Natalie Wood Nude

1969 stands as the year that pop culture evolved from the mass grooviness of Woodstock and the far-out giant leap of the moon landing to the horror of the Manson Family murders and the Hells Angels stomping out flower power at Altamont.

It was also the year that Hollywood erupted with new creative freedom, emboldened by expanding societal mores and the new MPAA rating system.

Filmmakers could now dip into the palette of patently adult material, including coarse language, unflinching violence, and, most importantly, sex and nudity.

Let’s trip on back to 1969 and dig nine classic nude scenes from that headiest of daze gone by.

1. EASY RIDER

Easy Rider is indisputably one of the hippie era’s ultimate artistic statements. Toni Basil’s “Hey Mickey!” video is one of the most indelible media images of the 1980s. How interesting that one cultural touchstone unwittingly begat another. On acid. Naked.

Wherever men of ideas and action gather to exchange theories and compare experiences, the talk invariably comes around to praising those few accomplished gentlemen among us who have wallowed in the physical delights of a mother and her daughter. The notion of gaining access to the most intimate, moistest recesses of two women, one of whom has squirmed from the womb of the other, is too much for a meek-willed male to contemplate without swooning. It's a hale and brave fellow who embraces the reality of copulating with two successive generations of directly descending females.
