With most items on the list, I was either very familiar with the cases or didn’t care, but the case of Richard Colvin Cox really grabbed my attention.
Based on the Wikipedia story, my only question is. “Why has this never been made into a movie?”
Grazi Massafera naked in episode 19 of Madam Beja
The series had a long nudity drought in episodes 14-18, with only some brief topless nudity from the older lady in e17, but it came back with some nudity in 19:
Grazi Massafera
Brief exposure from Isabelle Nassar
Here is the other scene I mentioned above, with Thalma de Freitas in episode 17. It really isn’t worth your time, but it’s below for completists:
More Bond nudity: Daniela Bianchi in From Russia With Love
We think of the Bond films as being conservative in terms of nudity, and this appears conservative if you analyze it superficially, but this was groundbreaking nudity in 1963! I know it’s nothing by today’s standards, but if you exclude softcore films, this would have been one of the top three nude scenes of 1963, just behind Brigitte Bardot in Contempt and Jayne Mansfield in Promises! Promises!
Daniela, the first runner-up in the Miss Universe pageant in 1960, and the first woman ever to appear nude in a Bond film, retired from acting 58 years ago (!!), but is still alive, according to the internet. She turned 84 just three weeks ago.
Weird trivia: Daniela later appeared in “O.K. Connery” AKA “Operation Kid Brother” (1967), which starred Neil Connery, the actual kid brother of Sean Connery. It was, appropriately enough, a spy spoof. Neil played the challenging role of Neil Connery.
The Bondmania of the 60s inspired many copycats and spoofs. One of my local TV stations ran “Super Spy Theater” after hours on one weekend night, paired with “Chiller Theater” on the other night. As was typical for local TV stations in those days, Chiller Theater had a “scary” host. I don’t remember whether Super Spy Theater had a smooth host.
More Bond:
Virginia Hey topless in The Living Daylights (1987)
Denise Perrier in Diamonds are Forever (1971)
She isn’t naked, but she was Ursula Andress – seen here in Dr. No. (1962)
On the James Bond topic: Virginia Hey topless in The Living Daylights (1987)
Sadly, the daylights have now passed away. Happily, Virginia Hey is still with us.
Johnny Moronic’s original post also includes some nice collages and captures of Virginia in Obsession: A Taste Of Fear (1988)
A 1920×804 version:
There may have been some brief nudity from Tina Ivlev on The Pitt (s2e7)
It could be a body double, and it has all the earmarks of a double scene, but there’s no way to say for sure at this point. If it is she, it would be her nude debut.
Naked German athletes

Feldmeier participated in the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Mark’s participation in the Winter Olympics was cut short by an injury.
‘Rassler “Allie the Bunny” nekkid
Canadian professional wrestler Laura Dennis mostly known as “Allie the Bunny”
Sarah Snook topless in Not Suitable for Children (2012)
American rom-com with a high-concept premise:
A young playboy who learns he has one month until he becomes infertile sets out to procreate as much as possible.
The Succession co-star has not done much nudity, and what she has done has been quite inexplicit. To my knowledge, her only other nudity was in The Beautiful Lie (2015):
Speaking of James Bond …
A few looks at Ursula Andress in Dr. No.
Re-watching it just now, I was struck by how low-tech it was. Damn, 1962 was long ago.
Weird trivia: Joseph Wiseman (Dr. No) and Jack Lord (CIA man Felix Leiter, Bond’s ally) were in high school together. Joseph Wiseman was a senior at John Adams High School in Queens when Jack Lord was a freshman. Jackie Gleason attended the same high school. He would have been two years ahead of Wiseman.
More trivia: A Francisco de Goya painting of the Duke of Wellington, stolen in August 1961 from London’s National Gallery, is found on an easel next to the stairs in Dr. No’s dining area, which is why Bond stops to notice it as he passes it while going up the stairs. The painting was still missing when the film was released.
More: you never hear the voice of Ursula Andress. Nikki van der Zyl dubbed her speaking lines, and Diana Coupland sang for her.
Nikki was incredibly good at re-voicing, maybe the best of all time. Knowing in advance that the voice was dubbed, I watched the lip/sound sync, and it is flawless. Nikki re-voiced every female voice in the film except Moneypenny and Miss Taro – even the voices of native English speakers. She also provided voices for many other Bond films. For example, she provided Claudine Auger’s voice in Thunderball, Mie Hama’s voice in You Only Live Twice, Françoise Therry’s voice in The Man With the Golden Gun, and Corinne Cléry’s voice in Moonraker. She couldn’t speak for Gert Frobe in Goldfinger, but taught him to speak his dialogue phonetically and more naturally because his English was virtually non-existent at the time. (Here’s an interview with Nikki, and here’s a biography.)
Why the topic came up: Denise Perrier did a clear topless scene in Diamonds are Forever (1971)
