This is what I love about actresses from the U.K. Ninety percent of them take their clothes off on film sooner or later. Meanwhile, American actresses are all becoming prudes.
This has been your unabashedly sexist comment of the day. I'll be here all week, and remember to tip your waiter on the way out.
I don't really see how this sexist -- in the sense that, as a female, I'm totally not offended by it. Americans (and I'm one so I can generalize) are on the whole wayyyyy to uptight about nakedness and sexuality. Which is why I've participated (and actually organized for 2.5 years) an event at my university where we get naked and hand out donuts in the libraries during finals period. Because being naked is nice ... and funny ... and can be sexy at the right time.
So, I vote no to your "sexist" comment and "yes" to your accurate observation (I mean, these American actresses have personal trainers so they've got a flat and seriously unnatural stomach yet they have to have a BUTT-DOUBLE for any nude back shots?!? seriously, wtf).
Although the weidest one in that stakes is Britt Eckland (who I think is Scandinvian - who are supposedly not bothered about nudity at all) in "The Wicker Man" who was fine with exposing her boobs but insisted on a body double for her backside - maybe she just didn't like her bum.
Europeans especially central and northern Europeans seem to be a lot more laid back about nudity in general than either of our nations bordering the Atlantic.
I've wanted to see this film for awhile now! (But sadly, forget every time I make it to the video store when I'm with my parents at home visiting...and alas, no netflix). In any case, this is in my top 5 movies to see asap ... and I bet Sophia Myles is GORGE.
ps. I read your "review" -- not a spoiler in any way... nice to know you artists appreciate athletic/fit models -- I'm trying to make some extra cash and I figure it's a relatively painless way to go. Got any contacts in the Providence, RI area? :P
Not really I can say that in the Boston area if you will just show up on time and when your supposed to the teachers will beat a path to your door. The biggest problem with the art model scene is flakes that can manage thier time. Good luck....
ah shucks. Yeah, I actually got a lead on a job but I'm not sure if I can work it with my class schedule (and everything else) ... but there's always RISD. :)
Hmmm, RISD is a notorious dyke haven ( the man-hating type) I know a frind who went to montessori, there they rotate the modeling around the class members. I bet that sets off a few wide-eyed freshmen...

Here are some photos of her and her BF. They're both fully dressed (unfortunately?) ...

(She was also in "Underworld", playing the extremely amusing cat-girl vampire, if you're interested.)
