Welcome to a new series here at Mr. Skin where we take a look at Hollywood's Golden Age...its NUDE Golden Age. We are considering The Golden Age of Nudity in film to be the 1980s, specifically the early 80s. After our weekly deep dive, you will be inclined to agree. This week we are going to take a look at Trading Places and its iconic nude scenes.
A little over 40 years ago, Trading Places was released. The film starred Jamie Lee Curtis at her absolute hottest. There is no doubt that this was Jamie's most confident prime. Look at the way she carries herself with her cropped cut, long legs, and perky pair. She delivered one of the best topless scenes of the 1980s - if not of all time!
John Landis directed this classic comedy that starred Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. This 1983 comedy follows a snooty stockbroker and a con artist from the streets whose lives are intertwined when a bet goes badly. The men then switch places - Aykroyd has to see what it is like to live as a streetwise con artist and Eddie Murphy gets to enjoy the finer things in life. Those finer things include women, of course!
The men score when they come into contact with Jamie Lee Curtis. She totally steals the show when she plays a hot hooker who becomes emotional support for Dan Aykroyd. Probably physically support, too! He crashes at her pad which seems like a great gig. Who wouldn't give up their fancy pants mansion and high-roller lifestyle to roll around in bed with a topless Ms. Curtis? It's a dream come true!
Speaking of the support that she provides Aykroyd, there is a lot of support to go around in this scene. Jamie Lee Curtis' breasts look mightily supported. She wears black lace panties and nothing else before she swaps out her clothing. Between her large chest, her slim waist, and her long legs, Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the hottest movie stars of the early 1980s. She's confident, cool, and she has fantastic cans!
There are other topless ladies in the movie! Barra Kahn gets out of bed naked to say hello to Eddie Murphy. Well, hello there! What a skintastic greeting. Barra is such a babe with her big fat naturals.
These are quality nude scenes. There is no shying away from these breasts and we celebrate their nude scenes decades later. Watch one of the scenes to see it for yourself as Jamie seductively slips her hot pink dress off until she is down to her skivvies. No bra, just panties. Watch the scene here:
