Diane Lane is one of Hollywood's hottest MILFS and she has been deemed that way forever. With her husky voice and hot hooters, she has seriously delivered on nude scenes. I wanted to shine a light on some of her lesser-known nude scenes and I wanted to start off with her role in Chaplin for today's Throwback Thursday. #TBT to her breasts in Chaplin!
This 1992 film from Richard Attenborough examines The Little Tramp and also shows us some of the tramps that the famous womanizer hung out with. The movie had a star-studded cast that included Marisa Tomei as Mabel Normand and Milla Jovovich as Mildred Harris, just to name a few. Diane played actress Paulette Goddard who was a former Ziegfeld Girl that became a major star in the 1940s. She, like so many other starlets, had an affair with Chaplin. She was also one of his favorite leading ladies who starred in 1936's Modern Times and in his first talkie The Great Dictator. Chaplin loved this feisty little brunette for her independent attitude and her passion for life. In this movie, we see her laying in bed topless after sex. If only we had been able to see their passion!
Diane wasn't the only nude babe in the movie. Moira Kelly played Irish dancer Hetty Kelly who was the first great love of Charlie Chaplin way back in 1908. Chaplin became obsessed with her and saw her as the female ideal. He allegedly modeled the characters of his female romantic leads in his movies after her. Moira brings Hetty to life here and in her portrayal, it is not hard to see why Chaplin would become obsessed with her. What a looker! Hetty sadly passed away in 1918 during the flu epidemic, but Moira is here to give her rack some justice.
Another fun fact about the movie's starlets is that Geraldine Chaplin played Hannah Chaplin which must been an honor for this actress. Her father was Charlie and here she was playing her grandmother who was also an actress. It's true! Hannah Chaplin was a performer in England who went by the stage name Lily Harley, so performing was in young charlie's blood. In fact, Charlie got his start in vaudeville after his mother became very ill and the five-year-old clown stepped onstage in her place. What a legacy! Geraldine played her grandmother in this movie and she was even nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her performance. Of course, Charlie's daughter wasn't silent about nude scenes. She went full frontal in the 1977 film Welcome to L.A. which you can watch here:
