Eva Herzigova is another woman who never ages.
She was 50ish when she was featured in Elle last year
This is what she looked like in her late 20s, in the French Vogue in 2002.
She has not aged much, and I think her face actually looks better now. (The body couldn’t look as good as it did then, but whose body does actually look that good, at any age?)
Katherine Towne, Tori Spelling and Natasha Gregson Wagner in Sol Goode (2003)
This is a lowbrow American sex comedy in the 90s style, but it basically has no nudity.
- Katherine Towne showed a nipple for one frame.
- Tori Spelling was not naked but was sexy. Yes, I typed that. She was also quite funny in this film, and she looked better than usual. The boobs, of course, are not her original factory equipment.
- Natasha Gregson wore a semi-transparent bra.
It was the ultimate nepo-baby film! Spelling is the daughter of TV billionaire big-shot Aaron Spelling. Wagner is the daughter of Natalie Wood and the step-daughter of Hollywood heavyweight Robert Wagner. Towne is the daughter of Robert Towne, one of the screen’s most acclaimed screenwriters, nominated for four Oscars and the winner for Chinatown.
The former Mrs. Rodman was also in this immortal cinema classic, but showed nothing.
Towne
Spelling
Wagner
Natasha Gregson Wagner did T&A scenes in several other flicks. Spelling and Towne used body doubles for their nude scenes throughout their careers, with one exception: Towne did a brief topless scene in Go (1999), seen below.
Katherine Towne seemed to have a really beautiful figure, but wasn’t interested in showing it off.
Katerina Lojdová naked in episode 12 of CSI: Ostrava
The original Czech title of the series is Místo Zločinu Ostrava
The episodes are inspired by real cases that the police have investigated in Ostrava over the past few years. The main characters of the series are a pair of seemingly very different criminologists. She is straightforward and rational, while he is explosive, moody and takes everything personally. She is selected as department head. He doesn’t mind that someone else leapfrogged over him, except that he doesn’t think she can do the job. Eventually they learn to complement each other professionally, and finally move toward a relationship that is … more than collegial.
Very dark scene:
Lena Dunham topless in Treasure (2024)
An American journalist travels to Poland with her father to visit his childhood places. But the father, a Holocaust survivor, resists reliving his trauma and sabotages the trip, creating unintentionally funny situations. Based on the best-selling autobiographical novel TOO MANY MEN by New York-based writer Lily Brett.
You don’t really see that many zany, holocaust-inspired comedies. We need more of those. Or maybe I mean fewer. Not sure.
I don’t know whether anyone out there has been waiting for new nudity from Lena Dunham, and I don’t know whether the 4K resolution makes it better or worse, but here it is:
Leann Rimes in a bikini
There’s not much exposure here, but my jaw dropped when I saw how good she looks in a bikini. I mean, she’s 42, not an actress or a model, and I’ve never pictured her as glamorous. I was sort of expecting her to have a mom bod.
Give her a tip of the hat. If she’s a mom, she’s a MILF for sure.
A bit of movie trivia – new to me
I found this story intriguing, so I followed up a bit. It seems other sources dispute the Cracked version. Den of Geek had a long article on this subject, in which they claim:
- The footage was not “lost,” but had been shipped to the salt mine for storage.
- The scenes were deemed “unworthy” simply because the film stock had deteriorated. (The Cracked verbiage does not state outright, but implies that the scenes were never included in a special edition because of their “unworthy” content.)
The unused footage was packaged off to a Transylvanian salt mine for storage, so when he came looking for the footage it was in such poor shape it was no longer usable. Anderson himself has recently reaffirmed this, seemingly dashing any hope of the lost footage re-emerging from a black hole, like the titular ship itself.
There is a third version of the story told by director Anderson in a 2022 interview:
The problem with the deleted material is that we were right before the DVD revolution when Event Horizon was released. We were going out on VHS in ancillaries. And on VHS there was no room for all of these deleted scenes, there was no reason for the studio to keep it. Now if we’d made the movie a couple of years later, they’d have been all over the deleted scenes. But by the time DVD had happened, and the audience for the movie started demanding special editions, they hadn’t archived a lot of that stuff. So it’s just not there. I think to really reinstitute what the old cut was, you’d need to probably do what they did with the Snyder Cut where you have to go and shoot some material again.
He makes no mention of the salt mine. He simply says the footage “is just not there.”
The deeper I dug into the source of the “salt mine” story, the more dead-ends I found. The salt mine tale is a claim that many have repeated, but I could not determine how the tale originated, nor could I find any first person account. I followed links that claimed Anderson’s confirmation of the story, then found no such confirmation. My current suspicion is that the entire story is bullshit, but I’m open to abandon that suspicion based on further evidence.
==========================
FOOTNOTE 1: what exactly is in that footage?
Den of Geek’s article also explains in general terms what was in the footage.
One fan went into great detail comparing the theatrical version to the existing deleted scenes to the lost deleted scenes.
If you want to totally geek out on this topic, here is the script.
==========================
FOOTNOTE 2: Additional nudity in the deleted material?
Not much.
Holly Chant was topless in the official release:
Emily Booth is topless for very few frames in the known deleted footage:
==========================
FOOTNOTE 3: Is it a good film?
I called it a brilliant genre flick, albeit one not without flaws, but I added that it had close to zero crossover appeal. From what I have read, my guess is that Anderson’s original cut would have been even more popular with genre fans, but would have had even less crossover appeal.
Roger Ebert awarded only two stars, summed up by a witty comment: “The screenplay creates a sense of foreboding and afterboding, but no actual boding.”
We both compared it to Solaris. (We referred to the Tarkovsky version. Event Horizon came out before Soderbergh’s remake of Solaris.) I summed it up as “Solaris with action scenes,” which I meant as a compliment.
