She took off her clothing only once for a film role, and that when she was 47 years old, in Gypsy Moths.
Of course she really could not have done much nudity when she was younger, because there simply was none to speak of for mainstream actresses before 1965, when she was already in her mid 40s.
She was possibly the most distinguished actress of the 1950s. From 1950 until 1961, a span of twelve years, she was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar six times, including three in a row. In the 1957-59 period, she received acting honors for four different films: The King and I; Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison; Separate Tables; Tea and Sympathy. The first three earned her Oscar nominations and the other earned her BAFTA and NYFC nominations.
Despite the esteem in which she was held, she never won any of those Oscars. She remains to this day the record-holder for the most Best Actress nominations without a win. (Glenn Close has been nominated for seven Oscars without a win, but several of those were in the Best Supporting Actress category.)
It’s too bad that Kerr had to wind down her distinguished career in this cheesy, old-fashioned melodrama with a plot and pace better suited for a few weeks of Days of Our Lives. It pushes the usual 1950s theme of local home-spun values contrasted to the free and modern thinking of the outside world, as symbolized by traveling performers. Burt Lancaster typically delivers all of his lines as if he were a professor lecturing a required freshman oratory class in a large auditorium, and Scott Wilson is so laid-back that he may actually have been sleepwalking. Gene Hackman does manage to deliver a performance in the realistic, modern style, but that alone couldn’t hold my attention.

It isn’t really. In truth, I have no clue what it is, but she’s topless in HQ, so why quibble.
At least I think it is unintentional. With Lily, who knows?
This is an enlarged still of one of the best frames from their sex scene in Original Sin (2001), an over-the-top remake of a fairly entertaining, but confusingly plotted original (Truffaut’s Mississippi Mermaid, 1969).
The original film was OK (82% on Rotten Tomatoes), but had one massive and obvious logic error, so you’d think the remake would have corrected that. Oddly enough it did not, although it changed many other plot points, especially in the final act. The remake was kind of crazy and melodramatic, which made it kind of over-the-top fun, but it was mediocre at best (12% on Rotten Tomatoes). On the other hand, the sex scene between these two was arguably the hottest sex scene ever filmed between A-list actors, which they were at the time.
There’s a butt shot in there somewhere, but you have to click through a lot of crap to get to it. It’s about #7 in the series.
A great still capture from My Days of Mercy (2017). This is worth a look even if you have watched the scene many times before.
Cain was considered at an increased risk for coronavirus due to his age and history with cancer.
“As a co-chair of Black Voices for Trump, Cain was one of the surrogates at President Donald Trump’s June 20 rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma — which saw at least eight Trump advance team staffers in attendance test positive for coronavirus. Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh has told CNN that Cain did not meet with Trump at the Tulsa rally. Cain had posted a photo of himself at the rally, seated closely among other attendees without a facial covering.
Earlier this month, Cain appeared to support the decision not to require masks for Trump’s July 4 celebration event at Mount Rushmore. ‘Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by President Trump. PEOPLE ARE FED UP!’ Cain’s Twitter account posted in a tweet that appears to have since been removed.”
In the words of Stephen Colbert, playing his Colbert Report character:
People have said to me, ‘Stephen you gotta understand, you don’t even know your history. You’re dumb. You’re dense. You’re a mental midget with the IQ of a butter dish whose mind is a black hole that sucks all surrounding thought into it in an infinite singularity of pure stupidity. Stephen I’m surprised you can even dress yourself. I bet you have to rub peanut butter inside your lips to remember to open your mouth to breathe. I have never met, and I hope never to meet, a man so pervasively, astoundingly, unyieldingly ignorant.’
To which I say, ‘Well, then you haven’t met Louie Gohmert.’
Only days ago, after asserting that “slavery was a necessary evil,” Tom Cotton was defending himself of against charges of being racist. Now, the Arkansas senator has found himself embroiled in yet another controversy after telling The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that “the Holocaust was also a necessary evil.” Appearing earlier today on the Fox New Channel’s morning show Fox and Friends, Cotton justified his remarks, arguing that “absent the Holocaust, Israel would not be a country today.”
She and her butt are a youthful 39.
