Before her lengthy stint on TNG, Marina did nude scenes in small-to-supporting roles in three mainstream films. That isn’t surprising, as it was a typical path for an aspiring actress in her 20s in the 1980s.
What was surprising was her final nude scene in Paradise Lost, which took place post-Trek, when she was 44, in what appears to be a non-union film financed by Puerto Rican tax dollars. There is a trailer online, and the opening credits read: “In association with Puerto Rico’s Investment Tax Credit Enhancement Film Fund.” There could not have been much of that sweet, sweet tax money available, because the budget for this film appears to have been microscopic.
Based on the number of IMDb votes, virtually nobody has seen it, but I have! I actually spent a lot of time on it. I think it is one of my more entertaining reviews.
Interesting sidebar: When I wrote that review, probably twenty years ago, Marina was born in 1960. She is now born in 1955 so, as befits a sci-fi star, she managed to time-travel. A lot of people in Hollywood fudge their birthdays, but Marina got away with a full five years before she fessed up. Your move, Mimi Rogers!
Anyway … here are the goodies:
1983 – The Wicked Lady
1984 – Blind Date
1985 – Death Wish III
1999 – Paradise Lost
This Blind Date is NOT the 1987 movie directed by Blake Edwards and starring Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger
You can say that again! It’s a typically cheapjack film from Nico Mastorakis, who wrote and directed Island of Death, “the Citizen Kane of goat-fucking films.”
“The GOAT of goat-fucking films” was right there.
No, this is 1984 Blind Date with a naked Kirstie Alley.
Mind you, if there aren’t any others, then it’s also the worst.
Oh, once a goat-fucking film sells some tickets, there are bound to be more. Even if it’s just a gritty reboot of the first one, starring Scott Baio.
Remember the old adage, “you fuck one goat, and now you’re a goat-fucker”.
Goaty loves Chachi
She offered a very brief glimpse of bush in that Wicked Lady scene, much to my appreciation. Link to the video here
Hollywood hardly showing tits is bad enough, but the refusal to show bush is probably 1000 times more ridiculous. All these scenes over the years with actresses running around totally nude and somehow we only see their tits and ass. All over a little pubic hair. Women look great naked especially when you see all the curves at once. Cutting to tits and then to ass just to avoid a little hair is absurd and ruins these scenes. The French do it the right way, Hollywood has always been messed up.
