Patricia Clarkson had a very candid conversation at the Miami Film Festival where she did an open, honest discussion about her work as an actor. We've adored Patricia's career, specifically all of her nude scenes. Luckily, she considers that an important and "essential" part of her career.

Patricia talked about her Broadway work in The Elephant Man in which she was naked every night. She made jokes about being naked with Bradley Cooper every night, but she insisted that she thinks nudity can be essential. That's like...our own philosophy! We thought Patricia might be a fan of Mr. Skin.

She said, “Sometimes I do think that nudity is essential to take the character to a different place. Nudity is always difficult. It’s never easy, and it shouldn’t be easy. It should be essential.” We think it should be, too. Which leads us to a question: what is the most essential Patricia Clarkson nude scene?
