This is a scene from her epic, nearly legendary, performance in Sex and Lucia.
This earned her the #9 spot among our Top Nude Scenes of 2002, a year in which she faced some stiff competition!
Emily Mortimer, Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham, Rebecca Romijn, Kate Winslet, Salma Hayek, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Monica Bellucci all did full-frontal nudity that year. Every single one of those scenes was in a theatrically-released film.
That 2002 list represents a perfect illustration of how dramatically the world of entertainment has changed. Not one of the twenty best nude scenes was from a TV show or streaming series. In recent years, shows like Game of Thrones, Spartacus, Altered Carbon, True Detective, True Blood, Strange Angel, Euphoria, Westworld, GLOW, Weeds, Girls, Shameless and Jett have churned out many great nude scenes.
Before 2008, no scene from a series had ever been chosen as the year’s best. Since then, annual winners have included Anna Paquin, Eva Amurri, Emmy Rossum, Alexandra Daddario and Alison Brie, each from a series. Many other series performers have been top ten finishers.
