    Since 1999, Mr. Skin has been the world’s #1 resource for celebrity nudity from movies and TV. Now, to celebrate those 10 years, Mr. Skin is counting down the 100 Greatest Celebrity Nude Scenes of All Time.

    So what made the list and why?

    First, each scene had to come from a movie or TV showno paparazzi shots or homemade sex tapes. Other factors included:

    • Star power of the naked celeb
    • Quality of nudity (i.e., what gets shown, how long it lasts)
    • Overall impact on popular culture and skinema history
    • One movie per actress (for oftennude stars, we chose their one alltime best scene)
    • One scene per movie (in a film that contains many nude scenes, we picked the best)
