Maria Bello recently wrote a heart-warming essay for the New York Times titled "Coming Out as a Modern Family", revealing she’s in a long-term lesbian relationship with social activist Clare Munn. She’s certainly in good company, joining the ranks of smoking hot blond babes like Portia de Rossi, Amber Heard, and Kelly McGillis who have publicly and happily embraced their lady-loving natures.

We hope this will lead her getting cast in some sexy Sapphic roles, Blue is the Warmest Color: The Later Years, perhaps? There’s no denying that Maria is a sensational actress, let’s take a minute to revel in the breadth of her convincingly hetero love scenes over the years:

PermanentMaria made her nude debut playing a former junky in Permanent Midnight (1998) with Ben Stiller, and followed that up with another brief view of her perky pair in Duets (2000).

The CoolerShe was the fantasy girl of Bob Crane's dreams in Auto Focus (2000), and showed her best TA so far for the lucky William H. Macy in The Cooler (2003).

HistoryBut nothing could top her full-frontal nudity, 69ing action, and stair sex with Viggo Mortensen in A History of Violence (2005).

CompanyShe was last nude a few years ago while bedding down Tommy Lee Jones in The Company Men (2010). We love to see Maria nude above and Bello!
