Meryl Streep is celebrated as one of the best actresses of our time, if not of all time. People adore Meryl. If Meryl is in a movie, it can't go wrong. But did you know this well-respected actress went nude in her earlier days? It's true! Let's throw it back to Meryl's earlier work in which she showed her breasts.

Meryl used a body double for her later nude scenes, but in the 1980s she was comfortable enough in her own skin to flash her mams. She began her onscreen career in the late 1970s and was first nominated for an Oscar in 1978 for her performance in The Deer Hunter. So right off the bat, Meryl was destined for greatness. In 1983's Silkwood - directed by Mike Nichols and co-starring Cher - a mulleted Meryl unbuttoned her jumpsuit to show the small, pink nipple on her left boob.

Luckily, she decided to let her domes out again a few years later in She-Devil. In that 1989 comedy from Susan Seidelman, she has a sex scene that gives glimpses of her breasts underneath her man.

After these small nude roles, Meryl depended on the use of body doubles - and they were good body doubles at that! Still, we're happy to have seen the hooters of the greatest living actress at some point in cinema history. Her melons will live in skinfamy.
