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
While retro stunner Julie Christie's debut(t) nude scene in Darling won't go down as the best bod baring of her career, it did offer a nice shot of her rear. And for that she got a nod from the Academy for Best Actress in a Leading Role, making Julie the first woman to earn an Oscar for a nude perv-formance. Fitting, then, that the movie centers on Julie as a fashion model who sleeps her way to the top. And Mr Skin definitely appreciates that she took off her top in the process!
Julie was nominated for Best Actress three more times in her career but never captured the gold again. Is it a coincidence that all three of those performances were non-nude? Maybe Julie should have learned a lesson from Darling and gotten the Academy's full attention with a little full frontal in those roles!
