It's no secret. The formula goes as such: 1) appear in your first couple of films/TV series in provocative dress/situations, but don't show any T & A. 2) hit your first big commercial success; the one that makes you a household name. 3) do a lot of behind-the-scenes press and "benevolence" while preparing for your next role as a prostitute or a saint. This is the one that will win you your Oscar. 4) you may or may not appear nude in your Oscar performance; it should be something vulnerable, though, like a rape victim or a shy virgin. 5) after the performance, you may star in any number of high-concept dramas that feature your nude, lithe form in varying degrees of sexual depravity, so long as the "message" of the movie remains noble. 6) you may or may not pose for classy, nude still photos at this point, perhaps showing a tuft of pubic hair. By following these steps, you will avoid exposure too early (Elizabeth Berkley, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears et al, who cheaply "gave up the goods" immediately and left nothing to further tittilate their fans) or too late (Meg Ryan, Winona Ryder or Neve Campbell, who waited until their careers were flagging to show some skin in desperation). You will instead follow in the footsteps of giants like Kate Winslett and Nicole Kidman. |

OMG OP...my brother and his wife are BOTH producers. Also, my Sister in Law's (Brother's wife) brother AND wife are actors. That is four people in the business plus quite a few others I know...the answer is NO. Of course, you do have the option I mean even as an xtra some of the agencies needed to know where to cast you and they had to know if you did nudity..but you worked either way. Who told you this lie? |

Good grief. That's very insightful of you. I agree. Some do their "skin" movie first, and get it out of the way. And yeah, they do seem to burn out fast. Others, the more successful ones it seems, do their "skin movie" after some time of recognition, and popularity. And sadly, as you pointed out, some wait to do it until their popularity, talents, and profitability are all but lost. They try to get back into the game, but usually don't get the chance even after they've consented to shame themselves. Kind of sad, really. I don't care for "celebrities" myself. I think they are shallow, deceitful, greedy little people, but exploiting anyone still isn't right. |

In a way, it's hard to argue. Guys spend billions per year on strip bars, porn, prostitutes, even unloading 15 dollars a hit for some cold, nasty chicken wings served by an anorexic cocktease at a sports bar, in the hopes that she'll rub up against him for five seconds. In any case, it's hard to say who is being exploited more--the dames themselves or the poor saps who pay through the nose for a flash of skin. I'll tell you who it's not, though--the dirtbag producers. They're the only ones who have nothing to lose in these scenarios. |

You have to wonder who is exploiting whom? When Demi Moore got naked in "Striptease," it was at the height of her popularity, and yet I remember them promoting it as a very positive film for women; that stripping and making men drool and throw money at them was somehow empowering. It was win-win; Demi got more fame (and the gratitude of a tit-hungry public), the producers (and Demi) made assloads of money, and the world's male population got to rub one out on their TV screens.

Hollywood is evil as we all know, and many of the actresses are quite attractive. These are facts. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 782617I've watched a good number of Hollywood movies in my time, and it occurred to me the other day that I really can't think of many actresses that haven't appeared in a movie at least partially nude in some way. Since this is a conspiracy site, I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I mean it seems like EVERY actresses must show something in at least one movie, or they won't get recognition or other acting jobs. It wouldn't surprise me if the Hollywood powers that be make this a requirement, because there are MANY films that have nudity in them when it isn't necessary. The nudity usually doesn't enhance the plot, or have much to do with the theme of the movie. It's just there for the sake of being there. I would like to point out that I am not homosexual. Beautiful women are not unpleasant to look at. But if actresses are being FORCED to show their goods so the industry can make money, or the alternative is being out of "work", that doesn't set well with me. It's almost like they're being pimped out or something. And yes, I know sex sells, but when nearly EVERY successful actresses takes it off for a movie, that starts to show a pattern if you ask me. Anyone else have any thoughts? (And yes, I know about the 3,000 page Jessica Simpson thread that provides no evidence, and that thread did not inspire me.) yes I have noticed this It's no secret. The formula goes as such: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7935761) appear in your first couple of films/TV series in provocative dress/situations, but don't show any T & A. 2) hit your first big commercial success; the one that makes you a household name. 3) do a lot of behind-the-scenes press and "benevolence" while preparing for your next role as a prostitute or a saint.

Interesting that you just say "HOLLYWOOD" is evil. LOL The thing is like any industry you can't do that. Are all parents evil? What about bankers? How about teachers? The point that there are good and bad in ALL. That being said you have never worked in the biz...if you had you would know that there are a ton of NORMAL people that make it all work...from editors to the union camera crew to the post production people (they are always fun) to segment producers to the the composer that only got paid $30,000 for the entire show and wants more. These people are NOT evil..they work hard and a lot of them struggle just like anyone else..they do charities, get married, have children and die...just like you...just like me. Now are there evil parts..Well yeah..but again if you think all Soccer coaches have sex with 15 year olds you are mistaken...but it happens. Also, the four people that I mentioned (I know a LOT MORE due to my background) are NOT new...you would know the work they have done..ALL OF THEM and they work their butt off until the few weeks they get to take off.
