONIC WOMAN series, including the "bionic" running in slow motion, as a replacement for Lindsay Wagner (loooonng story, do your own research).
Gwyneth Paltrow is from a Hollywood family, but was not a good actress originally. Her first movie included a short topless scene, shot mostly from the side, and behind her. Suffice to say, her confidence and acting skills have both significantly improved since then.
As had been the case with "tech" professionals after the big economic crash in the USA, there have been an abundance of people for the few jobs/roles available. Given several equally talented actresses, (down from possibly hundreds of candidates) how would anyone pick between them?
Are they available for the shooting schedule? Will they promote the movie/show in the USA and overseas? Is their salary requirement in line with the movie/show? What is their added value? Why would audiences come to a movie with that actress/actor? Are they family of a famous parent? Will they NOT do certain parts? (Example: the actors in the movie POLTERGEIST refused to enter a creature's mouth in one of the most frightening scenes of that movie... not in the original script, but the director wanted to add it on a whim.) Will they work with the other cast members? (including ex-marriage partners, lovers, family, etc.). Does it seem the actor/actress will 'survive' fame? (No addiction issues, or obvious personality problems that would hurt the project?) Will an actor/actress not do a sexy scene? A "nude" scene? A sex scene? A violent scene? Combinations of those elements?
Supply and demand drives a lot of that selection, not just "the old perverts"...
At its core, an acting job is a contract job that begins and ends with the project at hand. There is never a guarantee of another job/role. Chew on that for a few minutes.
And think about the Navy SEALS... 100 candidates start the selection process, but only three will be made SEALS; when it gets down to the last 10 or so, it becomes a test of wills of who wants one of those three spots more than the other candidates.
An actor/actress getting a leading or major supporting part essentially gets a "golden ticket" to the big time. If they go on to the next bigger and better thing, the residuals for the movie/TV show under consideration become more valuable too, (DVD/Blu-Rays, TV syndication, and so on). Choosing well can mean a good deal of additional money on the back end of a "project".
It an actresses or actors job to act the role in the best way they can.
And you're quite wrong saying they were not filiming porn, because Diazs exact line in the movie is "lets make a porn".
And theres nothing disgusting about wanting the actors and actresses act their parts properly.
Are you telling me, that it wouldn't affect how you view the movie if every time they did a 'porn' scene within the movie, both Diaz and Segel were fully dressed in pyjamas?
This isn't a radio play, its a visual play, its on the team behind these movies to make them as realistic as possible, they certainly don't have to worry about a PG-13 rating, so they are artistically free to do virtually anything.
As for the rest of your anti-male diatribe, it would appear YOU have a problem with nudity and think nudity is only sexual and only applies to men.
This signature has stupidity!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlgACO7ZBuw
but few actresses does not agree with that like Cameron Diaz and this movie proved it 100%.
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!
Cameron Diaz did porno in her 20s - I just wanna know what cave do you live in?
shareyou're preaching to the choir dude. I've thought about this for years and it sickens me. it's my number two problem with movies, big actresses refusing to show nudity in movies. my number one problem is movies not showing female nudity nowadays. I was so mad at Neve Campbell for not showing nudity in a movie for so many years when she was in her prime. but at least she finally showed her boobs in a movie a few years ago. I just wish that she had around the time she was in Scream because that's when she was her hottest. she was so beautiful in Scream. I hate how actresses feel they are better than showing their boobs in movies. just show them it's not a big deal, it's hardly nudity. and you have to do it because you are in the profession of giving yourself fully to your art which means sometimes in order to convey reality you have to show your boobs! and, also you have to do it because you are in the profession of showing people your sexy body. viewers want to see that so you have to give them what they want to satisfy their sexual desires, it's a part of your job description, it's doing your job.
shareHey if Jennifer Love Hewitt decides to show her boobies between now and the time she turns 40 I won't be mad
i am fire i am death
uh, really? she's not all that attractive anymore, she looks old and rough now I think. she's lost a lot of her sexiness I think. she used to be a 10, now she's an 8 at best on a hotness scale from 1-10.
shareI think she looks hot for 35
i am fire i am death
who? and how old are you to say I think she looks hot for 35?
shareI am 21 whats wrong with what I said?
i am fire i am death
nothing I was just curious because you said she's hot for 35 so that makes me think you are younger than that. I guess I'm a lot more picky than you if you were talking about Jennifer love Hewitt, were you?
shareYeah I was talking Jennifer Love Hewitt.You also mentioned Neve Campbell in one of your posts I still think she looks hot too
i am fire i am death
oh yeah man, I mean both of them look really hot and really beautiful just older looking, Jennifer love Hewitt that is. I would take a hot woman like Jennifer Lawrence over Jennifer love Hewitt now.
shareJennifer Lawrence is ok but not really my cup of tea
i am fire i am death
Jennifer Lawrence is ok but not really my cup of tea,I take Neve and Jennifer Love over J Law anyday
i am fire i am death
and Jennifer Aniston too, she looks HOT and has AMAZING body and she was very close to be naked in 2 of her recent movies.
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!
At least Alexandra Daddario didn't wait. I'm still surprised she got naked in her prime. Seemed like the Alba type who never would.
shareCameron has AMAZING body now but she will be past her prime in the next few years and she missed her best chance to show her body in this movie and in Bad Teacher on 2013 and it looks like she will never be naked in her next movies like all her past movies...
and the other thing i think 96% of actresses are doing nudity in their prime unless Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock which am sure they will never do this scenes or sex scenes.
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!

yes but Cameron missed her best chance to do her first nudity scene in Bad Teacher and Sex Tape...
and for Jennifer Lawrence, she is already getting all the attention without doing her first nudity scene.
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!
what do you mean it looks like she will never naked in her next movies like all her past movies, she's never shown nudity in a movie that I know of, Cameron diaz?
sharesorry, i mean she is not going to be topless or naked in any of her next movies like all her other movies.
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!
Cameron Diaz has quite a few modeling photos running around the internet, and she was (apparently) actually nude in them, as well as topless.
Movies, well, she is past her prime for sure, but much better than "average". Jennifer Aniston in WE ARE THE MILLERS had enough of a "bump" in her lower abdomen that rumors were flying about her being pregnant. She is also past her prime.
I primarily object to the consistent misrepresentation of what will appear in her movies. That provides a bad example for youngsters growing up... Now if she wants to go into politics from acting, well, she might fit in pretty well then. (IMHO)
and the other thing i think 96% of actresses are doing nudity in their prime unless Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock which am sure they will never do this scenes or sex scenes.There are different ideas about what is "nudity", but...
Meh. If someone is pretty, I don't care what age they are or if they were objectively more fitting of society's current definition of beauty at an earlier date. Hot is hot. Cameron is a pretty woman. If she wants to be naked in a film, said film really won't be any worse for it, IMHO.
shareyes, age is just a number and Cneron is pretty woman with AMAZING body but she does not want to be naked in her movies and some people are very angry with that.
i went to see INCEPTION 5 times... !!!
Paula Patton went nude in "2 Guns."
Reading this thread is interesting: women are being discussed as if they're objects whose sole reason of existence is the sexual gratification of their male counterparts.
I'm a male and it's abundantly clear.
