Kate Beckinsale has always been slim, but not like this …

All the pics from the Met Gala
Great, comprehensive collection! “ALL THE LOOKS from the prestigious bullshit event.” Yup. The Met Gala is perhaps the bullshittiest of all the swanky bullshit events. The award shows and the fashion weeks in Milan and Paris are strong playoff games, but the Met Gala is the Super Bowl of swanky…
Cool, and very nice. I had not seen this before. I did not know that she had done nudes early in her modelling career. I do know that mid-career she did at least one interview where she made some negative comments about film nudity and said that she would not do it. Later on she changed her mind, saying that it was beautiful, appearing nude herself late career, regretting that she had not done it in her prime, and endorsing her daughter’s decision to do nude scenes. .
Just keep in mind to take all of their comments with a grain of salt. They usually say whatever makes sense with what they are doing at that point in time. If they are doing a movie with nude scenes they’ll say it’s great, if they are doing more conservative roles at that time they’ll say they want to avoid nudity. When they make public comments it is usually for PR purposes to promote the film they are in. The people putting up money for the film expect the actors to make comments that will help sell it. The investors consider that just as important as their acting.
Thanks, Stick. This is exactly the thing that always pops into my mind when people are citing statements from interviews of project principals as proof positive. Like either the director or an actress in a scene with nudity where she may or may not be actually seen nude. In that situation, those particular people are liars. Paid to be, & under contract to be, precisely obedient tools.
Maybe, or maybe not. Presumably she had the opportunity to do lots of nudity when she was younger, but didn’t. So that seems to show that she preferred not to at the time. And are she and her daughter doing nudity now despite not wanting to do it? Maybe, but I am doubtful.
Sure, Chinney, & at the risk of circular reasoning, Andie has said in some interview that she was never against the nudity, any of it. It was always the projects she was in that didn’t want at least her releases in the U.S. to show it. That’s why we have footage of the nude scenes in Ruby Cairo in Andie’s heyday as a movie star, from “overseas” releases. But these scenes were censored voluntarily by the producers. Saying things like that Love After Love was her “debut” nudity was a fiction to preserve Americans’ illusion that the U.S. is the world. You are, according to Andie’s statement, in error. If you doubt Andie here, that would serve as an example of Stick’s point (& mine). If not, then you must correct your speculation.
I don’t deny that she said different things at different times about appearing nude in films. Indeed, that was the essence of my original comment. Nor do I deny that she did some nudity earlier in her career, although as you point out it was apparently quite limited and was largely for ‘overseas’ consumption.
What is at issue is the “why”. You and Stick suggest that her different statements and actions were likely just the product of PR and studio machinations at different times. Maybe, or maybe not. However, the nature of her statements and the nudity that she did do make me doubt it. Certainly she would have had the opportunity to do lots more nudity earlier in her career, if that is what she had wanted. I think that it was likely personal. People do change their minds and also give inconsistent statements about the reasons for earlier actions.
Except that I didn’t actually say what you think I did. I meant that we can’t take their interviews at face value, not that we can’t ever believe them. What I meant is that I believe Andie’s specific statement that she never really was against doing the nudity in the first place. And I don’t believe her when she clearly lied about her “debut nude scene” in Love After Love. That was a fiction that I see as out of character for her, but consistent with an assumption that it might bump the film’s box office intake.
I may be a math guy, but life is not reducible to math. There are often wrinkles that force us to choose between clarity & accuracy.
It was weird because she was briefly topless on Ruby Cairo and had posed nude early in her career. When Love After Love came out she just pretended it was the first time she was doing a nude scene. And even then that scene was overhyped. It’s just a split second shot of one boob basically.
No, both nipples just a few seconds apart in Love After Love. The first one, I’ve never seen one comment on, though it’s generally visible in all the clips. Sure, everyone notices when the second one comes out. But there was already one out before that. Don’t mind me, I was noticing nudity that Craig Hosoda had missed, back in the day.
Like, that scene from Texas Lightning where Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) has her right nip pop out partially covered by her fingers, but we get a clearer shot of her left nip peeking up over her left forearm. Yet every time we get a single frame cap, it’s always centered on that right nip that’s harder to make out the details of. Details are important, bc I want to know if I’m looking at tape, a pastie, or even a fake chest or not, so I can judge if it’s really nudity.
The reason I’m not so worried about merkins is if an actress is willing to run the risk that an unsuspecting viewer thinks it’s really her muff, well that’s the opposite of protecting her modesty. I still have a serious problem with breast-feeding scenes, since prosthetics are common in that situation, & both the actress & the director tend to be more focused on us seeing a breast & not so much on it being really hers. I mean, I’d like to think I’ve seen Morfydd Clark’s nip, but I doubt it.
never would have recognized her
I misread that as “Penis Deal” and almost didn’t click on it expecting there might be a Crying Game surprise.
Let’s see, 1981… She would’ve been about 23 in these photos.
A year older than her daughter Margaret Qualley when she did her first nude scene.
