For today's Throwback Thursday, we're going to look back at some nude scenes that are almost 100 years old. Hell, one of these scenes is already 105 years old! Get educated and titillated by these black & whiteboobs from the earliest days of nude scenes.
Lil Dagover in Between Two Worlds (1921)
Lil Dagover was a silent star and muse to many artists. She lived in Germany where she was best known for her work in German expressionist films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. This babe bore her breasts in Between Two Worlds. Based on the look at her big, dark nipples the title should be Between Two Areolas.
Clara Bow was the It girl of the 1920s. She's the original It girl, in fact, due to her role in the movie It (1927). As America's OG sweetheart, Clara knew that sex sells. She sneakily showed suck sacks in Wings for a scene that will make your jet launch.
Josephine Baker in Siren of the Tropics (1927)
Dancer and actress Josephine Baker was a blackstarlet at a time where it was very hard to do that. This sexy minx enjoyed fame throughout the silent era because she moved to France where she was adored by the public. The openly bisexual babe went topless in Siren of the Tropics, proving that she was an icon for self-expression. She goes topless a lot in the film, including a sultry scene where Josephine takes a bath.
Brigitte Helm in Metropolis (1927)
Metropolis is one of the most enduring silent films. Set in the year 2000, Fritz Lang's dystopian class struggle film is given some relief with Brigitte Helm's nearly naked dance. Her body is also copied to be the legendary robot, making her look like an original Svedka Vodka ad. From her erotic dancing to her robot body, Brigitte's sexy scenes live on for a reason.
Claudette Colbert in The Sign of the Cross (1932)
Claudette Colbert wound up winning a Best Actress award for her role in the screwball comedy It Happened One Night. Before that, however, Claudette proudly went tits out for an amazing nude scene in the pre-code film The Sign of the Cross. Say a prayer for that pair!
Audrey Munson in Inspiration (1915)
The grand dame of nudity is definitely Audrey Munson. Audrey is actually THE nude model of New York City. For real. Nearly every statue of a woman in public from museums to parks is Miss Munson herself. Audrey Munson made a living as a model and as such, she posed nude often. She also made a few films and sadly many of them are lost except for 1915's Inspiration. Audrey proves she is an inspiration for actresses after her when she went nude for one of the spiciest scenes in early film history.
