Phoebe Cates Nude

Phoebe Cates’s other great ’80s teen sex comedy also

features Saw babe Betsy Russell, scream queen Brinke Stevens, and loads of sexy surprises.

If summertime 1982 served as cherry-popping Ground Zero for the decade’s teen sex comedy phenomenon—and seeing as it contained the premieres of Porky's, The Last American Virgin, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, it did—then the subsequent swelter season’s Private School (1983) was the first direct fallout. And what a gloriously radiant after-effect it is.

To be sure, a spate of raunchy teen farces did rush into theaters during the ’82-’83 school year—among them: The Beach Girls, Homework, Joysticks, Losin’ It, Goin’ All the Way, My Tutor, Pink Motel, Spring Break, (the mighty) Screwballs, and (the also mighty) Zapped!

But Private School represented Hollywood’s first full-scale attempt to concoct an all-out teen sex comedy blockbuster, calculatedly combining familiar genre tropes (nerds, jocks, nudity-producing pranks, cross-dressing one’s way into the girls’ shower room, etc.), and then adding Phoebe Cates—the naked girl from Fast Times—up on top like a beautiful, brown-nippled bow.

As MrSkin.com begins its Summer of Skin, a celebration to mark one decade of being the web’s foremost authority on celebrity nudity, big things are in the works. And not the kind of big things under Kate Winslet’s sports bra. Even bigger things.

Next month, Mr Skin will announce the top 100 nude scenes in the history of cinema and the web is abuzz with skin-ticipation.

Should Phoebe Cates’s topless shot from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which has been stuck in the top slot since the site’s inception and is widely regarded as the Alpha and Omega of celebrity nudity, retain its title as #1?

The world first observed the art of carrot fellatio, hung ten with Jeff Spicoli, and learned the definitive answer to an eternal question -- “Doesn’t anybody fucking knock anymore?” -- on this date in 1982.

That’s when Fast Times at Ridgemont High hit theaters and forever changed the landscape of teen movies, pop culture as a whole, and the incidents of the phrase “Awesome! Totally awesome!” in day-to-day discourse.
