As We Count Down to the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22nd, Mr Skin Pays Tribute to the Twenty Actresses Who Took Home Oscar Gold for Films in Which They Flashed Flesh


As of 1976, the Academy had doled out three statuettes for leading ladies who had aired out their chest babies in their winning roles, but it wasn't until that year that a supporting actress was honored for showing off her best supporting parts. The actress was Lee Grant, and the film was Shampoo, which finds Warren Beatty bedding as many women as . . . well, Warren Beatty. Coincidentally, Shampoo also offers up a nude performance from Julie Christie, who was the first actress to win an Oscar for Best Actress for a nude role. Truly, everything is connected.
