When Beatrix (Ellen Greene) finds herself feeling disconnected and insignificant she is called to step far out of her comfort zone to sense her place in the world again.
This isn’t one of the best nude scenes of 2025, but it is certainly one of the most surprising. Ellen Greene is not somebody I have been expecting nudity from, or somebody I have been wanting to see nudity from. She isn’t even someone I have thought about at all in the past twenty years or so. If you had asked me last week, “Ellen Greene, dead or alive?” I would have had to answer with a coin flip. Ellen Greene naked at 74? Hell, she didn’t even get this naked when she was young! This is her first true nudity in almost 50 years.
She nearly went went Full Tandy!
The film clip is below, with her other videos
Her nude history, such as it is:
1976 – Next Stop, Greenwich Village, filmed when she was 25, was her only real nudity.
There is slightly more nudity visible in the full-frame version, which is only available on VHS. (Consider the very center square below.) Both the VHS version and the widescreen Blu-Ray version are available in the video link below.
1986 – Little Shop of Horrors formed a large chunk of her career. She originated the role of Audrey on the New York stage in 1982, then was in the original London cast in 1983, then re-created her performance for the film in 1986, when she was 35. There is no real nudity, but one areola is visible in a few frames.
1989 – Glory! Glory! was an HBO film with plenty of sex scenes, but they uncharacteristically kept the nudity to a minimum. There may be a visible nipple here and there.
2001 – Alex in Wonder (aka Sex and the Girl) offered only some side-boob and a hint of plumber’s crack. By this time, she was 50 years old and was playing the mother of the lead character.
Had her “nude scenes” on VHS about a million yrs ago. Digressing …
Isn’t there brief nudity from her in the HBO movie “Glory! Glory!”? It’s the only thing I remember about the film, but it looks pretty forgotten/overlooked based on the quick search I just did.
The entire film is online.
She did several sex scenes, but the producers were quite circumspect about the nudity. I’ll add the best stuff to her nudography, but I don’t think there is a visible nipple. (Maybe. The quality of the existing prints is poor.)
Thanks for the tip.
She was terrific in Little Shop of Horrors at age 35, bizarre comical speaking voice, astounding operatic singing voice, slender curvy body with breathtaking bosom.
Seeing her looking great at age 74 is wonderfully life-affirming! She doesn’t have all the acting accolades of Helen Mirren (nor, alas, as much recorded nudography), but Ellen Greene’s naked 74 would hold up well to perhaps half of all American women one half century her junior.
Brava Ellen Greene!
Her singing was incredible in Glory! Glory! That lady had some pipes.
GILF-tastic! Anybody down for an over-70 nude scene history, including late bloomers like Stephanie Powers? Tandy’s scrawny ol’ butt in that movie nearly overshadowed Bridget Fonda skinny dipping with her!
Never did see Little Shop ’86 – not big on musicals except the one where Julie Andrews showed her hills were alive – but I did like her boobs in Greenwich Village, Good for her!
