She’s another nudity legend, and one of my personal crushes. Her appearance defies the conventional definition of beauty. Students of how we perceive beauty have noted that we prefer symmetry, and that we regard a person’s eyes to be the most important aspect of human beauty. Ludivine doesn’t cut the mustard by that definition. Her right eyelid is droopy and her right eyebrow is much higher that the left.

She has only made our annual list of the best nude scenes twice: 2003 and 2004. If the list were based on my own opinion rather than a democratic election, she would have been #2 in 2000, and would have been somewhere on the list in both 2020 and 2022, even though she was already in her 40s.
(The voters tend to favor younger women, first time nudes, and North Americans, so a 40ish French woman with nearly 20 previous nude scenes has the deck stacked against her.)
